2) Do you guys use other ARM9s and if so from which vendor?
3) What really is the use of an on-chip lcd controller that some of these arm9s have if every tft lcd is so different in terms of pinouts..etc from one to the next? Do I really even need an lcd controller on-chip to drive a tft?4) Can you suggest any tft lcds where the manufacturer does not pull a vanishing act with its product (out of production) every now and then? What is a good place to buy tft LCDs?
5) I notice there are embedded boards which can boot windows CE or linux. How exactly does the board manufacturer get the lcd to display the output onto the screen? Does he have to use a specific Lcd that is supported by say linux (which has a driver available)? I'm a bit unclear about the process. If I wanted to use Atmel's SAM9 series, how would i integrate an LCD to display the command line of linux onto there or the gui of windows ce?Thank you for your answers
