TEV-LB2

The TEV-LB2 board carries a 176x220 AMPIRE AM176220 TFT panel. This panel is based on a HIMAX HX8309 controller. There is also a control line for panel's backlight. The image displayed on the panel is not visible unless the backlight is turned on.

Related datasheets, as well as the schematic diagram for the TEV-LB2 board can be found on Tibbo website.

io.num=PL_IO_NUM_44
io.enabled=YES

io.num=PL_IO_NUM_43
io.enabled=YES

io.num=PL_IO_NUM_42
io.enabled=YES

io.num=PL_IO_NUM_41

io.num=PL_IO_NUM_40
io.enabled=YES

lcd.width=176
lcd.height=220
lcd.rotated=NO
