Overview
The AHB TFT LCD Controller is a configurable core that interfaces to an AHB microprocessor bus and provides all the timing control and pixel serialization for controlling various TFT LCD Display Panels. The core can also be used with various RAMDACs to interface to VGA Monitors or VGA style LCD Panels.
The AHB TFT LCD Controller supports 24-bit true color and 16-bit color, as well as an 8-bit color display mode via the 256 Pixel Palette Ram. A 24-bit true color multiplex mode is also supported in which 3 8-bit sub-pixels are time-multiplexed (R, G, B) on an 8-bit output. Pixel clock generation, Sync Control and Display Enable controls are fully programmable and can be used with a wide range of system clock rates.
The LCD data interface contains 8-bit Red, 8-bit Green, and 8-bit Blue for a total of 24bits. The LCD data interface will work with 6-bit RGB panels as well.
Interrupt sources timed to hsync, vsync and control signals are programmable and selectable to signal the processor to update display information.
The AHB TFT LCD supports an asynchronous clock input (lcdClk) as a timebase for pixel operations.

The whys and hows of secure boot
With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which now span just about every walk of life, from smart cities to wireless jewellery, the need to prioritize security in IoT-style embedded systems has never been greater. The secure boot process is a vital first step in securing any embedded system, a necessary part of your application’s anti-malware fortress. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons, with a focus on one of the most popular processors in electronics – the i.MX6.
Motion Picture: a Reality on Emulation Platform
In present day’s situation, whenever we are in the phase of designing a cluster SoC, we have no reliable way of verifying our design in real case scenarios, or showcase the possibilities of our design through any demos. This, sometimes, paves way for critical design bugs which requires re-spins/cuts.
Sequential clock gating maximizes power savings at IP level
In this paper we talk about design exploration using the PowerPro tool. For analysis of power optimization based on this tool, we have included Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and cluster IPs with high speed processing requirements. These IPs have multiple complex operation requirements within a clock period, making them ideal candidates for power saving. The IPs under consideration are image processors, high-speed bus fabrics for a memory controller, display controllers, and video codecs.
