At 640*480*50Hz it's about 12 MHz pixel rate. Hackaday says it looks doable= .. 800 X 600 VGA WITH THE STM32F4 by: Brian Benchoff January 4, 2015 hackaday.com/2015/01/04/800-x-600-vga-with-the-stm32f4 The project is educational, we can combine 4 horizontal pixels, reducing the rate to 3MHz. And we could shift from 100MHz STM32F411 to 180MHz STM32F446 Nucleo board, which is even cheaper here, Theoretically, later we could (as they say in "evil empire") refactor it into 3 or 4 loosely coupled, coarse grained tire design. - 1st tire: Analog front-end with digital output through optics; - 2nd and 3d tires: logic and human input; - 4th: monitor with stm32 based VGA driver to just display, say, 1000 points per channel. > If you get tired of mbed or want a full dev and debug package I heartily recommend Atollic TrueStudio. The free edition is very nice. Easy to install and they have lots of videos and papers on their website. Also STMCubeMX is good for getting your clocks and peripherals set up. I use the standalone version but they also have a plugin for TrueStudio. >>> Agreed on STMCubeMX. Regarding the toolchain, I started SW4STM32 System Workbench by ST for STM32 already. Still, Atollic TrueStudio looks to be a great option too. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
