FT800
#####
Overview
********
This sample displays a hello message and an incrementing counter using FT800
Embedded Video Engine.
Requirements
************
To use this sample, the following hardware is required:
* A board with SPI support
* Display with `FT800 EVE`_ like `VM800C board`_
Wiring
******
You will need to connect the `FT800 EVE`_ SPI interface onto a board that
supports Arduino shields.
Building and Running
********************
This sample should work on any board that has SPI enabled and has an Arduino
shield interface. For example, it can be run on the nRF52840-DK board as
described below:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/misc/ft800
:board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
:goals: flash
:compact:
To build the sample for `VM800C board`_ the shield must be defined as described
below:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/misc/ft800
:board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
:shield: ftdi_vm800c
:goals: flash
