Course Description

In this course, you learn the embedded graphics systems and programming part of it along with using  LVGL  for creating UI applications.

In the first part of the course, you will learn,

1. Basics of embedded graphics systems

2. how to interface an LCD-TFT display to the microcontroller board.

3. How to use the LTDC  peripheral of the STM32 microcontroller,

4. How to communicate between the microcontroller and the TFT display using MIPI DPI and MIPI DBI

5. Bare metal programming

In this part you are going to write all the code, completely from scratch, that is using register-level programming.

In  the second part, you will learn,

1. Introduction to  LVGL ( an open-source graphics library for microcontrollers)

2. Using LVGL in STM32 projects

3. LVGL widgets and their usage, APIs

4. Create UI application using LVGL

5. Testing LVGL application on PC simulator and different STM32 development boards

6. Student project

In this course I will show you how you can create an embedded graphics application for 3 different boards simultaneously

you can either use the STM32F429 Discovery board or STM32F74x Discovery board or you can use any STM32 board with external TFT LCD interfaced via the SPI interface.

Please read the course description carefully and you may also watch free preview videos before enrolling in this course.


Hardware requirements:

If you want to test the code developed for target hardware, you would need any one of the below-mentioned board

For more information please watch the preview videos above.

1. 32F429IDISCOVERY Discovery kit with STM32F429ZI MCU  (Explained in the course)

6. USB logic analyzer (Optional )

7. Jumper wires if you are using hardware option 4 or 5

Note: LVGL applications can be tested on a PC simulator without the need for any target hardware.


Software requirements:

STM32CUBEIDE

I have done several of these courses. Giving feedback is a problem, so this relates to all. These are good courses if undertaking independent learning, and robust in following along and getting repeatable results. Well formulated lesson plan, clearly presented.

By Wegi on 6/17/2025

Absolutely brilliant. Especially love comprehensive explanation all of used peripherals like LTDC and so on. And love bare metal which author did fro DISCO-F429i project.

By 김진수 on 1/26/2025

It was really great time with your lecture. And, finally, I can start my new TFT-LCD project now, Thanks. I want to make a request to you. I would like you to upload some files to your lecture file repository. Now, it has been a long time since You started this lecture. So, it was very difficult to find files related to the version of LVGL used in your lecture. Please upload the same version of the LVGL project file and the LVGL simulator project to your class repository, so that the students who take the course will be able to take this course more comfortably.

By Nico Busuioc on 12/30/2024

Yes, indeed, the author skipped over a lot of details while explaining concepts and then directly presented the code. However, the most important part — how it works — was explained very well. I have no idea where else I could find such valuable information. Once you understand how it works, it becomes quite frustrating to waste time in the course on writing and explaining every single line of code.

By Anonymized User on 11/19/2024

Well done, very detailed explanations! I like the idea, that not all code works straight away, and thus provides the opportunity for a way to show how to debug a certain problem!

By Isaac Osiemo on 5/22/2024

A 4.5 star from me, not typical however for my board the STM32F07 it felt like the information was add on not there, I would have wanted a deeper dive into building the display driver and getting LVGL going on this board in particular. The rest of the course is nice! Stellar even!

By Ajith Peter on 11/22/2023

These lectures are really good. The approach of first providing a detailed look at the process through register level programming sets the right context for the later developments in the course. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in understanding the basics of Graphics LCD Interface on the STM32 Platforms...

By Ivan Keene on 4/29/2023

Great course with clear explanations of ins and outs of display implementation in microcontrollers. LVGL part has been quite interesting with useful libraries to implement GUI. Seems like a course in itself and will definitely require further learning.

By Ako on 2/12/2023

I think this course is definitely worth taking. However i would of loved to get some more detailed information about LVGL. It is very overwhelming first time. You need to know when to call which function. Lot's of information definitely in LVGL documentation, but very overwhelming.

By Arun Sharma on 11/2/2022

Thank You very much, from the last so many years I wanted to get started with this topic, unfortunately, due to time and other factors I am not able to get started. With this course, I get a very good starting point on this topic, this 8-hour basic course has given me a very good starting point. Also the instructor is very fast in responding all questions.
