Hey everyone... back again .. im lost here. I get a DDRC error on this code..

http://www.nuelectronics.com/estore/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=19

Im trying to use that code for a LCD i have just to see if it works... but i get the below error:

TFT_lib\TFT_ILI9325.cpp: In static member function 'static void LCD::init(uint8_t)':

TFT_lib\TFT_ILI9325.cpp:204: error: 'DDRC' was not declared in this scope"

Can someone please help me out... i have no clue with arduinos

Hey AtomSoft,

I can explain this one, the AVR8 is based on the AtMega103 which is slightly different then the AtMega8/168/328 that the Arduino is based on. If you look at the AtMega103 datasheet you will see that PORTC is output only instead of bi-directional. For the Arduino chips PORTC is bi-directional, so the problem is that by default PORTC is not like the Arduino's PORTC.

But since this is an FPGA we can easily fix that, in the VHDL source code I hijacked a couple registers so we could make PORTC bi-directional. So the hardware supports PORTC being bi-directional, but the problem you are seeing is that I haven't updated the Arduino codebase with the defines for PORTC and PINC. You can do this for yourself by adding the following to your code:

#define DDRC _SFR_IO8(0x14)

#define PINC _SFR_IO8(0x13)

The best solution is for me to get these two lines of code into the modifications I've made to the Arduino IDE and make a new release. But I also want to upgrade to the latest version of the Arduino IDE too so I keep thinking I'm going to put aside some time and do all of the above.

Jack.

Ill be sure to bother you here :) thanks...

Also.. im about to test it on another LCD i have here... I have no clue if it will work or not... but im bored at the moment... Also i might be switching to Verilog...  since most of the examples i see are written in it... even tho i can read both languages it would save me time from converting from one to the other.
