# STM32_DisplayLink
Connecting USB-VGA adapter to STM32
This is an example how to connect VGA display to STM32 using cheap DisplayLink adapter.
DisplayLink is a kind of USB video card with internal framebuffer RAM,
so you can connect such adapter to the USB HOST of your MCU and get a big display for your STM32.
See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcdXBnMFIVg
Only USB 2.0 version of adapters is supported in code.
Of course, your STM32 will need to have USB HOST hardware. STM32 MCUs have only Full-Speed internal USB, so data transfer rate is limited ~1 Mbyte/s.
For updating VGA screen with 640x480 resolution you will need to send ~0.6 MByte of data, which means that FPS will be very low.
DiplayLink adapter supports RLE data coding, which can be helpful to increase FPS.
All code is written for STM32F4-Discovery (MB997B), HAL is used here. Notice that newer PCB revisions have other accelerometer model.
Only one resolution is supported: 640x480, if you need another you need to change (XRES, YRES) defines and take another configuration
array data from here: https://github.com/floe/tubecable/blob/master/doc/dldemo.c instead of "dl_register_init_640x480".
There are two projects in this repo: BasicTestSrc and LVGL_Src.
One is simple drawing static image and another is displaying GUI using LVGL.
See more information about those projects in their Readme files.
You can set USBH_DEBUG_LEVEL define in "usbh_conf.h" to 3U value to get USB debug information (using Semihosting in IDE).
Tested only with 0x17E9 & 0x024B device.
