FTDI VM800C Embedded Video Engine Board #######################################

Overview

The VM800C is a development module for FTDI’s FT800, which is used to develop and demonstrate the functionality of the FT800 Embedded Video Engine, EVE. This module behaves as an SPI slave, and requires a SPI Master for proper microcontroller interfacing and system integration.

Requirements

This shield requires a board which provides a configuration that allows an SPI interface and an interrupt signal. (see :ref:shields for more details).

Sample usage

You can try use FT800 with the Zephyr FT800 sample, which provides out-of-the-box configuration for FT800 Embedded Video engine. See :zephyr:code-sample:ft800 sample for details.

Build and Programming

Set --shield <shield designator> when you invoke west build.
