Abstract
This report introduces the LCD module on the March, 7th 2014
TMS320C5515 eZDSPTM USB Stick Development
Tool. It also outlines basic steps to configure and
use the module to display a desired running text.

Introduction
The LCD module in the TMS320C5515 eZDSPTM USB Stick Development Tool isMarch, 7th 2014
a 96×16
monochrome OLED display screen. LCD can be a very useful part in any microcontroller
based project. It helps to monitor variables and program status with simple texts or
numbers.
TMS320C5515 eZdsp™ USB Stick Development Tool’s LCD module
To learn how to use the OLED, we refer to the existing sample codes in the lcd-osd9616
project. The modifications are mainly done in the oled_test.c source code. Additional
3 information about how to configure the LCD module is got from the SSD1306.pdf Labacquired
2 report
from this link: www.adafruit.com/datasheets/SSD1306.pdf . This driver allows us to:
- Set contrast control.

- Turn on the display.
- Set normal/ inverse display.
- Using various scrolling modes.
- Set indexes for different addressing modes.
- Further hardware configurations ( display start line, segment re-map, etc).
- Set timing and driving scheme ( Clock, Pre-charge Period, etc).
Personal settings are shown in the Source codes section.

Display a character on the OLED
Our OLED has 96x16 pixels (96 columns x 16 rows) which can demonstrate 2 rows of texts( 96x8
pixels for each row). Based on the existing oled_test.c file, we can design our own characters.
March, 7th 2014
To show a character, the OLED need 5x8 pixels. However, since we need spaces between adjacent
characters and rows, only 4x7 pixels are available for designing. An 8-bit hexadecimal number is
used to expressed an 8-bit column. Due to former conventional programming (can be re-defined),
the hex codes are counted from the most left to most right column.
For example, if we want to display a “1” on the OLED ( as being shown below) , the required hex
codes is {0x40, 0x7F, 0x42, 0x00}
start from here
Bit 0
Bit 1
Bit 2
Bit 3
Bit 4
4 Bit 5 Lab 2 report
Bit 6
Bit 7 left blank
left blank
To print out a certain character, we use the subroutine printLetter in the oled_test.c file:
Int16 printLetter(Uint16 l1,Uint16 l2,Uint16 l3,Uint16 l4)

{
OSD9616_send(0x40,l1);
OSD9616_send(0x40,0x00);
return 0;
}
As we can see, the subroutine automatically prints additional 1x8 pixels ( a blank column ), so we do
not need to care about the fifth blank column.
In this LAB, because the space available for each letter is limited, some characters are not properly
sketched. However, it is just an aesthetic matter. We can still recognize the desired letters.

5 Lab 2 report
Display a running text on the OLED
Based on above technics, we designed various letters to make the required text:
th
- March, 7272014
“Chương Trình Đào Tạo Quốc Tế – Lớp Tiên Tiến CT11 – Group 2 – Thursday Feb,
2014” on the 1st row.
- “Department of Electrical – Electronics Engineering – Ho Chi Minh City University of
Technology – Engineering Education” on the 2nd row.
Using the same method as being shown in the sample codes, we can make the text scroll
vertically or horizontally. The vertical scroll is fine, the full texts could be shown. However,
due to the limitation of memory, we only have 128 columns each page ( we have 8 pages in
total), and we cannot display the full text with horizontal scroll.
Therefore, we tried a different method to display the full text. We only used 1 pages ( page
0) with no scrolling effect. We displayed a short piece of text( which fits 96 columns),
delayed 1 second, then displayed the next piece of text and repeat the sequence until the
full texts are shown. Here are the steps:
1. Initialize page 0.
6 2. Print a short text on the OLED. Lab 2 report
3. Print additional 30 blanks to ensure the remaining screen space is filled.
4. Delay 1 second.
5. Reinitalize page 0.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until the required texts are finished.
Using this method, the texts are not really “running”. They just apear in turn. We tried a
different method to to this task ( which is presented later in the Conclusion section).
However, due to the lack of time, we did not manage to complete the idea. Therefore, only
the complete codes are shown in this report.
Source codes
In this source code, for convenience, we print each letter from left to right. Compare to the
sample code, there are 2 difference: th
March, 7 2014
1. The printLetter subroutine is modified so that it prints from left to right.
2. Segment re-map is set from 0 to 95: OSD9616_send(0x00,0xa0);
3. Scrolling settings are neglected.
Note: actually, the modification of printLetter is not necessary. Instead, we can reverse
all the hex codes we have made. However, this step requires much more efforts to do. Also,
we keep the old hex codes to easily compare the work with our friends.
The the oled_test.c is modified as follows:
#include"usbstk5515.h"
#include"usbstk5515_i2c.h"
#include"usbstk5515_gpio.h"

Conclusion
In this lab experiment session, we succeeded to get the sample codes run onMarch, 7th 2014
the OLED. We
also succeeded to design and display the required texts on the OLED.
However, we could not let the full texts have the perfect “running” effect. Instead, they
only appeared in turn( we can make the “running” effect this way by letting the texts
change one letter each time. However, this seems inefficicent since the codes would be too
long and hard to be kept up with).
Based on the above idea, we tried another method which theoretically can display any
length of text with ease. We notice the use of the code line [ OSD9616_send(0x40,L1);] in
the printLetter subroutine and use it show the whole text. We know that L1 is the hex
code of a column. Therefore, we set up an array of our whole text whose each letter is
presented by 5 consecutive hex codes. For example, if we want to display the text “Data”
on the OLED, our array is defined as:
Uint16 myText[] =
{
16 0x3E,0x41,0x41,0x7F,0x00, //D Lab 2 report
0x7c,0x4a,0x4a,0x30,0x00, //a
0x08,0x7c,0x08,0x00,0x00, //t
0x7c,0x4a,0x4a,0x30,0x00, //a
};
The array has 4 elements. In the oled_text subroutine, we run the text by using the
following “for” loop:
int string_length = 4;
int i,j;
for (j=0;;j++)
{
if (j == string_length) j=0;
for(i = j;i <= j + string_length - 1 ; i++)
{
OSD9616_send(0x40, myText[i%string_length]);
}
}
Finally, we can make the text run( no delay is required since we saw that the OLED already
needed an enough-to-be-seen period to display the whole text on the screen). Athough we
did not finish this experiment, this method seems better because the the codes are easier
to use and modify for future purposes.
