A step-by-step walkthrough of connecting an STM32 H7 microcontroller to an LCD display using the Flexible Memory Controller (FMC) and a parallel 8080-style interface. Covers hardware schematic design with a Waveshare 3.2" ILI9341-based display, pin mapping in STM32CubeIDE, FMC timing calculations based on the ILI9341 datasheet and ST application note AN2790, memory address mapping quirks specific to the STM32H743, and integrating an open-source ILI9341 driver. Also demonstrates backlight PWM control, display orientation, and rendering solid colors and images as a baseline before adding higher-level graphics libraries like LVGL.
