FTDI FT800 EVE Board

I have just recived a new Embedded Video Engine Credit Card Board (VM800C), which was kindly supplied to us here at Premier EDA Solutions by FTDI.

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. The VM800C utilises the FTDI FT800 Embedded Video Engine and can access the graphic, audio and touch features of the FT800.
Below are a few of the VM800C's features: 

  • Ready to use LCD module 
  • Part types with LCDs supporting resistive touch with pressure sensing. 
  • On board LCD backlight LED Driver 
  • Supports mono audio output 
  • On board audio power amplifier and micro speaker 
I've managed to download some sample projects from FTDI's website and tweak a couple of things. Today was mostly about trying to familiarize myself with how to use the board, having a look through the programmers manual and having a general play. Below are a few images of the board in action and a link to where you can find more information about the EVE board.
