Ported the glcd lib to the Epson based Nokia LCDs. I tried to leave the code portable so that you can switch between the Epson and the Philips controller via a #define switch.
Actually i only changed the lowlevel hw access and init functions to deal with the Epson controller. Currently native screen rotation is implemented but i didn’t work on the hardware scrolling stuff. May i’ll do this later.

Got my Nokia 6100 LCD working. Long story of failures. First try was a LCD with a Epson controller from ebay for 10 Euros. But somehow someone failed to solder the smd socket proberly and it went a way 
( thx max ) .
Next try was a Epson based LCD including a header board from sparkfun . But this time i wasn’t able to run some demo code which was made for the LPC2138 on my LPC2148. I think the board was to fast to talk to the display. I wasn’t able set up SPI on the LPC2148 correct. Need more investigation on that topic.
So i gave up at this point and decided to go for a atmega16. I did a devel board for that which is losy based on this schematics. The boads uses simple parport icsp and has a serial line for debugging and sending data.
Finally i threw some code together using the init commands found in this project. Added support for receiving images via uart and wrote an little python client for sending images.
Future plans are to port the glcd lib to the epson based lcd.

Not me? Just did some more or less useful stuff with my STK-500 dev boad. I took 64 leds and formed a 8×8 matrix out of them, solderd them onto 2 layers of ciruit boards. The leds are connected to 2 8Bit IO-Busses of an Atmel AT90S8515. I use one bus to select a row and the other bus to write on byte into a led-row. since iam changing the rows very quick, you won’t see an flicker. actually it’s 100hz refresh rate.
Then i a wrote a litte library in C using AVR-GCC to access the matrix like an framebuffer. Also funny stuff like scroll text is included in that lib. On top of this a wrote some code to interface the Atmel to PC’s serial port. That incoming data from the SIO get’s displayed on the led matrix. So that an echo “\xFF” > /dev/ttyS0 on the linux box will light up one row of the led matrix.
Last but not least i took a XMMS template plugin. Reworte it so the level output of the vu-meter is cutted down to 8 values. These values get sent to the PC’s serial interface.that’s it.
