Hi Lewin,

Thanks for the quick response.

Do you mean the pointer to the lcd base address? It is set to 0xc0000000.

That is exactly what I did. I initialized the LCD and then I wrote a byte to
the display buffer. Result: HANG. I even tried to write to the display
buffer before doing the LCD init and still HANG. Could you send me your init
routine so that I can compare it with mine.

Thanks...
