Hello everybody,
I'm student from Poland, and I need help very quickly, I must use display from Nintendo DS in my final project on university, I need pinout and description of communication with the microcontroler, or full datasheet for this display.
I'm grateful to everyone for help.

I saw this one, but informations about display in this place are very poor. I need something MORE.
Thank you.

I must use ONLY screen without other hardware form NDS, it will be connect to external ARM processor, but NOT form Nintendo DS.

this guy was able to read the display data from a gba. he says nintendo labeled all the pins on the board. you're gonna have to do all of the work yourself, as nobody has used a ds screen by itself. you'll need to take apart the ds and figure it out. you'll need at least 15 i/o pins to transfer color data, plus maybe 3 more for sync and clock. maybe a few shift registers could cut down your i/o to say 6 pins if they're fast enough.

I think that ARM is enough fast (about 60Mhz) to send information on this LCD, end have a lot of I/O ports, probably I will be use external memory. Unfortunetly, I cannot use nothing more from NDS, only LCD display. I know this is big trouble, but I study IT for 5 year, and when I will be have this datasheet for LCD I can do this. I do something similar on (Hosiden HLM 8619 with AVR '8515). Sorry for my English. Please HELP!!!

I remember everything is labeled on the PCB. The signals are digital with pixelclock, and the timing (i've heard but not sure) is the same as NTSC.
Might help.
