TuyaOpen TDL Display

Driver Registration (TDD)

Decide by adaptation, not by whether the SDK has the driver:

• Board-adapted display (listed in board-context.md) → board_register_hardware() registers it; write no TDD code.
• Externally-attached display (the user wired it themselves — NOT in board-context.md) → register it yourself in usr_board (see usr-board/SKILL.md), reusing the SDK's per-IC driver below. board_register_hardware() does not wire a display it never adapted.

The TDD header depends on the Driver IC (the device model in .tuyaopen/ide/board.json):

Interface	Driver IC examples	Header
SPI	GC9A01, ST7789, ST7305, ILI9341	tdd_disp_gc9a01.h, tdd_disp_st7789.h …
RGB	ST7701S, GC9503	tdd_display_rgb.h
MCU8080	GC9307	tdd_display_mcu8080.h

SPI display example (values from .tuyaopen/ide/board.json):

#include "tdd_disp_st7789.h"   // match header to Driver IC

static OPERATE_RET __usr_register_display(void)
{
    TDD_DISP_SPI_CFG_T display_cfg = {
        .cfg = {
            .width     = 240,                       // Resolution: 240×240
            .height    = 240,
            .pixel_fmt = TUYA_PIXEL_FMT_RGB565,     // PixelFormat: RGB565
            .port      = TUYA_SPI_NUM_0,            // Interface: SPI (port 0)
            .spi_clk   = 48000000,                  // Config: clk=48000000
            .cs_pin    = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_15,          // Pins: cs=GPIO15
            .dc_pin    = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_17,          // Pins: dc=GPIO17
            .rst_pin   = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_6,           // Pins: rst=GPIO6
        },
        .bl = {
            .type              = TUYA_DISP_BL_TP_GPIO,
            .gpio.pin          = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_5,   // Pins: bl=GPIO5
            .gpio.active_level = TUYA_GPIO_LEVEL_HIGH,
        },
        .rotation = TUYA_DISPLAY_ROTATION_0,
    };
    return tdd_disp_spi_st7789_register(DISPLAY_NAME, &display_cfg);
}

New display IC with no SDK driver (still in usr_board)

When the IC has no SDK driver, all interface types support two approaches (both still done inside usr_board/):

• Override: new IC is similar to an existing driver — call set_init_seq() to replace the default init sequence, then use the IC-specific register() as usual
• Generic driver: use the base interface driver with a fully custom config and init sequence

SPI

/* Override existing IC (e.g. ST7789 variant with different init registers) */
#include "tdd_disp_st7789.h"
tdd_disp_spi_st7789_set_init_seq(sg_my_init_seq);   // then call tdd_disp_spi_st7789_register()

/* Generic SPI driver — IC not similar to any existing driver */
#include "tdd_display_spi.h"   // see header for init_seq byte format

static const uint8_t sg_my_init_seq[] = { /* IC datasheet register init */ };

TDD_DISP_SPI_CFG_T cfg = {
    .cfg = { /* width, height, pixel_fmt, port, spi_clk, cs/dc/rst pins */ },
    .bl       = { .type = TUYA_DISP_BL_TP_GPIO, .gpio = { .pin = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_5, .active_level = TUYA_GPIO_LEVEL_HIGH } },
    .init_seq = sg_my_init_seq,
    .rotation = TUYA_DISPLAY_ROTATION_0,
};
tdd_disp_spi_device_register(DISPLAY_NAME, &cfg);

MCU8080

Same pattern. init_seq is const uint32_t * (32-bit packed format — see tdd_display_mcu8080.h):

/* Override existing IC */
#include "tdd_display_mcu8080_st7789.h"
tdd_disp_mcu8080_st7789_set_init_seq(sg_my_init_seq);

/* Generic MCU8080 driver */
#include "tdd_display_mcu8080.h"

static const uint32_t sg_my_init_seq[] = { /* see tdd_display_mcu8080.h for format */ };

TDD_DISP_MCU8080_CFG_T cfg = {
    .cfg      = { /* TUYA_8080_BASE_CFG_T */ },
    .bl       = { ... },
    .init_seq = sg_my_init_seq,
    .cmd_caset = 0x2A, .cmd_raset = 0x2B, .cmd_ramwr = 0x2C,
};
tdd_disp_mcu8080_device_register(DISPLAY_NAME, &cfg);

QSPI

Same pattern as SPI. init_seq is const uint8_t *:

/* Override existing IC */
#include "tdd_display_qspi_co5300.h"
tdd_disp_qspi_co5300_set_init_seq(sg_my_init_seq);

/* Generic QSPI driver */
#include "tdd_display_qspi.h"

static const uint8_t sg_my_init_seq[] = { /* see tdd_display_qspi.h for format */ };

TDD_DISP_QSPI_CFG_T cfg = {
    .cfg      = { /* DISP_QSPI_BASE_CFG_T with refresh method and pixel cmd */ },
    .bl       = { ... },
    .init_seq = sg_my_init_seq,
};
tdd_disp_qspi_device_register(DISPLAY_NAME, &cfg);

RGB

RGB differs: config takes an init_cb function pointer instead of a byte array. The callback drives a software SPI to send the IC's register init sequence before the RGB signal starts:

#include "tdd_display_rgb.h"
#include "tdd_disp_sw_spi.h"

/* Override existing IC */
tdd_disp_rgb_st7701s_set_init_seq(sg_my_init_seq);

/* Generic RGB driver with custom init callback */
static TDD_DISP_SW_SPI_CFG_T sg_sw_spi = {
    .spi_clk = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_X,   // Pins: clk=GPIOX
    .spi_sda = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_X,   // Pins: sda=GPIOX
    .spi_csx = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_X,   // Pins: cs=GPIOX
    .spi_dc  = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_X,
    .spi_rst = TUYA_GPIO_NUM_X,
};

static const uint8_t sg_my_init_seq[] = { /* software SPI init bytes */ };

static OPERATE_RET __my_ic_init_cb(void)
{
    tdd_disp_sw_spi_init(&sg_sw_spi);
    tdd_disp_sw_spi_lcd_init_seq(&sg_sw_spi, sg_my_init_seq);
    return OPRT_OK;
}

TDD_DISP_RGB_CFG_T cfg = {
    .cfg     = { /* TUYA_RGB_BASE_CFG_T */ },
    .bl      = { ... },
    .init_cb = __my_ic_init_cb,
};
tdd_disp_rgb_device_register(DISPLAY_NAME, &cfg);

I2C and Other Buses

For I2C OLEDs compatible with SSD1306, use tdd_disp_i2c_oled_ssd1306_register() directly.

For other buses (I2C with different IC, UART, custom parallel, etc.), create tdd_disp_<ic>.h/.c and implement the three TDD_DISP_INTFS_T callbacks:

#include "tdl_display_driver.h"

static OPERATE_RET __my_disp_open(TDD_DISP_DEV_HANDLE_T dev)
{
    /* initialize bus, send IC init sequence */
    return OPRT_OK;
}

static OPERATE_RET __my_disp_flush(TDD_DISP_DEV_HANDLE_T dev, TDL_DISP_FRAME_BUFF_T *fb)
{
    /* write fb->frame (fb->len bytes) to display over custom bus */
    return OPRT_OK;
}

static OPERATE_RET __my_disp_close(TDD_DISP_DEV_HANDLE_T dev)
{
    return OPRT_OK;
}

static TDD_DISP_INTFS_T sg_intfs = {
    .open  = __my_disp_open,
    .flush = __my_disp_flush,
    .close = __my_disp_close,
};

static OPERATE_RET __usr_register_display(void)
{
    TDD_DISP_DEV_INFO_T info = {
        .width    = 128,
        .height   = 64,
        .fmt      = TUYA_PIXEL_FMT_MONO,
        .rotation = TUYA_DISPLAY_ROTATION_0,
    };
    return tdl_disp_device_register(DISPLAY_NAME, NULL, &sg_intfs, &info);
}

tdl_disp_dev_open(hdl)	Open device and init backlight
tdl_disp_dev_get_info(hdl, &info)	Get width, height, pixel format, rotation
tdl_disp_set_brightness(hdl, 0-100)	Set backlight brightness
tdl_disp_create_frame_buff(type, len)	Allocate framebuffer (DISP_FB_RAM_SRAM or DISP_FB_RAM_PSRAM)
tdl_disp_dev_flush(hdl, fb)	Push framebuffer content to screen
tdl_disp_free_frame_buff(fb)	Free framebuffer
tdl_disp_dev_close(hdl)	Close device

Enable Macro and NAME Macro

CONFIG_ENABLE_DISPLAY=y        # enables display and defines DISPLAY_NAME
CONFIG_DISPLAY_NAME="display"  # device name (default "display")

DISPLAY_NAME is used to look up the device: tdl_disp_find_dev(DISPLAY_NAME).

Only use DISPLAY_NAME_2 when the user explicitly needs two independent displays at the same time (e.g. selecting a dual-eye group where left/right screens must be controlled separately). For a single display — which is the common case — use only DISPLAY_NAME.

Note on LVGL

LVGL is a UI framework that runs on top of this display driver. To use LVGL, the display driver must be registered first; LVGL binds to it via lv_vendor_init(DISPLAY_NAME).
