Re: [ECOS] LCD on EP7211

Hi Wilson,

The function below is all you should need to turn on the LCD controller. 
For the Alps display, you should define:

#define EP_LCD_WIDTH 640
#define EP_LCD_HEIGHT 240

Also make sure that LCD support was enabled in your eCos config before you 
built the library. I'm not sure what happens if it's not, but I suspect the 
memory allocation for the frame buffer will be screwed, which could easily 
explain why writing to that area hangs the system! Possibly c0000000 
mirrors 00000000 under that case, which means you've just trashed the 
vector table. Nasty :)
