Hello, i am working on STM32F429 controlling 800x480 AMOLED panel. It works, but now i have to make pcb for it.
Original setup use SDRAM as frame buffer IS42S16400J -7

But performance because of not that powerful processor is a bit weak. Can i impruve it by changing frame buffer ? Original idea is o use SRAM at 10ns access time, but will it be faster ?. Or, maybe i can do even better, if yes, how ?

SRAM if you need fast random access without cache.

Is there any dual interface memory, so one can be toward the microcontroller and the other toward the display, driven by a address generator?

Other option: Drive the display output with DMA?

Does the display need constant refresh at high speed? or can it be done frame by frame?

No external video controller IC's you can use?

STM32F429 has LTDC as well as FSMC controller. that means that signal generation for AMOLED is done in hardware, and does not use cortex m4 for that .
AMOLED use normal RGB I/F (5R6G5B+VSYNC+HSYNC+ENABLE+SPI)

About external controller, i really don't know will it be faster than integrated LTDC controller on STM32F429 , it will do same thing
