   @TA1DB We are doing some serious work trying to improve the state of the 
documentation around getting started.   So I would love to help get you going 
and maybe we can build that out a bit better.
   
   This is actually why I am trying to build out complete support for this 
"featherwing"  right now 
https://www.tindie.com/products/arturo182/keyboard-featherwing-qwerty-keyboard-26-lcd/
 which could then provide a lot of support for playing with NuttX on some of 
the lower cost platforms with touch screen keyboard etc...
   
   The **stm32f746g-discovery** looks like an interesting board with the 
integrated LCD and network support.  I just checked about ordering on, but it 
looks like everyone is out of stock until late November so I am not sure how 
much help I would be able to provide.
   
   The **stm32f429i-disco** is a rather old board and should be fairly well 
supported although some board support code may have aged.  I do have one of the 
original ones and would be happy to help get you started with it and could 
verify that some of the existing configuration are working correctly.  What 
configuration specifically did you try with it?  I would start with 
`stm32f429i-disc:nsh` and then since you were interested in the display 
`stm32f429i-disc:lvgl`.  There are some notes on that here:
   
   **boards/arm/stm32/stm32f429i-disco/README.txt**:
   ```
     lgvl:

       STM32F429I-DISCO LittlevGL demo example.
   
       The ltdc is initialized during boot up.  Interaction with NSH is via
       the serial console at 115200 8N1 baud.  From the nsh command line
       execute the lvgldemo example:
   
         nsh> lvgldemo
   
       The test will execute the calibration process and then run the
       LittlevGL demo project.
   ```
   
   I think going forward we were thinking about doing some focused tutorials on 
the STM32 Nucleo-144 platform which I personally have the H745 and F767 
variants.  Note that these do not have displays but do have Ethernet.  
Connecting and SPI based ILI9341 TFT display via SPI is fairly well supported 
and I just verified it with the featherwing I mentioned.
   
   
   Happy to help you get going on this and try to improve the documentation at 
the same time.
