5-6 General Controller Block
1.5 Keypad and Display Block
The LCD display module and keypad interfaces communicates directly to the host processor on the
main board. To communicate and control the display driver, four control lines run between the main
board and the display board. The LCD is reset from host processor through UART type connection.
The keypad interfaces communicate to host processor by using a Row/Column resistor ladder
through GPIOs.
