Sample app for the hd44780u LCD driver on tiva C

[simias]

Some sample code for the HD44780U driver that got merged a while back. It creates pretty huge binaries too (12304B for my last build).

Can you elaborate about sizes of each component used (chario, hd) ?

@0xc0170: sizes? As in std::mem::size_of?

The LCD driver implements a very rough CharIO trait by displaying chars at the current pointer position, wherever that is. That means that if the text goes outside of the screen it won't be displayed (no \n insertion). I didn't bother making it more complicated than that because given the small amount of displayable characters (16x2 at most) you'll probably have to implement a custom drawing function if you have a lot of text to display anyway.

As for the size of the binary I'm not entirely sure where the bloat comes from.

LGTM, I'll look into binary sizes.
