+ * This is basically an Hitachi HD44780 LCD with a custom IP block to drive it
+ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD44780_Character_LCD
+ * Currently it will just display the text "ARM Linux" and the linux version

Any chance to sync your efforts with lcd-linux project (http://lcd-linux.sourceforge.net/) ?
They seems to have a support for HD44780 LCD controller. Mattia, project maintainer is on CC copy.

Best regards,
Ivan Kuten
