Arduino LCD is based on ILI 9163 LCD display chip. It also includes a SC Card reader (not the target of this issue though).

After investigation, it seems that Arduino LCD is based on ST7735, not ILI9163 chip.
As a matter of fact, both chips are very similar, I would say ST7735 is a " functional subset" of ILI9163:

  • reduced number of supported resolutions
  • maybe other differences (I did not have time to compare both datasheets in details)

Since I only own an official Arduino LCD, FastArduino support will be on ST7735 only as I won't be able to check it on ILI9163.
