Is there any way to connect to LCD display modules through SPI as can for example be done with the Rapberry Pi through the use of https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki. I would also like to use one with touch capabilities. I know that there are already capes with touch screens on but they are far more expensive than the LCD module that I want to use. The capes also seem to use a parallel connection instead of an SPI one which will of course give a better refresh rate but take up a lot of pins and I do not really need a fast refresh rate, just the pins.

UPDATE: I should be able to manage without the pins used by the capes and I was thinking about using the http://za.rs-online.com/web/p/lcd-colour-displays/7812992/ module, would this be possible with any OS for the Beaglebone, I don't mind using Debian or Ubuntu, I would actually like to use Ubuntu considering the nice gui.
