Help with mcf51 tower and spi display

Hi guys,
I could really use some help from you guys.
So I have this freescal tower board mcf51 http://cache.nxp.com/files/32bit/doc/data_sheet/MCF51MM256.pdf?pspll=1 and want to use an spi display with it to output some user interface and system information.
There aren't many resources showing what displays are compatible with this board, so I need some help to see if the following display will work with it.
The display im interested in is this one https://www.adafruit.com/products/1770
Im new to this, so please be patient with me.
Now I know that my board does have an SPI communication, but what im worried about is the display library. Will that display work with it with no problems? Or would It need a custom library to be able to use it?

Thank you.

Hi,

Frankly I am not quite sure if the display you mentioned will work with the MCF51MM256, the main reason is the library. We do not provide the library as you concerned. Anyway, we have an application note that explains how to design a low-level TFT-LCD driver for mini-FlexBus or SPI connections with MCF51MM. You may find more guideline on hwo to do http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/app_note/AN4153.pdf
