From 30f787b93a8487ae2a09ac757fdf3f8af65ecb18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Cheney Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 15:55:42 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] examples/parallel/tufty: add Displayer, faster bus, animated demo Implement SetPixel and Display on ST7789 backed by a fixed [320*240*2]byte framebuffer in .bss (~154KB, ~58% of RP2040 SRAM). The buffer is stored high-byte-first so it streams straight to the panel (RAMCTRL=0xC0, big-endian) via Tx8 with no per-frame byte swap. Add a compile-time assertion that ST7789 satisfies the local Displayer interface, whose signatures match tinygo.org/x/drivers.Displayer so downstream code can substitute that interface trivially without adding the dependency here. Expose the PIO bus rate as a top-level busBaud constant. The PIO program is three instructions long, so the state machine clock runs at 3 * busBaud. The ST7789 8080-II parallel interface has a 66ns minimum write cycle (~15.15 MHz); run at 15 MHz, verified visually clean on Tufty 2040 hardware. Replace the solid blue fill in main() with a cycling animated demo: bouncing rectangles, a Mandelbrot fractal zoom (fixed-point Q6.26), and a sin-LUT plasma. Each demo reports measured FPS over UART. Measured on Tufty 2040 at 15 MHz: bouncing rects ~40 FPS (bus-saturated full-frame transfer), plasma ~14 FPS, mandelbrot ~0.8 FPS. --- rp2-pio/examples/parallel/tufty/st7789.go | 38 ++- rp2-pio/examples/parallel/tufty/tufty.go | 308 ++++++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 263 insertions(+), 83 deletions(-) diff --git a/rp2-pio/examples/parallel/tufty/st7789.go b/rp2-pio/examples/parallel/tufty/st7789.go index 0ac3eb3..1a2514a 100644 --- a/rp2-pio/examples/parallel/tufty/st7789.go +++ b/rp2-pio/examples/parallel/tufty/st7789.go @@ -24,6 +24,11 @@ type ST7789 struct { height uint16 rotation Rotation + // Framebuffer of RGB565 pixels laid out row-major with each pixel + // stored high-byte-first, so it can be streamed straight to the panel + // (RAMCTRL=0xC0, big-endian pixel data) with no byte-swap on send. + fb []byte + //Copied stuff from the TinyGo Drivers implementation buf [6]byte } @@ -161,13 +166,40 @@ func (st *ST7789) Size() (w, h int16) { return int16(st.width), int16(st.height) } +// SetPixel writes a single RGB565 pixel into the framebuffer.
