Dual flash SS 8-bit Parallel + Zynq 7000

Всем привет! Я хочу поделиться с вами, какоднажды мне пришлось оживлять вторую флешку на микроконтроллере (далее «мк»), ну кому не нравится, то назовем это «программируемая система на кристалле». Наверное кто только зашел сюда и хочет более подробно разобраться и все понять, то вам сюда, так как я планирую все подробно рассказать от А до Я. В данной статье будут подняты такие вопросы: 1. Инициализация QSPI (кто не знает, специальная периферия, позволяющая работать с флешкой на прямую). 2. Инициализация flash. Написание драйвера . Проделав все пункты, которые будут затронуты в данной статье, вам станет более понятно как и что работает.

Is there anyone in the room with knowledge about #ESP32 microcontrollers?

I am playing with a #Waveshare development board that has an #AMOLED and a touchscreen, and it says it has built-in #SH8601 display driver and #FT3168 capacitive touch chip, using #QSPI and #I2C communication respectively.

https://www.waveshare.com/product/arduino/boards-kits/esp32-s3-touch-amoled-1.8.htm

It directly works in #Arduino with #C, but I am trying to make it work with #MicroPython.

Before I spend effort trying to compile it with #LVGL, I want to know if I could print a "Hello World" to the screen as is, and while my mind tells me that I need a driver, the sentence "built-in display driver using QSPI" makes me think that I could eventually use the display without code drivers, but I don't know how.

I'd love to see an example, if it's possible, or to be pointed to any resources that I can read in this regard. I am complete newbie.

Re-posts are appreciated.

Thank in advance 😊

So. Geht. Das.

A Smart Light Bulb Running Doom is a Pretty Bright Idea

A light bulb might seem like an unlikely platform for gaming, but we're living in the future now, so anything is possible. And with enough know-how, it turns out that an RGB light bulb can indeed be modified to run Doom.

That's not to say that the Ikea TRÅDFRI light bulb is the only thing [Nicola Wrachien] needed to accomplish the hack. But the bulb, specifically this addressable GU10 RGB LEB bulb, donated the most critical component, a Silicon Labs MGM210L wireless microcontroller, with enough processing power to run vanilla Doom. Added to the microcontroller was a TFT display, a controller made from a handful of buttons and a shift register, and a few odds and ends to stitch it all together. Some more memory was needed, though, so [Nicola] used an 8 MB QSPI flash memory and a couple of neat tricks to reduce latency and improve bandwidth. There are a lot of neat tricks with this one, but the coolest thing might just be that the whole footprint of the build isn't that much bigger than the original bulb. Check out the surprisingly smooth gameplay in the video below.

This is a nice addition to the seemingly neverending "Will it Doom?" series. We've seen the classic game ported to everything from a GPS to a kitchen "bump bar" computer and even to an oscilloscope.
