Fruit Jam 1280x720 v0.1
First public release of the 1280×720 60 Hz HDMI patch for the Adafruit Fruit Jam (RP2350B), built on CircuitPython 10.1.4.
What's in this release
- Native 1280×720 @ 60 Hz HDMI output through the existing
picodvi.FramebufferAPI - Decoupled clock approach: PLL_SYS at 372 MHz, clk_sys stays at PLL_SYS/3 (~124 MHz, default-safe), clk_hstx at PLL_SYS/1 (372 MHz)
- Verified stable for 60+ s under sustained DMA at 372 MHz HSTX
- Supported color depths at native 1280×720: 1, 2, 4 bpp
- Supported color depths via 640×360 ×2 doubled: 8, 16, 32 bpp
Use case
Built to make the Fruit Jam a clean source for HDMI capture cards and multi-stream mixers (ATEM Mini, Magewell, Elgato HD60, OBS HDMI, etc.) where 480p sources are often rejected — useful for documentation, presentations, and live streaming embedded UIs.
How to install
- Download
firmware.uf2from this release. - Put the Fruit Jam in BOOTSEL mode (hold BOOT, tap RESET, release BOOT).
- Drag
firmware.uf2onto theRP2350mass-storage drive that appears. - The board will reboot into the patched CircuitPython.
How to use it
```python
import board, picodvi
fb = picodvi.Framebuffer(
1280, 720,
clk_dp=board.CKP, clk_dn=board.CKN,
red_dp=board.D0P, red_dn=board.D0N,
green_dp=board.D1P, green_dn=board.D1N,
blue_dp=board.D2P, blue_dn=board.D2N,
color_depth=2,
)
```
Pin mapping matches `adafruit_fruitjam.peripherals` — red on D0, blue on D2 (not the other way around).
See `FRUIT_JAM_HSTX_720P.md` for full documentation, supported color-depth combinations, build instructions, and known limitations.
