Snowy Screen/FPGA Communication

Two Commandsets:

PDISPLAY_CMD_SET_0:

This is used by the boot loader and has cmd IDs that tell the FPGA to display pre-canned images.

  • Commands:

  • PSDISPLAYCMD0_NULL = 0

  • PSDISPLAYCMD0_SET_PARAMETER = 1

  • PSDISPLAYCMD0_DISPLAY_OFF = 2

  • PSDISPLAYCMD0_DISPLAY_ON = 3

  • PSDISPLAYCMD0_DRAW_SCENE = 4

  • Scene numbers put into cmd_parameter and used by the PSDISPLAYCMD0_DRAW_SCENE command:

  • PSDISPLAYSCENE_BLACK = 0

  • PSDISPLAYSCENE_SPLASH = 1 // splash screen

  • PSDISPLAYSCENE_UPDATE = 2 // firmware update

  • PSDISPLAYSCENE_ERROR = 3 // display error code

PDISPLAY_CMD_SET_1:

The display expects complete frames to be sent through the SPI bus, one column at a time starting from the left-most column, each column sent from bottom to top. The bits and bytes in each column are scrambled however and need to be unscrambled before placing them into the framebuffer.

  • Commands for PSDISPLAY_CMD_SET_1. We accept these while in the PSDISPLAYSTATE_ACCEPTING_CMD state. These are implemented in the firmware

  • PSDISPLAYCMD1_FRAME_BEGIN = 5

  • 8 Bits MSB first:

  • 2 bits unused (00)

  • 2 bits red

  • 2 bits green

  • 2 bits blue

Additional IO Pins

  • INTN interrupt:
  • display done (de-assert=true)
  • DONE interrupt:
  • asserted (=false) on reset
  • sclk
  • ?? (not used in qemu)

How To Dump FPGA Code

  • Download Pebble qemu source code
  • Open hw/display/pebble_snowy_display.c
  • Edit the prog_header array to be at least 33000 byte big
  • Add the following lines to the ps_display_determine_command_set method:
FILE *myfile = fopen("/tmp/fpga.bin", "w");
fwrite(s->prog_header, sizeof(uint8_t), s->prog_byte_offset, myfile);
fclose(myfile);
  • Run the Pebble emulator
  • Profit
