Re: Driving an 8-bit parallel 8080 bus using I2S

I was using modified code of this example https://github.com/bitluni/ESP32Lib/blob/93b087411af3b12e997f8d28ae34ed76d9c8803f/src/I2S/I2S.cpp But I must check again with 16 and 24bit lcds. I would also check out reference manual how to set I2S properly I read the TRM extensively. As I mentioned here ...

Re: Driving an 8-bit parallel 8080 bus using I2S

Well I had no problems with I2S at 40Mhz which was max clock for ledc. However you can source-clock it with APLL clock which according to specs ranges from 16-128Mhz. I noticed that with high frequencies you must supply very stable 5V/3.3V voltage and good (2A) current for the clock source to be ac...

Re: Driving an 8-bit parallel 8080 bus using I2S

Clock limit for I2S should be in theory 80Mhz. The camera itself uses 20MHz so maybe you are doing something incorrectly. It shouldn't be a problem even for 800x600 but it depends what refresh speeds you need Output and input behave differently. It's not even the case that the output is garbled: th...

Re: Driving an 8-bit parallel 8080 bus using I2S

I actually found the speed to be lacking. The clock is topping at circa 18MHz for parallel I2S and it's definitely not enough for a large display with 8 bits per channel. And I need the extra pins, so going 16 bit is a no-go. QSPI and a small FPGA is my next bet and I'm experimenting with the iCE40.

No one ????
As mentioned, you may find working parameters for your display here: https://github.com/espressif/esp-iot-solution/issues/19

A logic analyser helps a lot. Good luck!

Re: Driving an 8-bit parallel 8080 bus using I2S

Evening,

The remaining elephant in the room is how to drive the bus bidirectionally. Right now we can do either writes or reads; @espressif_staff, is there a way to use the I2S peripheral for the general purpose of a bidirectional parallel bus?

Re: Driving an 8-bit parallel 8080 bus using I2S

Hi,

You might be able to find working parameters in the Github issue. Or, wait for IDF 4.0 it seems!

Driving an 8-bit parallel 8080 bus using I2S

I'd like to first excuse myself for the undertones of frustration throughout this post, but I ran out of steam. This is supposed to be a simple question with plenty of references between the "har-in-air" Github repo (based upon @ESP_igrr code I reckon), the "pixelmatix" repo (which shares the same "...
