FRAME BUFFER START ADDRESS 1 REGISTER
Register Address R/W Description Reset Value
LCDSADDR1 0X4D000014 R/W
STN/TFT: Frame buffer start address 1 register
0x00000000
LCDSADDR1 Bit Description Initial State
LCDBANK [29:21] These bits indicate A[30:22] of the bank location for the video buffer
in the system memory. LCDBANK value cannot be changed even
when moving the view port. LCD frame buffer should be within
aligned 4MB region, which ensures that LCDBANK value will not be
changed when moving the view port. So, care should be taken to use
the malloc() function.
0x00
LCDBASEU [20:0] For dual-scan LCD : These bits indicate A[21:1] of the start address
of the upper address counter, which is for the upper frame memory
of dual scan LCD or the frame memory of single scan LCD.
For single-scan LCD : These bits indicate A[21:1] of the start
address of the LCD frame buffer.
0x000000
FRAME Buffer Start Address 2 Register
Register Address R/W Description Reset Value
LCDSADDR2 0X4D000018 R/W
STN/TFT: Frame buffer start address 2 register
0x00000000
LCDSADDR2 Bit Description Initial State
LCDBASEL [20:0] For dual-scan LCD: These bits indicate A[21:1] of the start address
of the lower address counter, which is used for the lower frame
memory of dual scan LCD.
For single scan LCD: These bits indicate A[21:1] of the end address
of the LCD frame buffer.
LCDBASEL = ((the frame end address) >>1) + 1
= LCDBASEU +
(PAGEWIDTH+OFFSIZE) x (LINEVAL+1)
0x0000
Note
Users can change the LCDBASEU and LCDBASEL values for scrolling while the LCD controller is turned on.
But, users must not change the value of the LCDBASEU and LCDBASEL registers at the end of FRAME by referring to the
LINECNT field in LCDCON1 register, for the LCD FIFO fetches the next frame data prior to the change in the
frame.
So, if you change the frame, the pre-fetched FIFO data will be obsolete and LCD controller will display an incorrect screen. To
check the LINECNT, interrupts should be masked. If any interrupt is executed just after reading LINECNT, the read LINECNT
value may be obsolete because of the execution time of Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
