1 Introduction The Matrix Orbital EVE lineup utilizes FTDI’s second generation Embedded Video Engine to control, render, manage and display complex graphics on a full color TFT touch screen. By taking advantage of the 1 megabyte of graphics RAM, motion-JPEG encoded AVI videos can be played back in both portrait and landscape mode. Data can be displayed through a set of widgets such as gauges, spinners, sliders, and bar graphs.
Figure 2: EVE 2 Embedded Video Engine More details regarding the EVE2 hardware specs can be found in the FTDI FT81x Datasheet, available online. An FTDI EVE2 programming guide, titled “FT81x Series Programming Guide”, is also available and can be downloaded at FTDI/Bridgetek’s website http://www.brtchip.com/ft81x...
3.1 Communication Header Pinout The 20 pin FFC header on the EVE2 TFT Module is used to interface with an SPI controller, and is compatible with a number of 20 pin ribbon cables. Any 20 pin FFC cable with a 0.5mm pitch and bottom contacts, such as the Wurth Electronics INC 687620050002 series ribbon cable will be compatible with the EVE2 module.
5.2 SPI and QSPI communication The EVE2 TFT Module is capable of communicating to hosts and microcontrollers through a quad serial parallel interface (QSPI). Only SPI mode 0 is supported. The QSPI slave interface can operate up to 30MHZ, and can be configured in SINGLE, DUAL or QUAD channel modes.
For SPI memory write transactions, a ‘1’ bit and ‘0’ bit is sent by the host, followed by the 22-bit address. The write data follows. Table 6: SPI Memory write transaction Address [21:16] Write Address [15:8] Address Address [7:0] Dummy byte Byte 0 Read Address Byte n EVE2 TFT Module...
