Reference Sample ROM
|
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
It is provided a ROM with a reference application, and the corresponding
|
| 38 |
|
|
Z80 source codes.
|
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
|
|
To use the application you will need to connect the S3E board to a
|
| 41 |
|
|
VGA monitor and PS/2 keyboard.
|
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
The program will show how to use:
|
| 44 |
|
|
Input push buttons
|
| 45 |
|
|
Input Switches
|
| 46 |
|
|
PS/2 keyboard
|
| 47 |
|
|
Video text out (memory mapped and port mapped)

|
Redefinition of characters
|
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
The program starts waiting for keys to be typed in the keyboard.
|
| 54 |
|
|
The characters are shown on the 40x30 video (VGA).
|
| 55 |
|
|
If "A" is pressed, then the program starts another routine,
|
| 56 |
|
|
that will write bytes into RAM. After 255 bytes are written,
|
| 57 |
|
|
the bytes are read sequencially and the byte read displayed in the leds (binary format).
|
| 58 |
|
|
When finished, waits for KEY0 (East on S3E board) and then restart again.
|
| 59 |
|
|
|
| 60 |
|
|
The switches (4-0) are used as input to calculate delays. Try
|
| 61 |
|
|
changing these switches to speed up ou slow down the leds and the LCD text rotation speed.
|
| 62 |
|
|
When you change these switches, it will only take effect after a Z80 reset (press the Knob button).
|
| 63 |
|
|
|
| 64 |
|
|
The Rotary knob can be used at any time to rotate the text in the LCD to the left or to the right.
|
| 65 |
|
|
|
| 66 |
|
|
The looping text inside the box demonstrates how to access the video ram.
|
| 67 |
|
|
To change speed of scrolling, use the switches (SW).
|
| 68 |
|
|
|
| 69 |
|
|
To reset the Z80, press the Knob Button (rotary).
|
| 70 |
|
|
|
| 71 |
|
|
To modify the screen layout (rows x columns), edit the file z80soc_pack.vhd and find the constants:
|
| 72 |
|
|
- vid_cols = number of columns (maximum is 80)
|
| 73 |
|
|
- vid_lines = number of lines (maximum is 60)
|
| 74 |
|
|
- pixelsxchar = 1 every character will be plotted using 8x8 pixels
|
| 75 |
|
|
- pixelsxchar = 2 every character will be plotter using 16x16 pixels
|
| 76 |
|
|
|
| 77 |
|
|
The column x lines total must not be over 3200, because this is the capacity defined for the video ram.
|
| 78 |
|
|
The characters can be redefined. Every character must have 8 bytes (8 x 8 bits).
|
| 79 |
|

|
Hope you enjoy.
