@par Example Description
How to configure the DMA2D peripheral for memory-to-memory operation with
blending transfer and alpha inversion modes.
At the beginning of the main program the HAL_Init() function is called to reset
all the peripherals, initialize the Flash interface and the systick.
Then the SystemClock_Config() function is used to configure the system
clock (SYSCLK) to run at 200 MHz.
In this transfer mode two input sources are fetched : foreground and background.
In this example, the foreground and background are configured as following :
- Foreground object
- input memory address at FLASH memory (static image arrays coded in FLASH).
- Format : RGB565
- Size : 240x130
- Background object
- input memory address at FLASH memory (static image arrays coded in FLASH).
- Format : RGB565
- Size : 240x130
- The constant alpha for foreground is decreased to see the background.
- The alpha mode for foreground and background is configured to see two
superposed images in the resulting image out of the ChromArt DMA2D operation.
- The Foreground alpha inversion is set sequentially to regular then inverted to demonstrate
this new DMA2D feature capability.
The DMA2D blends the two sources pixels buffers stored into the FLASH to compute
the resulting pixel in dedicated output buffer.
The transferred data to the output memory address is the result of the blending operation
between background and foreground (with Foreground alpha inversion set to regular and inverted).
Next step in the pixel pipeline is the use of the LTDC to display the result blending image.
The example acts as follow :
In an infinite while loop
- Use the DMA2D to blend the two sources images.
- If the foreground alpha inversion is disabled (set to DMA2D_REGULAR_ALPHA) :
- Copy the blended image to the LTDC display frame buffer with the following message :
<20>Display Blended Image: Foreground Alpha Inversion OFF<46>
- If the foreground alpha inversion is enabled (set to DMA2D_INVERTED_ALPHA) :
- Copy the blended image to the LTDC display frame buffer with the following message :
<20>Display Blended Image: Foreground Alpha Inversion ON<4F>
- Change the alpha inversion setting, wait for 5 sec and go to the next loop.
As consequence user can see the result blending image with foreground alpha inversion enabled and disabled.
STM32769I-DISCOVERY board's LEDs can be used to monitor the transfer status:
- LED2 is ON when the DMA2D transfer is complete.
- LED1 toggles every when there is a DMA2D transfer error.
- LED1 is ON when there is an error in LTDC transfer/Init process.
@note Care must be taken when using HAL_Delay(), this function provides accurate delay (in milliseconds)
based on variable incremented in SysTick ISR. This implies that if HAL_Delay() is called from
a peripheral ISR process, then the SysTick interrupt must have higher priority (numerically lower)
than the peripheral interrupt. Otherwise the caller ISR process will be blocked.
To change the SysTick interrupt priority you have to use HAL_NVIC_SetPriority() function.
@note The application need to ensure that the SysTick time base is always set to 1 millisecond
to have correct HAL operation.
@note The STM32F7xx devices can reach a maximum clock frequency of 216MHz but as this example uses SDRAM,
the system clock is limited to 200MHz. Indeed proper functioning of the SDRAM is only guaranteed
at a maximum system clock frequency of 200MHz.
@note The example shows how to use the DMA2D blending with alpha inversion set on the foreground layer.
Nevertheless the same parameter can be applied on the background DMA2D layer depending of the user
application requirements.
