1 Introduction
This design example demonstrates an interactive clock using lines, points, and Jpeg decode plus
audio playback on an FT800 platform.
In the FT_clock application, a swiss-clock graphic with major and minor segments and three clock
hands is the desired graphic. Further alternatives for the back-ground for the clock face will be
shown (plain gradient face or a face generated from a jpeg image in the case where memory
storage is readily available).The clock time can be adjusted by touching the minutes hand and
using rotary movements. FT clock is an application that demonstrates the use of FT800 graphical
primitives to construct a more complex image. This application utilizes all the features of the
FT800 i.e. touch, audio and display. Note that this clock is distinct in nature and not the clock
widget that is available in the FT800 widget library. In the FT Clock, three processes, audio
playback, image decoding and display list construction are handled. Loading of image and audio,
along with the construction of the display list will be as follow:
Image uploading : Via the CMD FIFO by Load image command
Display list : directly in DL RAM
Audio play : via SPI to GRAM
1.1 Overview
The document will provide information on the image creation, tagging of audio and touch
capabilities, and the structure of displays lists. Further, the application note will outline the general
steps of the design flow, including display list creation, and integrating the display list with the
system host micro-controller.
This document should be read in conjunction with the source code which can be found in section 4
or at:

2 Display Requirements
This section describes some of the key components of the design.
2.1 Wall Background image
In the FT Clock application, the wall background is a JPEG image. There are 10 JPEG images
(bgimg0.jpg – bgimg9.jpg) which may be loaded as the application cycles round. The actual clock
is overlaid to the coordinates and size matching the clock in the JPEG.
To change the background displayed touch the display in the background area. Two bitmap
handles are used to assist swapping the images.
2.2 Clock face
The clock face (skin) is generated with FT800 primitives such as LINES and FTPOINTS as opposed
to the clock widget, allowing for customised hands such as those on a Swiss clock to be generated.
The face can be changed by tapping on the clock. This will change the colour of the face
background and the hands.
2.3 Date and time
Time in the application is initialised to System time from the host controller. The date, month and
year can be adjusted by touching the date display. Adjustment in date, month and year can be
done only for the first two skins.
Time adjustment can be done using the tracker for the hour needle and the minute needle is
adjusted accordingly. As the tracker is synced with System time, the second hand movement
changes accordingly.
2.4 Audio for changing hour
In this application, the time change per hour is indicated by the recorded voice message. When
the time changes past the hour, the recorded voice message reports the hour displayed. The audio
files are uLAW encoded from a PC application such as aud_cvt from the FTDI utilities web page.
There are 12 files (1.ULW – 12.ULW) – one for each hour.

Design Flow
Every EVE design follows the same basic principles as highlighted in Figure 3.1.
The active list and the edited list which are continually swapped to update the display.Select and
configure your host port for controlling the FT800 then wake the device before configuring the
display. The creative part then revolves around the generation of the display list. There will be
two lists. The active list and the updated/next list are continually swapped to render the display.
Note, header files map the pseudo code of the design file of the display list to the FT800
instruction set, which is sent as the data of the SPI (or I²C) packet (typically <1KB). As a result,
with EVE’s object oriented approach, the FT800 is operating as an SPI peripheral while providing
full display, audio, and touch capabilities.

4 Description of the Functional Blocks
4.1 System Initialisation
Configuration of the SPI master port is unique to each controller – different registers etc, but all
will require data to be sent Most Significant Bit (MSB) first with a little endian format.
The function labelled Ft_BootupConfig in this project is generic to all applications and will start by
toggling the FT800 PD# pin to perform a power cycle.
/* Do a power cycle for safer side */
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Powercycle(phost,FT_TRUE);
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Rd16(phost,RAM_G);
/* Set the clk to external clock */
Ft_Gpu_HostCommand(phost,FT_GPU_EXTERNAL_OSC);
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Sleep(10);
/* Switch PLL output to 48MHz */
Ft_Gpu_HostCommand(phost,FT_GPU_PLL_48M);
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Sleep(10);
/* Do a core reset for safer side */
Ft_Gpu_HostCommand(phost,FT_GPU_CORE_RESET);
/* Access address 0 to wake up the FT800 */
Ft_Gpu_HostCommand(phost,FT_GPU_ACTIVE_M);
The internal PLL is then given a prompt by setting the clock register and PLL to 48 MHz.
Note 36MHz is possible but will have a knock on effect for the display timing parameters.
A software reset of the core is performed followed by a dummy read to address 0 to complete the
wake up sequence.
The FT800 GPIO lines are also controlled by writing to registers:
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr8(phost, REG_GPIO_DIR,0x80 | Ft_Gpu_Hal_Rd8(phost,REG_GPIO_DIR));
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr8(phost, REG_GPIO,0x080 | Ft_Gpu_Hal_Rd8(phost,REG_GPIO));
And these allow the display to be enabled.
To confirm the FT800 is awake and ready to start accepting display list information the identity
register is read in a loop until it reports back 0x7C. I will always be 0x7C if everything is awake
and functioning correctly.
ft_uint8_t chipid;
//Read Register ID to check if FT800 is ready.
chipid = Ft_Gpu_Hal_Rd8(phost, REG_ID);
while(chipid != 0x7C)
chipid = Ft_Gpu_Hal_Rd8(phost, REG_ID);
Once the FT800 is awake the display may be configured through 13 register writes according to its
resolution. Resolution and timing data should be available in the display datasheet.

LCD
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr16(phost, REG_HSIZE, FT_DispWidth);
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr16(phost, REG_VSIZE, FT_DispHeight);
To complete the configuration the touch controller should also be calibrated
/* Touch configuration - configure the resistance value to 1200 - this value is
specific to customer requirement and derived by experiment */
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr16(phost, REG_TOUCH_RZTHRESH,1200);
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr8(phost, REG_GPIO_DIR,0xff);
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr8(phost, REG_GPIO,0x0ff);
An optional step is present in this code to clear the screen so that no artefacts from bootup are
displayed.
/*It is optional to clear the screen here*/
Ft_Gpu_Hal_WrMem(phost, RAM_DL,(ft_uint8_t
*)FT_DLCODE_BOOTUP,sizeof(FT_DLCODE_BOOTUP));
Ft_Gpu_Hal_Wr8(phost, REG_DLSWAP,DLSWAP_FRAME);
4.2 Info()
This is a largely informational section of code and it starts by synchronising the physical xy
coordinates of the displays touch layer with the displays visual layer.
A display list is started and cleared:
Ft_Gpu_CoCmd_Dlstart(phost);
Ft_App_WrCoCmd_Buffer(phost,CLEAR(1,1,1));
Ft_App_WrCoCmd_Buffer(phost,COLOR_RGB(255,255,255));
A text instruction is printed on the display followed by the call to the internal calibrate function:
Ft_Gpu_CoCmd_Text(phost,FT_DispWidth/2,FT_DispHeight/2,26,OPT_CENTERX|OPT_CENTERY,"
Please tap on a dot");
Ft_Gpu_CoCmd_Calibrate(phost,0);
The display list is then terminated and swapped to allow the changes to take effect.
Ft_App_WrCoCmd_Buffer(phost,DISPLAY());
Ft_Gpu_CoCmd_Swap(phost);
Ft_App_Flush_Co_Buffer(phost);
Ft_Gpu_Hal_WaitCmdfifo_empty(phost);
Next up in the Info() function is the FTDI logo playback:

4.3 Memory Loading
The onboard graphics RAM is used to store the JPEG data and the audio data.
The file is copied from the PC (MPSSE version) or the SD card if present.
e.g. for the audio files, the function Load_afile is called with an address in the 256k Graphics RAM
to be written to.
void Load_afile(ft_uint32_t add, FILE *afile,ft_uint8_t noofsectors)
{
ft_uint8_t tbuff[512],z;
ft_uint16_t temp_add = 0;
for(z=0;z<noofsectors;z++)
{
fread(tbuff,1,512,afile);
temp_add = (add+(512L*z))&AUDIO_RAM_SPACE;
Ft_Gpu_Hal_WrMem(phost,temp_add,tbuff,512L);
}
4.4 Initial Clock Screen Setup
Compute the gradient background and load the image (SD card is present) to the GRAM via J1 and
set the bitmap properties Image and the gradient.
This section of code defines the clock face and hands colour in a structure called clk_prp.
// Intial settings
r = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+0]);
g = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+1]);
b = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+2]);
bgrgb = ((ft_uint32_t)r<<16) | ((ft_uint32_t)g<<8) | ((ft_uint32_t)b<<0);
r = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+4]);
g = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+5]);
b = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+6]) ;
minrgb = ((ft_uint32_t)r<<16) | ((ft_uint32_t)g<<8) | ((ft_uint32_t)b<<0);
r = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+8]);
g = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+9]);
b = ft_pgm_read_byte(&clk_prp[(clkbgindex*12)+10]) ;
secrgb = ((ft_uint32_t)r<<16) | ((ft_uint32_t)g<<8) | ((ft_uint32_t)b<<0);
Where to draw the image and the time to display is then coded.
