1 Introduction
This document captures programming details of FT800 series chips including graphics
commands, widget commands and configurations to control FT800 series chips for
smooth and vibrant screen effects.
The FT800 series chips are graphics controllers with add-on features such as audio
playback and touch capabilities. They consist of a rich set of graphics objects (primitive
and widgets) that can be used for displaying various menus and screen shots for a range
of products including home appliances, toys, industrial machinery, home automation,
elevators, and many more.
1.1 Overview
This document will be useful to understand the command set and demonstrate the ease
of usage in the examples given for each specific instruction. In addition, it also covers
various power modes, audio, and touch features as well as their usage.
Information on pin settings, hardware model and hardware configuration can be found in
the
FT800 data sheet (DS_FT800_Embedded_Video_Engine) or FT801 datasheet
(DS_FT801).
1.2 Scope
This document is targeted for software programmers and system designers to develop
graphical user interface (GUI) applications on any system processor with either an SPI or
I2C master port.
1.3 API reference definitions
Functionality and nomenclature of the APIs used in this document.
wr8() – write 8 bits to intended address location
wr16() – write 16 bits to intended address location
wr32() – write 32 bits to intended address location
wr8s() – write 8 bits string to intended address location
rd8() – read 8 bits from intended address location
rd16() – read 16 bits from intended address location
rd32() – read 32 bits from intended address location
rd8s() – read 8 bits string from intended address location

2 Programming Model
The FT800 appears to the host MCU as a memory-mapped SPI or I2C device. The host
communicates with the FT800 using Read or Write to 8MB address space.
Within this document, endianness of DL commands, co-processor engine commands,
register values read/write, input RGB bitmap data and ADPCM input data are in ‘Little
Endian’ format.
2.1 General Software architecture
The software architecture can be broadly classified into layers such as custom
applications, graphics/GUI manager, video manger, audio manager, drivers etc. FT800
higher level graphics engine commands and co-processor engine widget commands are
part of the graphics/GUI manager. Control & data paths of video and audio are part of
video manager and audio manager. Communication between graphics/GUI manager and
the hardware is via the SPI or I2C driver.
Typically the display screen shot is constructed by the custom application based on the
framework exposed by the graphics/GUI manager.

2.2 Display configuration and initialization
To configure the display, load the timing control registers with values for the particular
display. These registers control horizontal timing:






REG_PCLK
REG_PCLK_POL
REG_HCYCLE
REG_HOFFSET
REG_HSIZE
REG_HSYNC0
REG_HSYNC1
These registers control vertical timing:

REG_VOFFSET
REG_VSIZE
REG_VSYNC0
REG_VSYNC1
And the REG_CSPREAD register changes color clock timing to reduce system noise.
GPIO bit 7 is used for the display enable pin of the LCD module. By setting the direction
of the GPIO bit to out direction, the display can be enabled by writing value of 1 into
GPIO bit 7 or the display can be disabled by writing a value of 0 into GPIO bit 7. By
default GPIO bit 7 direction is output and the value is 0.
Note: Refer to FT800 data sheet for information on display register set.
2.2.1 Horizontal timing
Figure 2: Horizontal Timing
REG_PCLK controls the frequency of PCLK. The register specifies a divisor for the main
48 MHz clock, so a value of 4 gives a 12 MHz PCLK. If REG_PCLK is zero, then all display
output is suspended. REG_PCLK_POL controls the polarity of PCLK. Zero means that
display data is clocked out on the rising edge of PCLK. One means data is clocked on the
falling edge.
The total number of PCLKs in a horizontal line is REG_HCYCLE. Within this horizontal line
are the scanned out pixels, REG_HSIZE in total. They start after REG_HOFFSET cycles.
Signal DE is high while pixels are being scanned out.
Horizontal sync timing on signal HSYNC is controlled by REG_HSYNC0 and REG_HSYNC1.
They specify the time at which HSYNC falls and rises respectively.

2.2.2 Vertical timing
Figure 3: Vertical Timing
Vertical timing is specified in number of lines. The total number of lines in a frame is
REG_VCYCLE. There are REG_VSIZE rows of pixels in total. They start after
REG_VOFFSET cycles.
Vertical sync timing on signal VSYNC is controlled by REG_VSYNC0 and REG_VSYNC1.
They specify the lines at which VSYNC falls and rises respectively.
2.2.3 Signals updating timing control
With REG_CSPREAD disabled, all color signals are updated at the same time:
Figure 4: Pixel clocking with no CSPREAD
But with REG_CSPREAD enabled, the color signal timings are adjusted slightly so that
fewer signals change simultaneously:

2.2.4 Timing example: 480x272 at 60Hz
For a display updating at 60Hz, there are 48000000/60= 800000 fast clocks per frame.
Setting the PCLK divisor REG_PCLK to 5 gives a PCLK frequency of 9.6 MHz and
800000/5= 160000PCLKs per frame.
For a 480 x 272 display, the typical horizontal period is 525 clocks, and vertical period is
286 lines. A little searching shows that a 548 x 292 size gives a period of 160016 clocks,
very close to the target. So with a REG_HCYCLE=548 and REG_VCYCLE=292 the display
frequency is almost exactly 60Hz. The other register settings can be set directly from the
display panel datasheet.

5. Write first display list
6. Write REG_DLSWAP, FT800 swaps display list immediately
7. Enable back light control for display
8. Write REG_PCLK, video output begins with the first display list
9. Use MCU SPI clock not more than 30MHz
MCU_SPI_CLK_Freq(<11MHz);//use the MCU SPI clock less than 11MHz

3. Execute ”Initialization Sequence during the Boot UP” from steps 1 to 9
 Initialization Sequence from Sleep Mode:
1. Send Host command “ACTIVE” to enable clock to FT800
2. Wait for at least 20ms
3. Execute “Initialization Sequence during Boot Up” from steps 5 to 8
 Initialization sequence from standby mode:
Execute all the steps mentioned in “Initialization Sequence from Sleep Mode”
except waiting for at least 20ms in step 2.
Note: Refer to FT800 data sheet for information on power modes. Follow section 2.3 for
audio management during power down and reset operations.
2.3 Sound Synthesizer
Sample code to play C8 on the xylophone:
wr8(REG_VOL_SOUND,0xFF); //set the volume to maximum
wr16(REG_SOUND, (0x6C<< 8) | 0x41); // C8 MIDI note on xylophone
wr8(REG_PLAY, 1); // play the sound
Code snippet 2 sound synthesizer play C8 on the xylophone
Sample code to check the status of sound play:
Sound_status = rd8(REG_PLAY);//1-play is going on, 0-play has finished
Code snippet 3 sound synthesizer check the status of sound playing
Sample code to stop sound play:
wr16(REG_SOUND,0x0);//configure silence as sound to be played
wr8(REG_PLAY,1);//play sound
Sound_status = rd8(REG_PLAY);//1-play is going on, 0-play has finished
Code snippet 4 sound synthesizer stop playing sound
To avoid an audio pop sound on reset or power state change, trigger a "mute" sound,
and wait for it to complete (completion of sound play is when REG_PLAY contains a value
of 0). This sets the output value to 0 level. On reboot, the audio engine plays back the
"unmute" sound to drive the output to the half way level.
Note: Refer to FT800 data sheet for more information on sound synthesizer and audio
playback.
2.4 Audio playback
FT800 supports three types of audio format: 4 Bit IMA ADPCM, 8 Bit signed PCM, 8 Bit uLaw. For IMA ADPCM format, please note the byte order: within one byte, first sample
(4 bits) shall locate from bit 0 to bit 3, while the second sample (4 bits) shall locate from
bit 4 to bit 7.

For the audio data in FT800 RAM to play, FT800 requires the start address in
REG_PLAYBACK_START to be 64 bit (8 Bytes) aligned. In addition, the length of audio
data specified by REG_PLAYBACK_LENGTH is required to be 64 bit (8 Bytes) aligned.
To learn how to play back the audio data, please check the sample code below:

The display list always starts at address RAM_DL
The address always increments by 4(bytes) as each command is 32 bit width.
Command CLEAR is recommended to be used before any other drawing
operation, in order to put FT800 graphics engine in a known state.
The end of the display list is always flagged with the command DISPLAY
2.5.2 Coordinate Plane
The figure below illustrates the graphics coordinate plane and its visible area.
The valid X and Y coordinate ranges from -1024 to 1023 in pixel precision, i.e., from
-16384 to 16383 in 1/16th pixel precision.

2.5.3 Drawing pattern
The general pattern for drawing is:



BEGIN with one of the primitive types
Input one or more vertices, which specify the placement of the primitive on
the screen
END to mark the end of the primitive
(note: In many examples the END command is not explicitly listed)
The primitive types that the graphics engine support are:






BITMAPS - rectangular pixel arrays, in various color formats
POINTS - anti-aliased points, point radius is 1-256 pixels
LINES - anti-aliased lines, with width from 0 to 4095 1/16th of pixel units.
(width is from center of the line to boundary)
LINE_STRIP - anti-aliased lines, connected head-to-tail
RECTS - round-cornered rectangles, curvature of the corners can be adjusted
using LINE_WIDTH.
EDGE_STRIP_A/B/L/R - edge strips
Examples
Draw points with varying radius from 5 pixels to 13 pixels with different colors:
dl( COLOR_RGB(128, 0, 0) );
dl( POINT_SIZE(5 * 16) );
dl( BEGIN(POINTS) );
dl( VERTEX2F(30 * 16,17 * 16) );
dl( COLOR_RGB(0, 128, 0) );
dl( POINT_SIZE(8 * 16) );
dl( VERTEX2F(90 * 16, 17 * 16) );
dl( COLOR_RGB(0, 0, 128) );
dl( POINT_SIZE(10 * 16) );
dl( VERTEX2F(30 * 16, 51 * 16) );
dl( COLOR_RGB(128, 128, 0) );
dl( POINT_SIZE(13 * 16) );
dl( VERTEX2F(90 * 16, 51 * 16) );
The VERTEX2F command gives the location of the circle center.
Draw lines with varying sizes from 2 pixels to 6 pixels with different colors (line width
size is from center of the line till boundary):
dl( COLOR_RGB(128, 0, 0) );

dl( VERTEX2F(90 * 16, 63 * 16) );
The VERTEX2F commands are in pairs to define the start and finish point of the line.
Draw rectangle with sizes of 5x25, 10x38 and 15x50 dimensions (line width size is used
for corner curvature, LINE_WIDTH pixels are added on both directions in addition to
rectangle dimension):
dl( COLOR_RGB(128, 0, 0) );
dl( LINE_WIDTH(1 * 16) );
dl( BEGIN(RECTS) );
dl( VERTEX2F(28 * 16,38 * 16) );

dl( VERTEX2F(83 * 16, 13 * 16) );
dl( VERTEX2F(98 * 16, 63 * 16) );
The VERTEX2F commands are in pairs to define the top left and bottom right corners of
the rectangle.

by default m = [
The coordinates

,
after transforming is calculated in following equation:
[ ]=m×[ ]
i.e.:
where A,B,C,E,D,E,F stands for the values assigned by commands
BITMAP_TRANSFORM_A-F.
2.5.6 Color and transparency
The same bitmap can be drawn in more places on the screen, in different colors and
transparency:
dl(COLOR_RGB(255, 64, 64)); // red at (200, 120)
dl(VERTEX2II(200, 120, 0, 0));
dl(COLOR_RGB(64, 180, 64)); // green at (216, 136)
dl(VERTEX2II(216, 136, 0, 0));
dl(COLOR_RGB(255, 255, 64)); // transparent yellow at (232, 152)
dl(COLOR_A(150));

The COLOR_RGB command changes the current drawing color, which colors the bitmap.
The COLOR_A command changes the current drawing alpha, changing the transparency
of the drawing: an alpha of 0 means fully transparent and an alpha of 255 is fully
opaque. Here a value of 150 gives a partially transparent effect.
2.5.7 VERTEX2II and VERTEX2F
The VERTEX2II command used above only allows positive screen coordinates. If the
bitmap is partially off screen, for example during a screen scroll, then it is necessary to
specify negative screen coordinates. The VERTEX2F command allows negative
coordinates. It also allows fractional coordinates, because it specifies screen (x,y) in
units of 1/16 of a pixel.
For example, drawing the same bitmap at screen position (-10,-10) using VERTEX2F:

2.5.9
Performance
The graphics engine has no frame buffer: it uses dynamic compositing to build up each
display line during scan out. Because of this, there is a finite amount of time available to
draw each line. This time depends on the scan out parameters (REG_PCLK and
REG_HCYCLE) but is never less than 2048 internal clock cycles.
Some performance limits:




The display list length must be less than 2048 instructions, because the
graphics engine fetches display list commands one per clock.
The graphics engine performance rending pixels is 4 pixels per clock, for any
line with 2048 display commands the total pixels performance drawn must be
less than 8192.
For some bitmap formats, the drawing rate is 1 pixel per clock. These are
TEXT8X8, TEXTVGA and PALETTED.
For bilinear filtered pixels, the drawing rate is reduced to ¼ pixel per clock.
Most bitmap formats draw at 1 pixel per clock, and the above formats
(TEXT8X8, TEXTVGA and PALETTED) draw at 1 pixel every 4 clocks.

3 Register Description
In this chapter, all the registers in the FT800 are classified into 5 groups: Graphics
Engine Registers, Audio Engine Registers, Touch Engine Registers, and Co-processor
Engine Registers as well as Miscellaneous Registers. This chapter gives the detailed
definition for each register. To view the register summary of the FT800, please check the
datasheet instead.
In addition, please note that all the reserved bits are read-only and shall be zero. All the
hexadecimal values are prefixed with 0x. Readers are strongly encouraged to crossreference the other chapters of this document for a better understanding.

Bit 0 : This bit controls the transition of RGB signals with PCLK active clock
edge. When REG_CSPREAD=0, R[7:2],G[7:2] and B[7:2] signals change
following the active edge of PCLK. When REG_CSPREAD=1, R[7:2] changes a
PCLK clock early and B[7:2] a PCLK clock later, which helps reduce the system
noise .

4 Display list commands
The graphics engine of FT800 takes the instructions from display list memory RAM_DL in
the form of commands. Each command is 4 bytes long and one display list can be filled
up to 2048 commands since the size of RAM_DL is 8K bytes. The graphics engine of the
FT800 performs respective operation according to the definition of commands.
4.1 Graphics State
The graphics state which controls drawing is stored in the graphics context. Individual
pieces of state can be changed by the appropriate display list commands (e.g.
COLOR_RGB) and the entire state can be saved and restored using the SAVE_CONTEXT
and RESTORE_CONTEXT commands.
Note that the bitmap drawing state is special: Although the bitmap handle is part of the
graphics context, the parameters for each bitmap handle are not part of the graphics
context.
They
are neither saved
nor
restored
by
SAVE_CONTEXT
and
RESTORE_CONTEXT. These parameters are changed using the BITMAP_SOURCE,
BITMAP_LAYOUT, and BITMAP_SIZE commands. Once these parameters are set up, they
can be utilized at any display list until they were changed.
SAVE_CONTEXT and RESTORE_CONTEXT are comprised of a 4 level stack in addition to
the current graphics context. The table below details the various parameters in the
graphics context.

BARGRAPH - render data as a bar graph. Looks up the x coordinate in a byte array, then
gives an opaque pixel if the byte value is less than y, otherwise a transparent pixel. The
result is a bar graph of the bitmap data. A maximum of 256x256 size bitmap can be
drawn using the BARGRAPH format. Orientation, width and height of the graph can be
altered using the bitmap transform matrix.
TEXT8X8 - lookup in a fixed 8x8 font. The bitmap is a byte array present in the graphics
ram and each byte indexes into an internal 8x8 CP437 [2] font (inbuilt font bitmap
handles 16 & 17 are used for drawing TEXT8X8 format). The result is that the bitmap
acts like a character grid. A single bitmap can be drawn which covers all or part of the
display; each byte in the bitmap data corresponds to one 8x8 pixel character cell.

TEXTVGA – lookup in a fixed 8x16 font with TEXTVGA syntax. The bitmap is a TEXTVGA
array present in the graphics ram, each element indexes into an internal 8x16 CP437 [2]
font (inbuilt font bitmap handles 18 & 19 are used for drawing TEXTVGA format with
control information such as background color, foreground color and cursor etc). The
result is that the bitmap acts like a TEXTVGA grid. A single bitmap can be drawn which
covers all or part of the display; each TEXTVGA data type in the bitmap corresponds to
one 8x16 pixel character cell.
PALETTED - bitmap bytes are indices into a palette table. By using a palette table which contains 32-bit RGBA colors - a significant amount of memory can be saved. The
256 color palette is stored in a dedicated 1K (256x4) byte RAM_PAL.
linestride
Bitmap linestride, in bytes. Please note the alignment requirement which is
described below.
height
Bitmap height, in lines
Description
The bitmap formats supported are L1, L4, L8, RGB332, ARGB2, ARGB4, ARGB1555,
RGB565 and Palette.
For L1 format, the line stride must be a multiple of 8 bits; For L4 format the line
stride must be multiple of 2 nibbles. (Aligned to byte)

Parameters
c
Clear color buffer. Setting this bit to 1 will clear the color buffer of the FT800
to the preset value. Setting this bit to 0 will maintain the color buffer of the
FT800 with an unchanged value. The preset value is defined in command
CLEAR_COLOR_RGB for RGB channel and CLEAR_COLOR_A for alpha channel.
s
Clear stencil buffer. Setting this bit to 1 will clear the stencil buffer of the
FT800 to the preset value.
Setting this bit to 0 will maintain the stencil
buffer of the FT800 with an unchanged value. The preset value is defined in
command CLEAR_STENCIL.
t
Clear tag buffer. Setting this bit to 1 will clear the tag buffer of the FT800 to
the preset value. Setting this bit to 0 will maintain the tag buffer of the
FT800 with an unchanged value. The preset value is defined in command
CLEAR_TAG.
Description
The scissor test and the buffer write masks affect the operation of the clear. Scissor
limits the cleared rectangle, and the buffer write masks limit the affected buffers.
The state of the alpha function, blend function, and stenciling do not affect the clear.
Examples
To clear the screen to bright blue:
dl( CLEAR_COLOR_RGB(0, 0, 255) );
dl( CLEAR(1, 0, 0) );

a
Enable or disable the alpha channel update of the FT800 color buffer. The
initial value is 1 and means enable.
Description
The color mask controls whether the color values of a pixel are updated. Sometimes
it is used to selectively update only the red, green, blue or alpha channels of the
image. More often, it is used to completely disable color updates while updating the
tag and stencil buffers.
Examples
Draw a '8' digit in the middle of the screen. Then paint an invisible 40-pixel circular
touch area into the tag buffer:
dl( BEGIN(BITMAPS) );
dl( VERTEX2II(68, 40, 31, 0x38) );

Parameters
s
Tag value. Valid value range is from 1 to 255.
Description
The initial value of the tag buffer of the FT800 is specified by command CLEAR_TAG
and taken effect by command CLEAR. TAG command can specify the value of the tag
buffer of the FT800 that applies to the graphics objects when they are drawn on the
screen. This TAG value will be assigned to all the following objects, unless the
TAG_MASK command is used to disable it. Once the following graphics objects are
drawn, they are attached with the tag value successfully. When the graphics objects
attached with the tag value are touched, the register REG_TOUCH_TAG will be updated
with the tag value of the graphics object being touched.
If there is no TAG commands in one display list, all the graphics objects rendered by
the display list will report tag value as 255 in REG_TOUCH_TAG when they were
touched.

Therefore, the following graphics objects will be attached to the tag value
given by the TAG command.
The value zero means the tag buffer of the FT800 is set as the default value,
rather than the value given by TAG command in the display list.
Description
Every graphics object drawn on screen is attached with the tag value which is
defined in the FT800 tag buffer. The FT800 tag buffer can be updated by TAG
command.
The default value of the FT800 tag buffer is determined by CLEAR_TAG and
CLEAR commands. If there is no CLEAR_TAG command present in the display
list, the default value in tag buffer shall be 0.
TAG_MASK command decides whether the FT800 tag buffer takes the value
from the default value of the FT800 tag buffer or the TAG command of the
display list.

The co-processor engine is fed via a 4 Kbyte FIFO in FT800 memory at RAM_CMD. The
MCU writes commands into the FIFO, and the co-processor engine reads and executes
Copyright © 2014 Future Technology Devices International Limited
140
FT800 Series Programmer Guide
Version 2.0
Document Reference No.: FT_000793
Clearance No.: FTDI#349
the commands. The MCU updates register REG_CMD_WRITE to indicate that there are
new commands in the FIFO, and the co-processor engine updates REG_CMD_READ after
commands have been executed.
So to compute the available free space in the FIFO, the MCU can compute:
fullness = (REG_CMD_WRITE -REG_CMD_READ) mod 4096
freespace = (4096 - 4) -fullness;
This calculation does not report 4096 bytes of free space, to prevent completely
wrapping the FIFO and making it appear empty.
If enough space is available in the FIFO, the MCU writes the commands at the
appropriate location in the FIFO RAM, then updates REG_CMD_WRITE. To simplify the
MCU code, the FT800 hardware automatically wraps continuous writes from (RAM_CMD
+ 4095) back to (RAM_CMD + 0).
FIFO entries are always 4 bytes wide - it is an error for either REG_CMD_READ or
REG_CMD_WRITE to have a value that is not a multiple of 4 bytes. Each command
issued to the co-processor engine may take 1 or more words: the length depends on the
command itself, and any appended data. Some commands are followed by variablelength data, so the command size may not be a multiple of 4 bytes. In this case the coprocessor engine ignores the extra 1, 2 or 3 bytes and continues reading the next
command at the following 4 byte boundary.
5.1 Co-processor handling of Display list commands
Most co-processor engine commands write to the current display list. The current write
location in the display list is held in REG_CMD_DL. Whenever the co-processor engine
writes a word to the display list, it does so at REG_CMD_DL then increments
REG_CMD_DL. The special command CMD_DLSTART sets REG_CMD_DL to zero, for the
start of a new display list.
Copyright © 2014 Future Technology Devices International Limited
141
FT800 Series Programmer Guide
Version 2.0
Document Reference No.: FT_000793
Clearance No.: FTDI#349
All display list commands can be written as co-processor engine commands. The coprocessor engine copies these commands into the current display list at REG_CMD_DL.
For example, this series of co-processor engine commands writes a small display list:
cmd(CMD_DLSTART); // start a new display list
cmd(CLEAR_COLOR_RGB(255, 100, 100)); // set clear color
cmd(CLEAR(1, 1, 1)); // clear screen
cmd(DISPLAY()); // display
Of course, this display list could have been written directly to RAM_DL. The advantage of
this technique is that you can mix low-level operations and high level co-processor
engine commands in a single stream:
cmd(CMD_DLSTART);
// start a new display list
cmd(CLEAR_COLOR_RGB(255, 100, 100));
// set clear color
cmd(CLEAR(1, 1, 1));
// clear screen
cmd_button(20, 20,
// x, y
60, 60,
// width, height in pixels
30,
// font 30
0,
// default options
"OK!");
cmd(DISPLAY());
// display
5.2 Synchronization
At some points, it is necessary to wait until the co-processor engine has processed all
outstanding commands. When the co-processor engine completes the last outstanding
command in the command buffer, it raises the INT_CMDEMPTY interrupt. Another
approach is that the MCU can poll REG_CMD_READ until it is equal to REG_CMD_WRITE.
One situation that requires synchronization is to read the value of REG_CMD_DL, when
the MCU needs to do direct writes into the display list. In this situation the MCU should
wait until the co-processor engine is idle before reading REG_CMD_DL.
5.3 ROM and RAM Fonts
The graphics engine hardware draws bitmap graphics, and it is useful for software to
treat these graphics as fonts.
Font metrics - e.g. character height and width - are used by software when placing font
characters. For the ROM character bitmaps, these font metrics are in ROM. The coprocessor engine uses these metrics when drawing text in any of the 16 built-in ROM
Copyright © 2014 Future Technology Devices International Limited

fonts, numbered 16-31. Users can load similar font metrics into RAM, and hence create
additional user-defined fonts in bitmap handles 0-14. Bitmap handle 15 is reserved for
co-processor command CMD_Button/CMD_Keys/CMD_Gradient.
Each 148-byte font metric block has this format:

pointer to font graphic data in memory
For the ROM fonts, these blocks are also in ROM, in an array of length 16. The address of
this array is held in ROM location 0xffffc. For example to find the width of character 'g'
(ASCII 0x67) in font 31:
read 32-bit pointer p from 0xffffc
widths = p + (148 * (31 - 16)) (table starts at font 16)
read byte from memory at widths[0x67]
For the built-in ROM font of the FT800, the valid character range for one bitmap handle
is printable ASCII code, i.e., from 32 to 127, both inclusive. For custom RAM font, the
ASCII code range of valid characters is from 1 to 127.
To use a custom font in the user-interface objects:

handle.
Use the selected handle in any co-processor command font argument.
5.4 Cautions
For some of the widgets, if the input parameter values are more than 512 pixel
resolution, the generated widgets may not be proper.
Behavior of CMD_TRACK is not defined if the center of the track object (in case of rotary
track) or top left of the track object (in case of linear track) is outside the display region.
Only signed and unsigned integers are supported in CMD_NUMBER (fractional part is not
supported).

The behavior of widgets is not defined if the input parameters values are outside the
valid range.
5.5 Fault Scenarios
Some commands can cause co-processor engine faults. These faults arise because the
co-processor engine cannot continue. For example:



An invalid JPEG is supplied to CMD_LOADIMAGE
An invalid data stream is supplied to CMD_INFLATE
An attempt is made to write more than 2048 instructions into a display list
In the fault condition, the co-processor engine sets REG_CMD_READ to 0xfff (an illegal
value because all command buffer data shall be 32-bit aligned), raises the
INT_CMDEMPTY interrupt, and stops accepting new commands. When the host MCU
recognizes the fault condition, it should recover as follows:



Set REG_CPURESET to 1, to hold the co-processor engine in the reset
condition
Set REG_CMD_READ and REG_CMD_WRITE to zero
Set REG_CPURESET to 0, to restart the co-processor engine
5.6 widgets physical dimension
This section contains the common physical dimensions of the widgets.



All rounded corners have a radius that is computed from the font used for the
widget (curvature of lowercase 'o' character). The radius is computed as Font
height*3/16
All 3D shadows are drawn with: (1) highlight offset 0.5 pixels above and left
of the object (2) shadow offset 1.0 pixel below and right of the object.
For widgets such as progress bar, scrollbar and slider, the output widget will
be a vertical widget in case width and height are of same value.
5.7 widgets color settings
Co-processor engine widgets are drawn with the color designated by the precedent
commands: CMD_FGCOLOR, CMD_BGCOLOR and COLOR_RGB. According to these
commands, the co-processor engine will determine to render the different area of coprocessor engine widgets in different color.
Usually, CMD_FGCOLOR affects the interaction area of co-processor engine widgets if
they are designed for interactive UI element, for example, CMD_BUTTON, CMD_DIAL.
CMD_BGCOLOR applies to the co-processor engine widgets with background. Please see
the table below for more details.

drawing. This state is set to the default at co-processor engine reset, and by
CMD_COLDSTART. The state values are not affected by CMD_DLSTART or CMD_SWAP,
so an application need only set them once at startup.

The co-processor engine does not change hardware graphics state. That is, graphics
states such as color and line width are not to be changed by co-processor engine.
However, the widgets do reserve some hardware resources, which user programs need
take into account:


Bitmap handle 15 is used by the 3D-effect buttons, keys and gradient.
One graphics context is used by objects, so the effective stack depth for
SAVE_CONTEXT and RESTORE_CONTEXT commands is 3 levels.

5.18 CMD_MEMWRITE - write bytes into memory
Writes the following bytes into the FT800 memory. This command can be used to set
register values, or to update memory contents at specific times.
C prototype
void cmd_memwrite( uint32_t ptr,
uint32_t num );
Parameters
Ptr
The memory address to be written
num
Number of bytes to be written.
Description
The data byte should immediately follow in the command buffer. If the number of bytes
is not a multiple of 4, then 1, 2 or 3 bytes should be appended to ensure 4-byte
alignment of the next command, these padding bytes can have any value. The
completion of this function can be detected when the value of REG_CMD_READ is equal
to REG_CMD_WRITE.
Caution: if using this command, it may corrupt the memory of the FT800 if used
improperly.

5.20 CMD_LOADIMAGE - load a JPEG image
Decompress the following JPEG image data into an FT800 bitmap, in main memory. The
image data should be a regular baseline JPEG (JFIF) image.
C prototype
void cmd_loadimage( uint32_t ptr,
uint32_t options );
Parameters
ptr
Destination address
options
By default, option OPT_RGB565 means the loaded bitmap is in RGB565
format. Option OPT_MONO means the loaded bitmap to be monochrome, in L8
format. The command appends display list commands to set the source,
layout and size of the resulting image. Option OPT_NODL prevents this nothing is written to the display list. OPT_NODL can be OR'ed with OPT_MONO
or OPT_RGB565.
Description
The data byte should immediately follow in the command buffer. If the number of bytes
is not a multiple of 4, then 1, 2 or 3 bytes should be appended to ensure 4-byte
alignment of the next command. These padding bytes can have any value.
The application on the host processor has to parse the JPEG header to get the properties
of the JPEG image and decide to decode. Behavior is unpredictable in cases of non
baseline jpeg images or the output data generated is more than the RAM_G size.

y0
y-coordinate of point 0, in pixels
rgb0
Color of point 0, as a 24-bit RGB number. R is the most significant8 bits, B is
the least. So 0xff0000 is bright red.

rgb1
Color of point 1
Description
All the color's step values are calculated based on smooth curve interpolated from
the RGB0 to RGB1 parameter. The smooth curve equation is independently
calculated for all three colors and the equation used is R0 + t * (R1 - R0), where t is
interpolated between 0 and 1. Gradient must be used with Scissor function to get
the intended gradient display.

5.48 CMD_SPINNER - start an animated spinner
The spinner is an animated overlay that shows the user that some task is continuing. To
trigger the spinner, create a display list and then use CMD_SPINNER. The co-processor
engine overlays the spinner on the current display list, swaps the display list to make it
visible, then continuously animates until it receives CMD_STOP. REG_MACRO_0 and
REG_MACRO_1 registers are utilized to perform the animation kind of effect. The
frequency of points movement is with respect to the display frame rate configured.
Typically for 480x272 display panels the display rate is ~60fps. For style 0 and 60fps,
the point repeats the sequence within 2 seconds. For style 1 and 60fps, the point repeats
the sequence within 1.25 seconds. For style 2 and 60fps, the clock hand repeats the
sequence within 2 seconds. For style 3 and 60fps, the moving dots repeat the sequence
within 1 second.
Note that only one of CMD_SKETCH, CMD_SCREENSAVER, or CMD_SPINNER can be
active at one time.

5.54 CMD_SNAPSHOT - take a snapshot of the current screen
This command causes the co-processor engine to take a snapshot of the current screen,
and write the result into RAM_G as a ARGB4 bitmap. The size of the bitmap is the size of
the screen, given by the REG_HSIZE and REG_VSIZE registers.
During the snapshot process, the display should be disabled by setting REG_PCLK to 0 to
avoid display glitch.
Because co-processor engine needs to write the result into the destination address, the
destination address must be never used or referenced by graphics engine.

The logo command causes the co-processor engine to play back a short animation of the
FTDI logo. During logo playback the MCU should not access any FT800 resources. After
2.5 seconds have elapsed, the co-processor engine writes zero to REG_CMD_READ and
REG_CMD_WRITE, and starts waiting for commands. After this command is complete,
the MCU shall write the next command to the starting address of RAM_CMD.
C prototype
void cmd_logo( );
Command layout
+0
CMD_LOGO(0xffffff31)
Examples
To play back the logo animation:
cmd_logo();
delay(3000);
// Optional to wait
While( (0 != rd16(REG_CMD_WRITE)) &&
(rd16(REG_CMD_WRITE) != rd16(REG_CMD_READ) ));//Wait till both
read & write pointer register are equal to zero

6 FT801 operation
6.1 FT801 introduction
FT800 and FT801 share exactly the same graphics and audio feature sets. The touch
capabilities of the FT800 devices are designed for controlling touch on a resistive panel,
while FT801 is for capacitive touch and allows up to 5 touch points. Therefore, the FT801
has a different touch engine and touch control register set from the FT800. All the
registers which name starts with “REG_TOUCH” have been assigned to new name
“REG_CTOUCH”.
6.2 FT801 touch engine
The FT801 has the new Capacitive Touch Screen Engine(CTSE) built in with the following
features:




I2C interface to Capacitive Touch Panel Module(CTPM)
Support up to 5 touching points at the same time
Support CTPM with Focaltech FT5x06 series or Azotech IQS5xx series drive chip
Compatibility mode and Extended mode
By default, the FT801 touch engine works in compatibility mode and only one touching
point is detected. In extended mode, the FT801 touch engine can detect up to 5
touching points simultaneously.
6.3 FT801 touch registers
FT801 has re-defined the touch registers of the FT800 as below:

6.5 Calibration
Calibration process initiated by CMD_CALIBRATE is only available in the compatibility
mode. However, the results of calibration process are applicable to both compatibility
mode and extended mode. As such, users are recommended to finish the calibration
process before entering into extended mode.
After calibration process is done, the registers REG_CTOUCH_TRANSFORM_A~F will be
updated as coefficient of transformation matrix.
6.6 CMD_CSKETCH – Capacitive touch specific sketch
This command has the same functionality as CMD_SKETCH except it has done the
optimization for a capacitive touch panel. Because capacitive touch panels have lower
sampling frequencies (around 100Hz) to report the coordinates, the sketch functionality
updates less frequently compared to resistive touch. CMD_CSKETCH introduces a linear
interpolation algorithm to provide a smoother effect when drawing the output line.

Format of sketch bitmap, either L1 or L8
freq
The oversampling frequency. The typical value is 1500 to make sure the
lines are connected smoothly. The value zero means no oversampling
operation.
Description
This command is only valid for FT801 silicon. FT801 co-processor will oversample
the coordinates reported by the capacitive touch panel in the frequency of ‘freq’ and
forms the lines with a smoother effect.
