The color format is set in the DMA2D_OPFCCR.
The DMA2D does not perform any data fetching from any source. It just writes the color
defined in the DMA2D_OCOLR register to the area located at the address pointed by the
DMA2D_OMAR and defined in the DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_OOR.
Memory-to-memory
In memory-to-memory mode, the DMA2D does not perform any graphical data
transformation. The foreground input FIFO acts as a buffer and the data are transferred
from the source memory location defined in DMA2D_FGMAR to the destination memory
location pointed by DMA2D_OMAR.
The color mode programmed in the CM[3:0] bits of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register defines
the number of bits per pixel for both input and output.
The size of the area to be transferred is defined by the DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_FGOR
registers for the source, and by DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_OOR registers for the
destination.
Memory-to-memory with PFC
In this mode, the DMA2D performs a pixel format conversion of the source data and stores
them in the destination memory location.
The size of the areas to be transferred are defined by the DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_FGOR
registers for the source, and by DMA2D_NLR and DMA2D_OOR registers for the
destination.
Data are fetched from the location defined in the DMA2D_FGMAR register and processed
by the foreground PFC. The original pixel format is configured through the
DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.
If the original pixel format is direct color mode, then the color channels are all expanded to 8
bits.
If the pixel format is indirect color mode, the associated CLUT has to be loaded into the
CLUT memory.
The CLUT loading can be done automatically by following the sequence below:
1.
Set the CLUT address into the DMA2D_FGCMAR.
2. Set the CLUT size in the CS[7:0] bits of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.
3. Set the CLUT format (24 or 32 bits) in the CCM bit of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.
4. Start the CLUT loading by setting the START bit of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register.
Once the CLUT loading is complete, the CTCIF flag of the DMA2D_IFR register is raised,
and an interrupt is generated if the CTCIE bit is set in DMA2D_CR. The automatic CLUT
loading process can not work in parallel with classical DMA2D transfers.
The CLUT can also be filled by the CPU or by any other master through the APB port. The
access to the CLUT is not possible when a DMA2D transfer is ongoing and uses the CLUT
(indirect color format).
In parallel to the color conversion process, the alpha value can be added or changed
depending on the value programmed in the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register. If the original
image does not have an alpha channel, a default alpha value of 0xFF is automatically added
