11.2.11 RAMDAC register accesses
Accesses to the RAMDAC’s internal registers are made through locations
within the Power 9100’s address space, see Section 11.4.1, “RAMDAC
host interface”, on page 11-22
11.3
Direct frame buffer access
To the host, the framebuffer appears as a normal 2 Mbyte linear memory
array. With 8 bit pixels, each byte in the framebuffer represents 1 pixel on
the display and the lowest addressed location in the framebuffer appears at
the top left of the display; that is the pixel at the top left of the display (pixel
0) is addressed at 0x30200000. The top left pixel on the display is fixed at
this address in memory. Panning and zooming is carried out by redrawing
the image in the framebuffer.
Pixel data is packed into the framebuffer so that adjacent lines on the
display start at line-length address intervals. For example, the first pixel on
the second line of a 640 x 480 pixel display would be addressed at
0x38800280. Figure 11-4 illustrates the framebuffer addressing for two
