Configure Parallel Display Interface

Associate Parallel Display Interface module to LE External Controller by right-clicking on the red diamond.
Associate parallel display interface

Select the Parallel Display Interface in the Project Graph and configure the Parallel Display Interface on Configuration Options.

Parallel display interface configuration

From the Project Graph tab, select Plugins > DMA Configuration to launch the DMA Configuration window.

Open DMA configuration

A new window, DMA Settings, is opened in the project’s main window.

DMA window

Click on the DMA Settings tab. Configure DMA Channel 0 to transfer application buffer to the Parallel Display Interface. The DMA transfers 1 byte from the CCL output to Parallel Display Interface on each trigger.

Based on the trigger source, the DMA channel configuration is automatically set by Microchip Code Configurator (MCC).

  • Trigger Action: Action was taken by DMA on receiving a trigger
    • One beat transfer: Generally used during a memory-to-peripheral or peripheral-to-memory transfer
    • One block transfer: Generally used during memory-to-memory transfer on a software trigger
  • Source Address Mode, Destination Address Mode: Select whether to increment Source/Destination Address after every transfer. Automatically set by MCC based on the trigger type. For example:
    • If the trigger source is memory-to-peripheral, then the Source Address is incremented, and the Destination Address is fixed
    • If the trigger source is peripheral-to-memory, then the Source Address is fixed, and the Destination Address is incremented
  • Beat Size: Size of one beat. The default value is 8-bits. For example:
    • If the SPI peripheral is configured for 16-bit/32-bit mode, then the beat size must be set to 16-bits/32-bits respectively
