#PineDio Stack uses the 3-Wire Interface for #ST7789 ... Instead of the familiar 4-Wire Interface

#BL604 SPI Pins are Swapped! 🙄 Here's the workaround for #PineDio Stack

Always have a Logic Analyser ready ... When testing Prototype Hardware! 👍

What's it like to create #OpenSource software for brand new Prototype Hardware ... Like #PineDio Stack BL604? All shall be explained in this article

Porting #Arduino GFX Library to #BL604 wasn't so hard! Just need to map the Arduino API to the BL604 IoT SDK 👍

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/3wire/customer_app/pinedio_st7789_bitbang/pinedio_st7789_bitbang/Arduino_SWSPI.c#L37-L43

Since our #ST7789 Display doesn't respond to GFX Library 9-Bit Banging ... Maybe our display isn't hardwired for 3-Wire 9-Bit mode? Let's verify IM0 to 3 with the display maker

Disabled Logging in #BL604 GFX Library ... SPI Clock looks cleaner now ... But still nothing on #ST7789 Display 🤔

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/3wire/customer_app/pinedio_st7789_bitbang/pinedio_st7789_bitbang/demo.c

#BL604 GFX Library is indeed Bit-Banging 9-bit data to #ST7789 ... But #PineDio Stack Display is still blank 🤔

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/3wire/customer_app/pinedio_st7789_bitbang/pinedio_st7789_bitbang/demo.c

We run the GFX Library on Linux ... To see the data that will be transmitted to #ST7789 Display

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/3wire/customer_app/pinedio_st7789_bitbang/test/test.c

Let's port moononournation's awesome 9-bit-banging GFX Library to #BL604 ... And compare the SPI Output with a Logic Analyser

https://github.com/moononournation/Arduino_GFX

Need to verify that our #ST7789 Display is hardwired for "3-line 9bit serial I/F Ⅱ" mode: IM0 = 1, IM1 = 0, IM2 = 1, IM3 = 1 🤔

https://www.rhydolabz.com/documents/33/ST7789.pdf

#BL604 GPIO 17 is now free from the MOSI Curse! But nothing appears on #ST7789 Display 🤔

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/blob/3wire/customer_app/pinedio_st7789/pinedio_st7789/demo.c#L53-L75

Yep MISO and MOSI are now swapped! This matches the SPI Pin Definitions in #BL604 Reference Manual ... So from now on we'll always call GLB_Swap_SPI_0_MOSI_With_MISO
