Looks like the real original speed is 47 (after I set the FPS limit to 250).
Edit: That 100 is fishy. I suspect it might be higher.

Anyway, this is what I currently haveā¦
Would unrolling the loops like that cause issues elsewhere?
On a processor with an instruction cache, thatād be bad. In this case, I guess the only problem would be the amount of flash space it takes up.
I suggest disabling the framerate limiter entirely for these tests:
bool Core::update(bool useDirectMode, uint8_t updRectX, uint8_t updRectY, uint8_t updRectW, uint8_t updRectH) {
#if POK_STREAMING_MUSIC
sound.updateStream();
#endif
uint32_t now = getTime();
if ( /**/ true /*/ (((nextFrameMillis - now)) > timePerFrame) && frameEndMicros /* */ ) { //if time to render a new frame is reached and the frame end has ran once
nextFrameMillis = now + timePerFrame;
frameCount++;
frameEndMicros = 0;
backlight.update();
buttons.update();
battery.update();
// FPS counter
#if defined(PROJ_USE_FPS_COUNTER) || defined(PROJ_SHOW_FPS_COUNTER)
const uint32_t fpsInterval_ms = 1000*3;
fps_frameCount++;
if (now > fps_refreshtime) {
fps_counter = (1000*fps_frameCount) / (now - fps_refreshtime + fpsInterval_ms);
fps_refreshtime = now + fpsInterval_ms;
fps_frameCount = 0;
fps_counter_updated = true;
}
#endif
// return true;
// } else {
if (!frameEndMicros) { //runs once at the end of the frame
#if POK_ENABLE_SOUND > 0
sound.updateTrack();
sound.updatePattern();
sound.updateNote();
#endif
updatePopup();
displayBattery();
display.update(useDirectMode, updRectX, updRectY, updRectW, updRectH); //send the buffer to the screen
frameEndMicros = 1; //jonne
}
// return false;
}
return true;
}
Awesome @spinal !
Iām laughing out loud here, I knew this is what it would come to after some tweaking.
without the limit, itās 105fps.
I am a bit over 60 fps now.
I wanted to check that the FPS counter works correctly, so I recorded Pokittosās screen with my phone video camera, at 60 fps. After checking the video frame by frame, I can confirm that the FPS counter looks to be quite correct Of course, there are some dropped frames and double frames in seen in the video. That is because the frame rate is not steady as it depends on the current screen content in my demo.
I think we can soon do some PRs for these performance improvements.
mode13.bin (45.3 KB)
platformer.bin (68.8 KB)
Iām getting 105fps from mode13.bin and about 43fps from platformer.bin.
Here is the two layer scroller at 61-63 fps. For this version I have added palette animation.
twolayer.bin (37.8 KB)
nice is that 16colour?
yes, I am using a normal āfastā mode: 110x88x16 colors
Itās a cool demo. A bit heavy on the eyes after a while
@FManga I just cannot get this to work in setup_data_16():
*reinterpret_cast<uint32_t *>(0xA0002188) = data<<3;
It messes up the display.
this works ok:
LPC_GPIO_PORT->MPIN[2] = data<<3;
Hmmā¦ is this with -O3? Have you tried with volatile?
*reinterpret_cast<volatile uint32_t *>(0xA0002188) = data<<3;
110 fps in the plasma example:
#define TGL_WR \
*reinterpret_cast< volatile uint32_t *>(0xA0002284) = 1 << LCD_WR_PIN; \
*reinterpret_cast< volatile uint32_t *>(0xA0002204) = 1 << LCD_WR_PIN;

I changed the mode13 demo to use mode2 instead, then I made the following changes and it worked (103 fps, without palette animation of course):

Cool! Have to test it with my demo
Please do, Iām not 100% sure I didnāt break something.
Suggestion: how about, in the beginning of a function, first make an unrolled loop to store the paletteptr
to uint32_t palette32bit[16]
with shifted color values. That avoids ā<< 3ā-shifts inside the following loop.
Might not be much faster thought.
I tried something like this (same idea, but do the copy when the palette is loaded instead of every frame, and also got rid of the >>4
and &0xF
):
...
volatile uint32_t *LCD = reinterpret_cast< volatile uint32_t * >(0xA0002188);
const uint32_t *paletteL = reinterpret_cast<uint32_t *>(0x20000000);
const uint32_t *paletteH = paletteL+256;
for(x=0;x<110;x+=2)
{
d = scrbuf+(x>>1);// point to beginning of line in data
/** find colours in one scanline **/
uint8_t s=0;
for(y=0;y<88;y++)
{
scanline[0][s] = *LCD = paletteH[*d]; TGL_WR;TGL_WR;
scanline[1][s++] = paletteL[*d];
d += 110/2;
}
...
together with this:
void Display::load565Palette(const uint16_t* p) {
*reinterpret_cast<volatile uint32_t *>(0x40048080) |= 3 << 26;
uint32_t *paletteL = reinterpret_cast<uint32_t *>(0x20000000);
uint32_t *paletteH = paletteL+256;
for( uint32_t i=0; i<256; ++i ){
palette[i] = p[i];
paletteL[i] = uint32_t(p[i&0xF]) << 3;
paletteH[i] = uint32_t(p[(i>>4)&0xF]) << 3;
}
// for (int i=0;i<PALSIZE;i++) palette[i] = p[i];
paletteptr = palette;
}
Got a speed drop to 91 fps.
