## Estimating fillrate
|
|
|
|
Here are some results of simple tests on filling DMA buffer with data.
|
|
Filling DMA buffer requres lot's of memory operations on a bit level rather than doing simple byte/word wide store and copy. And it looks like it's quite a task both for esp32 core and compiler.
|
|
I've done this while optimizing loops and bit logic along with testing compiler results.
|
|
|
|
So the testbed is:
|
|
- Matrix modules: 4 x FM6126A based 64x64 modules chained in 256x64
|
|
|
|
A simple sketch:
|
|
- allocating single DMA buffs for 256x64
|
|
- allocating (NUM_LEDS*3) bytes for CRGB buffer
|
|
- measuring microseconds for the following calls:
|
|
- clearScreen() - full blanking
|
|
- fillScreenRGB888() with monochrome/gray colors
|
|
- filling some gradient into CRGB buff
|
|
- painting CRGB buff into DMA buff with looped drawPixelRGB888()
|
|
