Hello from the DSI screen

A project log for VerilogBoy - GameBoy on FPGA

A Pi emulating a GameBoy sounds cheap. What about an FPGA?

Here it is. 320x320 IPS MIPI DSI screen. DSI running at 268 MHz (256 MiHz), that's exactly 64 times the Game Boy pixel clock rate (4 MiHz). With every GameBoy pixel quadrupled, and every pixel being 16 bits (FYI, the GBC uses 15bpp), it is going to transmit the pixel output from the PPU to the screen perfectly in sync. DSI controller is implemented in FPGA. A custom boot ROM running on the GameBoy CPU takes care the DSI controller initialization as well as screen initialization. More details about DSI is coming.
