Control and debug registers

For more information, refer to Control Packets.

111
0x0120 IMG_INFO_WIDTH RW Use this register to set the width of outgoing video fields. If the output chroma sampling is 4:2:2 or 4:2:0, the width should be a multiple of 2.
0x0124 IMG_INFO_HEIGHT RW Use this register to set the height for outgoing video fields. If the output chroma sampling is 4:2:0, the height should be a multiple of 2.
0x0128 IMG_INFO_INTERLACE RW Use this register to set the interlace output behavior for the outgoing fields. The value you write to this register corresponds to the value that is output in the interlace identifier nibble of the outgoing image info packets (full variants only). Values 0-7 produce progressive output, values 8-15 produce interlaced output. The interlaced sequence is restarted at F0 or F1 a change to the test pattern settings (address 0x0120 to 0x0128, and 0x0150). Values 8-11 in this register restart the sequence with F0, values 12-15 restart with F1
0x012C to 0x013C - - Unused
0x0140 STATUS RO

Bit 0: Status bit.

1 = test pattern generator is processing a video field, 0 otherwise.

Lite mode off:

Bit 1: Pending register updates bit.

Any writes to the settings register (0x0148 - 0x0154) cause the IP to raise the pending register updates bit, to indicate outstanding changes to the clipping settings.

The IP lowers this bit at the next field boundary after a write to the COMMIT register.

0x0144 FIELD_COUNT RO Read this register to determine the output field index. The field index is reset to 0 following a change to the test pattern settings (address 0x0120 to 0x0128, and 0x0150). The field index increments at the end of each output field.
0x0148 CONTROL RW

Bit 0:Go bit.

Write 0 to this register to stop the test pattern generator at the end of the current frame. Write 1 to this register to start/restart output generation. This register initializes to 0 at start-up and no output fields are generated until after a write of 1 to this register.

0x014C COMMIT RW Only if Lite mode is off. The IP holds any changes to the test pattern settings via the register map pending until you issue a write to this register. The value you write is unimportant.
0x0150 PATTERN_SELECT RW Write to this register to select the pattern configuration used to generate the output. The value you write is the test pattern configuration index.
0x0154 Reserved RW Reserved.
0x0158 Reserved RW Reserved.
0x015C C0 RW Write to this register to set the value used for color plane 0 (B or Cb) by the constant color test pattern. The value in this register is ignored if no test pattern configurations use the constant color pattern.
0x0160 C1 RW Write to this register to set the value used for color plane 1 (G or Y) by the constant color test pattern. The value in this register is ignored if no test pattern configurations use the constant color pattern.
0x0164 C2 RW Write to this register to set the value used for color plane 2 (R or Cr) by the constant color test pattern. The value in this register is ignored if no test pattern configurations use the constant color pattern.
0x0168 BARS_SELECT RW Write to this register to set the variant of the bars pattern to use. Write 0 for color bars, 1 for greyscale bars, 2 for black and white bars and 3 for mixed bars. The value in this register is unused if no test pattern configurations use the bars pattern.
0x016C ZONE_X_ORIGIN RW Write to this register to set the X coordinate of the zone plate center. For example, write 960 to horizontally set the center of the zone plate to the middle of a 1920x1080 display.
0x0170 ZONE_Y_ORIGIN RW Write to this register to set the Y coordinate of the zone plate center. For example, write 540 to vertically set the center of the zone plate to the middle of a 1920x1080 display.
0x0174 ZONE_COARSE_FACTOR RW

This value is a rough scale up or down of the zone plate. A bigger value gives more zoom in of the zone plate.

Intel suggests a value of 14 for 1920x1080, or 20 for a 4k display.

0x0178 ZONE_FINE_FACTOR RW This value is a final fine tune scaling factor. It is a 16-bit unsigned fixed point number, with 8 bits fractional part. The IP implements this value as a constant k in f(kx) and applies it after ZONE_POWER_FACTOR), a bigger value, gives more zoom out of the zone plate.
0x017C CLOCK_B_BACKGROUND RW Write to this register to set the value for color plane 0 (B or Cb) by the digital clock pattern.
0x0180 CLOCK_G_BACKGROUND RW Write to this register to set the value for color plane 1 (G or Y) by the digital clock pattern.
0x0184 CLOCK_R_BACKGROUND RW Write to this register to set the value for color plane 2 (R or Cr) by the digital clock pattern.
0x0188 CLOCK_B_FONT RW Write to this register to set the value for color plane 0 (B or Cb) by the digital clock pattern.
0x018C CLOCK_G_FONT RW Write to this register to set the value for color plane 1 (G or Y) by the digital clock pattern.
0x0190 CLOCK_R_FONT RW Write to this register to set the value for color plane 2 (R or Cr) by the clock test pattern as the font color.
0X0194 CLOCK_LOCATION_X RW Write to this register to set the value for the x-coordinate of the top-left pixel of digital clock pattern.
0X0198 CLOCK_LOCATION_Y RW Write to this register to set the value for the y-coordinate of the top-left pixel of digital clock pattern.
0X019C CLOCK_SCALE_FACTOR RW Write to this register to set the value for scale factor of the font by the digital clock test pattern.
0X01A0 CLOCK_FPS RW Write to this register to set frames per second - 1 for the clock counter by digital clock pattern. This valjue does not affect the output video refresh rate.
