The alpha channel can be:
• kept as it is (no modification),
• replaced by the ALPHA[7:0] value of DMA2D_FGPFCCR/DMA2D_BGPFCCR,
• or replaced by the original alpha value multiplied by the ALPHA[7:0] value of
DMA2D_FGPFCCR/DMA2D_BGPFCCR divided by 255.
Note: To support the alternate format, the incoming alpha value can be inverted setting the AI bit
of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR/DMA2D_BGPFCCR registers. This applies also to the Alpha
value stored in the DMA2D_FGPFCCR/DMA2D_BGPFCCR and in the CLUT.
The R and B fields can also be swapped setting the RBS bit of the
DMA2D_FGPFCCR/DMA2D_BGPFCCR registers. This applies also to the RGB order used
in the CLUT and in the DMA2D_FGCOLR/DMA2D_BGCOLR registers.
12.3.5 DMA2D foreground and background CLUT interface
The CLUT interface manages the CLUT memory access and the automatic loading of the
CLUT.
Three kinds of accesses are possible:
• CLUT read by the PFC during pixel format conversion operation
• CLUT accessed through the AHB slave port when the CPU is reading or writing data
into the CLUT
• CLUT written through the AHB master port when an automatic loading of the CLUT is
performed
The CLUT memory loading can be done in two different ways:
• Automatic loading
The following sequence should be followed to load the CLUT:
a) Program the CLUT address into the DMA2D_FGCMAR register (foreground
CLUT) or DMA2D_BGCMAR register (background CLUT)
b) Program the CLUT size in the CS[7:0] field of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register
(foreground CLUT) or DMA2D_BGPFCCR register (background CLUT).
c) Set the START bit of the DMA2D_FGPFCCR register (foreground CLUT) or
DMA2D_BGPFCCR register (background CLUT) to start the transfer. During this
automatic loading process, the CLUT is not accessible by the CPU. If a conflict
