Here lies some random pieces of information that may make it easier to understand the code base
Notes:
Power supply must be 5V for proper operation of the board!
KNOWN ISSUES:
Cube is occasionally flickering to ~60Hz. Need to figure out why.
>= 400MHz I2C1 doesn't seem to work very well the controllers
PERIPHERAL USAGE:
SPI1 - Used by the cube code to send data to the cube
SPI4 - Unused
I2C1 - Used by the controller code
TIMER2 - Used by PWM2
TIMER4 - Used by the cube code for the overlay rotation interrupt / controllers
TIMER5 - Used by the cube code for the update layer interrupt
UART1 - Used by the cube code for reading in frame data
PWM2 - Generates a constant ~20MHz output, uses TIMER2
ETHERNET - Used to remote-update the cube
PERIPHERAL INTERRUPT PRIORITY LEVELS:
IPL1 = lowest, IPL7 = highest priority
SPI1 - Priority 6, Subpriority 1
SPI4 - Priority 6, Subpriority 2
I2C1 - Priority 5, Subpriority 2
TIMER5 - Priority 4, Subpriority 1
