MakerFabs 4.3 TFT support

[hallard]

I got a Makerfabs ESP32 S3 Parallel like this one

https://www.tindie.com/products/makerfabs/esp32-s3-parallel-tft-with-touch-43/

I already compiled and build my custom lvgldemo and platformio for this one and it works fine https://github.com/hallard/Makerfabs-LvglWidgetsDemo

So I wanted to give a try adding it to HASP and found there was already all files needed so I just added env for makerfabs-s3-tft43-rgb in my platformio_override.ini

Compiled and flashed, all works except lot of artifacts on display like sync issues.

So I checked with my setup and changed in makerfabs-s3-tft4x-rgb.ini

    -D TFT_HSYNC_POLARITY=0
    -D TFT_HSYNC_FRONT_PORCH=48   ; Maximum HSYNC Front Porch
    -D TFT_HSYNC_PULSE_WIDTH=4    ; Typical HSYNC Pulse Width
    -D TFT_HSYNC_BACK_PORCH=16    ; Typical HSYNC Back Porch
    -D TFT_VSYNC_POLARITY=0
    -D TFT_VSYNC_FRONT_PORCH=12   ; Maximum VSYNC Front Porch
    -D TFT_VSYNC_PULSE_WIDTH=4    ; Typical VSYNC Pulse Width
    -D TFT_VSYNC_BACK_PORCH=4    ; Typical VSYNC Back Porch
    -D TFT_PCLK_ACTIVE_NEG=1
    -D TFT_PREFER_SPEED=14000000  ; 1/2 of Typical DCLK Frequency

by my working setup just in case.

    -D TFT_HSYNC_POLARITY=0
    -D TFT_HSYNC_FRONT_PORCH=48   ; Maximum HSYNC Front Porch
    -D TFT_HSYNC_PULSE_WIDTH=48   ; Typical HSYNC Pulse Width
    -D TFT_HSYNC_BACK_PORCH=88    ; Typical HSYNC Back Porch
    -D TFT_VSYNC_POLARITY=0
    -D TFT_VSYNC_FRONT_PORCH=13   ; Maximum VSYNC Front Porch
    -D TFT_VSYNC_PULSE_WIDTH=3    ; Typical VSYNC Pulse Width
    -D TFT_VSYNC_BACK_PORCH=32    ; Typical VSYNC Back Porch
    -D TFT_PCLK_ACTIVE_NEG=1
    -D TFT_PREFER_SPEED=16000000  ; 1/2 of Typical DCLK Frequency

But issue stil there.

I noticed web inteface very slow so network that may slow down display and may be the artifact issues.

I built from master config is as follow

Any idea why this issue so I can do some tests to check?

We're so close to get it working, worth fixit it :-)

Received today 2 Sunton, one 5" and one 7" and add exactly the same issue

After lot on investigations, I got it all (including 4.3 one) working.

The deal is the incorrect flash mode for Sunton S3 (may be other) it SHOULD be set to dio so added this mode into file sunton-esp32-s3-tft.ini as follow (may be it's not the best place but now it works).

board_build.flash_mode = dio

looks like that after change

Is this issue about the MakerFabs 4.3 TFT support or the Sunton S3?

Solved both sunton and makerfabs on my side
