==== UART ====

Controls physical UART connection.

^ Address        ^ Description     ^
| ''0xD01202F0'' | UART1_RX_SELECT_CONFIG |
| ''0xD01202F4'' | UART1_TX_SELECT_CONFIG |
| ''0xD01302F0'' | UART1_RX_SELECT_MASK   |
| ''0xD01302F4'' | UART1_TX_SELECT_MASK   |


''UART'' is connected to physical ICU UART on external debug connector. Handled by ''uart_change'' command on drysh.

''0x0'' selects ICU (DryOS on ARM core), ''0x2'' for CCLIME (DryOS on Xtensa core, network).

Registers used by ''DispVram'' State object to control overexposure highlighting feature.

Different addresses and slightly different values than Digic 6/7, but capabilities are very similar.

__It is possible to have independent zebras configured on LCD and HDMI while running in Clean HDMI mode!__

===Note on directly writing the registers===
Directly writing some registers doesn't work (values are overridden). On R170.739 that happens for HDMI enable register, but this seems to differ from model to model. See [[digic6:registers|DIGIC 6 Register Map:]] for more info.

TL;DR is that you need to find (via xrefs / static code analysis) where reg value is stored, and update that memory address instead.

===Enable register===

''reg & 0x100'' controls if highlight is enabled or not.

Value written should be masked ''0x100'' with one read from ''reg + 0x2000''

This register lies in **Display registers** range and most likely has more meanings.

===Threshold / style register===

<code>
**** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****
*... .... .... .... .... .... .... .... visibility (on/off)
..** .... .... .... .... .... .... .... stripes move speed (0-3)
.... ...* .... .... .... .... .... .... stripes angle (45 / -45 deg)
.... .... ..** .... .... .... .... .... stripes style
.... .... .... .*** .... .... .... .... stripes opacity
.... .... .... .... **** **** .... .... threshold (underexpo)
.... .... .... .... .... .... **** **** threshold (overexpo)
</code>

Value written should be masked ''0xB137FFFF'' with one read from ''reg + 0x2000''

^ Field        ^ Range ^ Description ^
| visibility   | 0,1   | zebra visibility (do not confuse with Enable register)  |
| speed        | 0-3   | lines/dots are moving slower -> faster                  |
| angle        | 0-1   | 0: 45 deg, 1: -45 deg                                   |
| style        | 0-2   | 0: light dots, 1: thin lines, 2: thick lines            |
| opacity      | 0-7   | very opaque -> solid color                              |
| underexpo_th | 0-255 | Threshold on undexexpo register, ignored on overexpo    | 
| overexpo_th  | 0-255 | Threshold on overexpo register, ignored on underexpo    |

**Note: On HDMI max threshold is 0xE8** Values above that are not displayed!

===Color register===

Controls color of highlight overlays. ''??YYUUVV'' format. Canon code defaults to black (''00008080'')

===More registers===

<del>Code suggests there are more registers:</del>
The statement was wrong, those registers are likely to control other hardware effects. More testing has to be done to confirm. 

^ Output ^ Reg       ^ Addresses                 ^ Range   ^
| HDMI   | Enable    | ''0xD0300520 + 0x30 * n'' | n∈⟨0,7⟩ |
| LCD    | Enable    | ''0xD0304220 + 0x30 * n'' | n∈⟨0,7⟩ |
| HDMI   | Threshold | ''0xD0300750 + 0x8  * m'' | m∈⟨0,5⟩ |
| HDMI   | Color     | ''0xD0300754 + 0x8  * m'' | m∈⟨0,5⟩ |
| LCD    | Threshold | ''0xD0304488 + 0x8  * m'' | m∈⟨0,5⟩ |
| LCD    | Color     | ''0xD030448C + 0x8  * m'' | m∈⟨0,5⟩ |

n values above 0 and m values above 1 are not understood. There's no visible difference on screen.

For ''m > 1'' Threshold registers accept both under and overexposure thresholds at the same time, but since those have no visible effects on displayed image - meaning is unknown.

Guess: maybe ''m > 1'' are in use for 10 bit / HDR mode?
