Turning a Raspberry Pi Pico into a GPU!

[@Rich-ll8ce]

I made a project using a Pico as HDMI generator, my Samsung TV needed the 5v before it would allow me select the HDMI input. (My monitors work fine without the 5v)

The term GPU was introduced by Nvidia as a marketing term for GeForce 256 because it was a vector processor. Before that we had "3D accelerators" (with no geometry math) and "video cards" (usually with GDI and overlay acceleration). But there was another unit before officially called the GPU, it was the video subsystem of the original PlayStation. So I think until it does at least 3D, it's just a PPU or VDP or whatever.

[@Stabby666]

It's funny you used the ZX81 as an example, as that machine actually used the Z80 processor to generate the display without a dedicated display chip. It had a shift register and some logic chips, but when it was time to generate the frame, the Z80 would be fed NOP instructions, so it would just increment the value on its address bus and that, plus the 74 series logic would clock out the pixels. It's actually a very cool hack!

[@MAYERMAKES]

the zx81 is a fascinating machine in its simplicity, the one I showed was heavily moded back inthe day by the previous owner, i hope to one day get it working and find out what al lthese mods did.

I recommend you put a pair of psrams and a mux on the PCIe board. That way you can port the Pimoroni PicoVision to this PCI system and have a frame buffer. In their system, the GPU Pico has no flash and is programmed via JTAG from the CPU Pico.

8:30 “Is it a GPU?” Well, at least a GIU - ‘Graphics Interface Unit”, not really processing so much… I guess it is _translating_ its input to something viewable on a screen, like bitmaps of ASCII character set, and timing-generating the expected compound signal? Some load taken off the tiny ESP32 impersonating a dedicated CPU… 🤓

[@MAYERMAKES]

yes as long as it just executes pre determined commands its more an oldschool graphics adapter like a GIU..the things that would make it a gpu would be if it can on its own determine these commands... but a fitting way of doing graphics....it will be two microcontrollers cosplaying as a single board computer..like the two kids in a trenchcoat.

[@RadicDotkey]

So how many times per second will you be able to push a 240p 24bit frame buffer through pcie i2c at 1MHz? If my calculations are right less than 1fps which is a bit underwhelming? Am I correct?

[@MAYERMAKES]

no idea haven´t made aframebuffer yet, but i2c is restricted to 1mhz. So I would not expect very high framerates, but you´d also only need to transfer new info not hte whole picture to render so the result is not predictable for me atm. For sure there are people much better at programmign than me so I can´t even make an educated guess on framerate

Hmm... would be cool do some kind of old school (GPU like stuff)... 1 of the processor could emulate the hardware for example of the Amiga with fixed resolution (320*200 NTSC or 320*256 PAL) with really optimized assembler (128 colors, you might getaway with 32k emulator and the rest is a framebuffer=100k) (Blitter, and copper and other stuff) and then with the leftover (100k?) the other processor runs a ported AROS Amiga libraries that has some stuff for computing and drawing to the "buffer" with modern addons ofc (basic 3D stuff Voodoo)... Then the "computer" side which could also be ESP32 kind of thing could run a mini miniGL sort of thing. Or just make the smallest rasterizer with 1 processor and then make a custom fit "GPU" with the other processor with all the RAM left over... then do some sort of graphics library that would fit... and make sense But the "dream" would be make use of both processors and make it so if connect 2 ESP32's (Pico Pi variants) it does everything just a bit faster... and you could just "SLI" with more Pico Pi's... but that would be a serious undertaking... fun... and maybe if done right, it could be the bomb... because the basic concept then could be transferred to a sellable product... getting a "daughterboard" GPU for you computer and then add just mass produced (+2 Ghz) cheapish arms processors cards get your GPU (with the exact driver) a bit faster... I do wonder what lets say a 16 cheap ARM SoCS (quad core with cheap GPU cores) connected the best way possible and shared lets say 6 GB fast RAM (but cheap again)... and with a controller (also a ARM processor) could do with a driver that built for the purpose... lets say it only does 1080p and this driver knows what it has and how to achieve it best way possible. I guess you could do some "SLI" thing or PowerVR might be even better... 64 general processors could make the driver updates fun (someone will in the end will do every trick possible and lets say the cheapish arm SoCS has 2 GPU cores... so 32 GPU cores... so they have to deal with a 60*33 pixel square in the best case... I think that would be really cheap very upgradeable "GPU" and do at least as good as lets say a 10 year old GPU... with some tricks (because of all the general purpose CPU's) it could probably be a bit futureproof... The GPU i'm sitting on atm is pretty much 10 years old... and it's pretty much fixed in stone it seems... but a card like this "dream" card would be software upgradable much more then this... and people would love to tinker with it... all opensource... Maybe get manufacturer to get perfect "ARM" spec, maybe cheapish GPU design SoC that has more GPU power and less general purpose CPU... like dual CPU and quad GPU if that would make it better.. But I guess it all has to to with connectivity (fastest possible way every SoC has access to RAM) and then some software wizardry (but if that software wizardry is opensource, it will find "life" and get really cool I think... and if it's done right the possibility is endless... We really need "GPU's" today that are not that pricey but still can run stuff... and has upgradeability... I think... a good framework for "PowerVR"/SLI kind of stuff that works... Then the fun can begin :-)
