I presume I should be able to explicitly mux in the GPIO function and
configure that to output low. But I am not able to find anything in the
data sheet that would indicate this to be preferred.

Yes, coming out of reset this pin is configured as input, so switching
the mux here will effectively start driving the pin.

Yes, that makes sense.

Ahh, you're right! Thanks!

Right and that defines the lower limit for the period, something I don't
handle as this is currently written.

What do I do about the case where the actual period is lower than the
requested one and thereby the duty cycle becomes larger than the period?

E.g. passing duty_cycle = period = 1,000,000 with a frequency of 3333334
results in a scale of 3332 and duty cycle (over the actual period) of
3333.

I don't see anything indicating in the documentation indicating that
these writes would be buffered or similar. Unfortunately, as I said
earlier I don't have any way to access the signal to see for myself.

Together with the adjustment of the -1 above I can confirm that we get
something that PWM_DEBUG is happy with (over a larger range of tests
input than I previously tested...)

I came to the same conclusion - i.e. that this looks wrong.

As states above, the period of the PWM is:

pre_div * scale + 1
-------------------
refclk

or:

T_refclk * (pre_div * scale + 1)

Which I interpret as us having two nested counters ticking based on
refclk. Once we hit pre_div * scale the counter resets, which takes 1
refclk pulse.

But then the duty cycle is described as:

BACKLIGHT / (BACKLIGHT_SCALE + 1)

which I would say looks like the signal is high pre_div * BACKLIGHT
steps and then it resets at pre_div * (BACKLIGHT_SCALE + 1).

So I don't know what's going on here.


I will take another look tomorrow on why, but the including the + 1 in
the denominator seems to be necessary to keep the duty cycle
idempotent...
