@whitequark I get 24 bits for RGB, and two for H and V sync. But what are the other two for?

@thejpster one is DE (data enable)

@whitequark

> TTL level input. This includes: 8 Red, 8 Green, 8 Blue and 4 control lines- FPLINE, FPFRAME, and DRDY (also referred to as HSYNC, VSYNC, Data Enable)

Ah yes, those four control lines.

@thejpster iirc the last bit is just zero

@whitequark hmm. you could do a lot with a ~75 Mbit/sec uni-directional side-channel.

@thejpster yeah, some vendors probably put audio into it or something

iCE40 for example:

@whitequark for a moment I thought this was talking about interfacing LVDS directly to GDDRx (e.g. GDDR5) and I was mightily confused.
