; This module manages the communication between Pat80 and
; the video adapter.
; INTERNAL POINTER:
; Internally, the last screen position is represented by 24 bits in two registers:
; POS_COARSE: Register Y (16-bit, r31 and r30): Coarse position. Points to one of the chunks
; (character columns). 52 chunks per row, 304 rows. Used for character position, as
; 1 chunk = 1 byte = 1 character.
; POS_FINE: Register r24: Fine position. Represents the bit inside the chunk selected by POS_COARSE.
; Ignored in character mode (the character is always aligned to column). Used in graphic mode.
; Initializes and waits for a byte on PORTB
comm_init:
call cursor_pos_home ; Set cursor to 0,0
comm_wait_byte:
in A, DATA_PORT_IN ; read PORTB
; Check continuously CLK until a LOW is found
sbic PORTD, CLK_PIN
jmp comm_wait_byte
; CLK triggered: Copy PORTB to the next framebuffer byte
st Y+, A
; if reached the last framebuffer byte, exit cycle
cpi r31, 0b00111110
brne comm_wait_byte ; if not 0, repeat h_picture_loop
cpi r30, 0b11000000
brne comm_wait_byte ; if not 0, repeat h_picture_loop
jmp comm_init ; filled all memory: reset framebuffer position
