Timing and the idea for the voltage divider is from:

Timing
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Since the Ingenic CPUs take about 8.5 PCLK cycles for a GPIO set or clear,
|
|
and we can only set or clear a set of signals in GPIO operation, but not
|
|
set some and clear others, we cannot have a real 320 horizontal pixels.
|
|
|
|
Instead, set and clear operations alternate. This means that the best-case
|
|
resolution is equivalent to 320 pixels (if the original pixel boundaries
|
|
coincide with the set/clear phases), but it can be as low as 160 pixels if
|
|
the boundaries don't match.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, timing is still a bit too tight. We therefore use a pixel
|
|
clock that's about 10% slower than the original. Luckily, most monitors
|
|
don't mind.
