Scart/VGA interface for Raspberry Pi 400

Evolution of VGA_Zero (https://github.com/llegoff/VGA_Zero) and Pi400VGA (https://github.com/llegoff/Pi400VGA)

DPI (Display parallel Interface)

Like VGA666, this pcb uses dpi interface (in mode 6 to free gpio 18 & 19)

see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/dpi/README.md

only the necessary bits of the dpi are redirected to the 40-pin GPIO port, with the 'gpio=2-9,12-17,20-25=a2' line on config.txt

Audio Interface

audio interface is connected to gpio 18 & 19 (PWM)

/boot/config.txt

# Enable audio for PiZero(loads snd_bcm2835)
dtoverlay=audremap,pins_18_19
dtparam=audio=on

Recalbox

edit the config file /crt/recalbox-crt-options.cfg in the [RECALBOX] partition mounted when you plug the SD card in your computer:

see manual : https://www.recalbox.com/recalbox-rgb-dual/manual/

edit the config file /crt/recalbox-crt-options.cfg

# Pour recalboxrgbdual
adapter.type = recalboxrgbdual

the first boot can take 5 minutes
