PicassoII+ jumpers:


Jumper# Description DEFAULT
JP301 If you are using a very good monitor, it might be helpful for the picture quality to use a so-called BNC cable employing a seperate coax cable for the red, green and blue colour components and the sync impulses.
In this, there are monitors expecting a combined HSync/VSync signal (also known as Composite Sync) on one line. You will have to change this jumper for this.
Usally, this jumper is open. Please change this jumper so that both contacts are connected.
When defining your own resolutions using PicassoMode while the jumper is set you will always have to make sure HSync and YSync polarity are set to Negative.
OPENED
JP302 If this jumper is closed (default setup) applications can make use of the DPMS feature. Opening the jumper disables DPMS feature altogether. CLOSED
JP401 If there is no area of 2 MBytes available to the PicassoII+, you will have to take a detour. Instead of mounting memory in one piece, only a small fraction is mirrored into the so-called I/O range. To do so, the video memory is split up into small segments. To do so, you have to put it on the first two pins (as seen from the left hand side: pins 1 + 2)
To limit the size of the video memory to 1 MByte, remove the jumper and put it on the last two pins (as seen from the left hand side: pins 2 + 3)
In the defualt configuration, none of the three pins are connected. With this setup the video memory will be configured as one contiguous block of 2 MByte.
OPENED
