I've ordered a Pi Pico from @PiPinout, along with an I2S Audio Pack. First project idea being a Pocket Drum Machine.

A BIG SUCCESS!

I've just found the right combination of #DisplayPort Transfer Unit (TU, aka "Packet Size") and Pixels per TU to allow standard 720p pixel clock down a single DP lane (and #FullHD down two lanes) - 40 bytes, with 11 pixel.

Life has become easy.... Sorry, just having a major #nerdgasm here.

I've been playing with #FPGA #DisplayPort and for a few years, and I have metaphorically found the keys to easy implementation of standard 720p & 1080p video while pulling weeds in the garden.
