Can anyone help diagnose this? This code is supposed to create a bitclock, a HSYNC pulse and a VSYNC pulse with VGA timings. It is development in preparation for trying to drive an RGB TFT display which needs a bitclock. The bitclock runs at 25.1MHz The HSYNC runs at 31.5 MHz with a 3.8uS sync The VSYNC runs at 60Hz with a 63.5uS sync http://www.tinyvga.com/vga-timing/640x480@60Hz All this works fine except that when you trigger on VSYNC you will see that HSYNC is drifting relative to it whereas given that they should both be triggered nearly simultaneously by the separate irqs. The problem looks like the hysnc timing is overunning (or visa versa) but I can't see the problem, fiddling with the underrun fudge factor on the vsync numbers changes the drift but it should be locked and the fudge factor of 1000 clocks should not be critical I've been looking at this too long to see the wood for the trees. Help appreciated.
