Driving the databus GPIO pins using the VideoCore as a second processor is a really clever hack, especially on the single-core Pi Zero. I guess it's logical that the GPIO can be driven by the GPU in this architecture but I never really thought to do it before.
- onesun 9y agoCame to say this. I wonder if this hack is widely known, because it seems like this is a pretty clever way to use the Pi Zero in some applications that would be better served with a multi-core processor and don't require the GPU for video tasks. Hacking the Pi Zero to be a dual-core system essentially.
