firmware: double-buffer the panel + zero-copy decode → ~22 fps ceiling
Per-frame paint cost drops from ~24 ms to ~45 µs (≈500× faster) by
enabling num_fbs=2 on the DPI panel and decoding straight into the
back framebuffer. Measured on the bench:
before: lock=7us ttfb=370us body=40ms dec=6ms paint=24ms post=35us = ~70ms / ~14fps
after : lock=7us ttfb=330us body=38ms dec=6ms paint=42us post=25us = ~45ms / ~22fps
How the win actually lands:
- num_fbs=2 in the esp_lcd_dpi_panel_config_t makes the IDF driver
allocate two framebuffers and stream from one while we fill the
other.
- display_back_buffer() returns the inactive fb pointer + its size.
- jpeg_decoder_decode() now accepts a caller-provided destination
buffer instead of owning its own scratch. http_api passes the panel
back-fb so the hardware JPEG decoder writes BGR888 pixels straight
into where the DSI will eventually scan from. Zero memcpy in the
hot path.
- display_flip_back_buffer() calls esp_lcd_panel_draw_bitmap with the
fb pointer. Because the buffer is inside the panel's own fb range,
the IDF driver skips its memcpy and just does a cache writeback +
swaps cur_fb_index. The actual flip happens on the next vsync,
asynchronously — the call returns in microseconds.
The remaining ceiling is network body time (~38 ms for ~210 KB JPEGs)
and the hardware decoder (~6 ms). Per-viewport JPEG quality (smaller
files = shorter body) is the next lever; everything firmware-side is
already at or near floor.
Also drop the old static jpeg output scratch + JPEG_DECODER_MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES
constant — nothing references them anymore.
