Thanks to the help I've been getting, I've almost got my layout
working. The only remaining problem seems to be that the footer
automatically inserts some whitespace above my framed text. The intent
is for it to be flush to the top of the footer.

What do I need to change?


\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=black]
\setuppapersize[letter]

\setuplayout
  [ location=doublesided,
    marking=on,
    topspace=1cm,       % space at top of page
    bottomspace=1cm,    % space at bottom of page
    backspace=2cm,      % spine side of page
    cutspace=1cm,       % outer side of page
    header=0cm,
    footer=2cm,
    bottom=2cm,
    margin=0cm,
    width=middle,
    height=middle,
  ]

\newbox\FootBox
\setbox\FootBox=\hbox
  { \framed
      [ align=right,
        frame=off,
        topframe=on,
        width=\textwidth,
        offset=none,
        framecolor=blue,
      ]
      {\bf \tfxx datasheet:}
  }

\setuplayout[footer=\dimexpr\ht\FootBox+\dp\FootBox]
\setupfootertexts[{\copy\FootBox}]

\starttext
\showframe[text]
test
\stoptext
