      I saw that is possible to create personalized splash screen but I cant find any information on how to do that.
      Any help will be greatly appreciated

        I haven't yet got round to writing the instructions for that. Basically:

        1. Export your image file in 24-bit .bmp format with exactly the same height and width in pixels as the TFT panel;
        2. Run bmp2c-escher3d.exe on the file using options -b -c to generate a compressed version of it;
        3. Concatenate it on to the end of the -nologo version of the PanelDue firmware binary.

          Takes me back to hacking the Windows 98 startup screen.

            just to be sure, binary concatenation has to be used right?

            the matching windows command I found to do that is:

            [[language]]
            copy /b file1+file2+file3 targetfile

              Yes, I use copy /b to do this.

                I have added instructions to the readme file at https://github.com/dc42/PanelDueFirmware.

                  Sweet! Thank you David.

                  I have a 7" PanelDue with the 256kb memory chip on a V2 board. Is there a V2 7" no logo.bin version that I can down load or do I have to build my own?

                  I mean a PanelDue-v2-7.0-nologo.bin version?

                    All the -v2- files are without logo.

                      @dc42:

                      All the -v2- files are without logo.

                      I missed that before. So any for a V2 board versions will have to be built from scratch.

                        No, you can use the -v2- files as they are.

                          Hi David, there is a little typo in the readme.md:
                          "Run this Windows command to compress the image: bmp2c-escher3d.exe myimage.bmp myimage.bin /b /c"
                          instead of:
                          "Run this Windows command to compress the image: bmp2c-escher3d.exe myimage.bmp myimage.bin -b -c"

                              Sorry how to run copy /b file1+file2 targetfile ?
                              Im using Windows + R to open the command terminal then write g:\ copy /b file1+file2 targetfile
                              because my files are in both in drive G but when hitting enter it only open the G:\ folder
