Instruction for custom splash screen
-
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.
-
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"
-
Thanks, I've corrected it.

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
-
Ok got it, I have to use CMD terminal, navigate to the G drive and then execute the command
