General Discussion / Re: RST and AN configuration API
« on: April 21, 2021, 04:34:47 PM »
Hello Aneesh,

Note that this is the community forum for Bridgetek, not FTDI.
The FTDI community forum can be found here:

https://www.ftdicommunity.com/

Anyway the reset pin is usually controlled by hardware.
It's active low so pulling it low will put the device into reset and pulling it high will bring it out of reset.

What is the AN pin?

If you are looking for APIs see below.

Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC.  Application software can access the USB device in the same way as it would access a standard COM port.
D2XX drivers allow direct access to the USB device through a DLL.  Application software can access the USB device through a series of DLL function calls.  The functions available are listed in the D2XX Programmer's Guide document which is available from the Documents section of this site.

However, please note that FTDI have not produced a programmer's guide for VCP drivers due to the large amount of documentation available from Microsoft on serial communication.  Please refer to our Related Links page for more information.

Hello,

Thank you for the update, I am seeing this issue intermittently.

Could you give me the details of the machine you are testing on?

Also, would it be possible for you to try an installation on an alternative machine?

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. I will pass to our R&D team for consideration.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback, I will strive to get the datasheet updated accordingly, and I have chased up the developers again for your previous points.

Hello,

The developers are struggling to recreate this issue.

I believe it may be related to multiple iterative installations of ESD on the same PC.

Can I get you to try uninstalling ESD and deleting the 'EVE Screen Designer' folder from Documents, then re-installing ESD 4.12 onto your machine?

Please let me know if this helps.

BRT Community

Hello Tristan,

Thank you for giving that a try.

I have managed to reproduce the error you are seeing and I have passed this onto the ESD developers for investigation.

I will reply as soon as I have a response from them.

Hello,

These are known limitations.

ESD label is not providing the support to all the parameters from hardware commands.

We will work on this in future.

Discussion - EVE / Re: Customized font for text via vertex2ii
« on: April 13, 2021, 03:36:16 PM »
Hi,

You can either use the SetFont2 on each list,   or you can also do it within a separate command list near the beginning of the application and this will assign the font to the handle. You can then just use the handle number after that in subsequent co-processor/display lists.   

In this latter case, you can create a short list for each font to be loaded in the same part of the code where you load the font data. Even though this is just to set up the font and won't display it, you do still need the CMD_DLSTART before the CMD_SETFONT2 and to finish with DISPLAY and SWAP as with a normal list.
 
The BRT_AN_042 file should be a PDF but there may be some kind of issue accessing the FTP. If you would like us to email you a copy you can email us at support.emea@brtchip.com and we'll send a copy,

Best Regards, BRT Community

Hello Rudolph,

There is some pseudo code in the programmers guide which covers how the address's are calculated:

Code: [Select]
struct xfont {
 uint32_t signature,
 uint32_t size,
 uint32_t format,
 uint32_t swizzle,
 uint32_t layout_width,
 uint32_t layout_height,
 uint32_t pixel_width,
 uint32_t pixel_height,
 uint32_t start_of_graphic_data;
 uint32_t gptr[];
 uint32_t wptr[];
};
uint32_t cp_address(xfont *xf, uint32_t cp)
{
 uint32_t bytes_per_glyph;
 bytes_per_glyph = xf->layout_width * xf->layout_height;

 if (xf->start_of_graphic_data >= 0x800000)
 //if the graphic data is in flash
 return (xf->start_of_graphic_data +
 xf->gptr[cp / 128] +
 bytes_per_glyph * (cp % 128) / 32);
 else
 //if the graphic data is in RAM_G
 return (xf->start_of_graphic_data +
 xf->gptr[cp / 128] +
 bytes_per_glyph * (cp % 128));
}
uint32_t cp_width(xfont *xf, uint32_t cp)
{
 return *(
 (uint8_t*)xf +
 xf->wptr[cp / 128] +
 (cp % 128));
}

I am still trying to clarify the other issues with the developers.

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification, in this case the variable will be part of page structure, if page structure is freed, the variable will be reset.

Generally we would advise using a MCU variable to store the value of any toggle witches you wish to remain persistent across several pages.

Hi Torsten,

Yes, you can use Vertex2ii to display font characters as cells of a bitmap.

DL_START()
CLEAR(1, 1, 1) 
CMD_SETFONT2(5, 0, 32)   // handle 5
BEGIN(BITMAPS)
VERTEX2II(282, 243, 5, 0x32) // uses the ASCII/ANSI offset,    displays the number "2"
DISPLAY
SWAP

These won't take account of the character spacings however and so if printing more than one character you will need to adjust the X coordinate to space them.

We have some more advanced examples in this application note below which use the same principle but also check the font widths and so these might be useful,

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

Can you just clarify if you are using an ESD global variable or a global variable within your MCU to store the dark mode state of the page?
