Hi Jonathan,
Glad you got it working and thanks for the tip on ESP32,

Hello,

That's an interesting question, I can't think of a way to do that in the text command.

As you said, probably inserting a newline and hyphen is one of the best solutions.

You can get the width of each character too if you want to add up the length of the string and you can then work out where to put the newline so that it fits best into your text box. We have some examples of getting the font width values which we can send or post.
Are you using unicode custom fonts for your text?

Hi,

When you convert an image to ASTC using the EVE Asset Builder, the raw output file should be used to load into EVE. Sorry for the confusion, we'll check the manual to ensure that this is clear.

When you load a JPG or PNG image into EVE, you can either (1) convert them to a raw format such as ASTC or ARGB1555 or RGB556 using the Asset Builder or (2) you can load the actual data from the PNG or JPG file into EVE and use CMD_LOADIMAGE to decompress them to RAM_G as a format such as RGB565 or ARGB4444 depending on the source image.

In the second case, for example the bin2c tool in the Asset Builder is one way to take the .png file and turn it into an array of data.

ASTC is needed if you want to display an image direct from flash but ASTC and the other formats such as RGB565 etc. will work direct from RAM.

Hi,

Thanks for letting us know and it's great to hear that it works well.
Yes, the new HSF feature on BT817/8 is great. We are seeing more panels with non-square pixels now and so it makes it easy to use these with BT817/8. Glad you found it helpful,

Hello,
We have a porting guide at this link below which you can use to help port the output to other MCUs,

Hello,

The Raw data contained in RAM_DL for when the issue occurs would be preferable, as this would allow us to see exactly what EVE is trying to render.
It would also allow us to verify if there are any discrepancies between the expected data in RAM_DL and what is actually in RAM_DL.

There are a couple of this that may cause REG_DLSWAP to freeze on the value of 2:

• If the Display List itself contains an infinite loop (I think unlikely in this case), which could be caused by a JUMP /CALL instruction.
• OR if the display list contains no DISPLAY instruction. (this is likely if there is an issue with the RAM_DL write)
