Great to see your new module with Power Delivery support

We'll request our R&D team to update the DLL in our software tools to the latest one so that your PD-based will work and we'll let you know here when it is available,

Thanks for reporting this,

Best Regards, BRT Community

We just finalized a new USB to SPI communication board with the FT232HP so we can use PD! But the Asset Building does not see the FT232HP chip.

An updated ftd2xx.dll is needed in the Asset Builder.

The newest FTDI drivers is version 3.2.21.1
EVE Asset Builder is version 3.2.14.0

If you manually copy it in, it works.

Thanks again for your follow-up. I sent a download link for the VAN.mp4 video that's having conversion problems to the email address you provided. I'll be waiting for your response.

Best regards and Happy New Year!

Hello,

The SW team are requesting a copy of the source video for the conversion.
Would you be able to share a link to an upload of the video file or alternately email in a copy to support.emea@brtchip.com?

I've had some free time lately. I'm sharing the video processing results for version 4.0.1.

This is the content of the json file.

Since version 4.1.0 does not perform the conversion, no file with the JSON extension is generated. These are the processing results it generates.

Discussion - EVE / Re: FT81x with ST7789V
Last post by BRT Community - December 11, 2025, 11:37:52 AM
Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Quote from: ashrey on December 09, 2025, 06:05:55 PMAs the other thread asks, it also appears that the ST7789V needs to be configured via SPI before it will work in RGB mode, but then after that, SPI communications to the display are no longer needed, is that correct?

Yes, generally this is correct for such parts (but please verify the in the datasheet) that you would configure the display driver during boot, and once this ahs been completed you wouldn't communicate with it again. After which you can perform the FT81x initialization routine.

For reference, here is some example code that would be called for the ILI9488 configuration on the ME810A-HV35R:
https://github.com/Bridgetek/EveApps/blob/master/common/eve_hal/EVE_ILI9488_FT9XX.c

In regards to the configuration of parts such as the ST7789V, there are two approach's you can utilise.

  • The first approach would be to utilise the SPI interface on your MCU to perform the configuration, using a spare CS# signal.

As noted in the previous thread you can get an example of the hardware we use in the ME810A-HV35R datasheet.

But it would also be acceptable to use the approach you has suggested to MUX the CS# line to the ST7789V and the FT811 and control this via a GPIO.

  • The second approach would be to bit bang the configuration data from your MCU over spare GPIO pins if you have these available.

This would remove the need for the MUX IC if you have some spare GPIO pins available.
