With the BT81x supporting ASTC, is there any simple viewer for ASTC images available to inspect images before using them?
And by simple I mean with at least a zoom function and the ability to check the palette.
Speaking of ASTC, your "BRT_AN_033_BT81X_Series_Programming_Guide.pdf" does state chapter 4.12 "BITMAP_SOURCE" that "only bitmap data of ASTC specific format can be rendered directly from flash".
But in the chapter 5.72 "CMD_SETBITMAP" which kind of replaced "BITMAP_SOURCE" with the FT81x, this limitation is not mentioned. On the contrary it suggests that there is no such limitation.
And speaking of the external FLASH, going thru the documentation it is totally unclear what this binary blob in the first block of the flash is used for and how it is created, there is no explanation of it at all.
It does not even mention that this is the first block.
Chapter 5.81 "CMD_FLASHFAST"
Error Code 0xE004: "device/blob mismatch – was correct blob loaded?"
This is the only line in both the Programming Guide and the Datasheet that mentions this "blob".
Does "CMD_FLASHERASE" create this "blob"?
Or does it avoid erasing the "blob"?
If "CMD_FLASHERASE" clears out the whole FLASH including the "blob" and the "blob" has to be in place in order
to set the flash in FLASH_STATE_FAST for rendering of images from FLASH - where is the information on how to setup such a "blob" correctly?
And if we are supposed to depend on the EVE Asset Builder for this, fine, but then please put some more effort into it and update it every couple weeks untill it is ready for a 1.0 release.
