Hi,

I'm using ESD and sometimes fonts or ESD_images are truncated when I'm doing slide animations.
I've localized where is the problem:
In file Esd_Render_Bitmap.c:

void Esd_CoDl_Bitmap_Vertex(int16_t x, int16_t y, uint8_t handle, uint16_t cell)
{
   EVE_HalContext *phost = Esd_GetHost();
   if ((EVE_CHIPID >= EVE_FT810) && (x < 0 || y < 0 || x >= 512 || y >= 512))
   {
      EVE_CoDl_vertexFormat(phost, 0);
      EVE_CoDl_bitmapHandle(phost, handle);
      Esd_CoDl_PagedBitmapSource(handle, cell >> 7);
      EVE_CoDl_cell(phost, cell & 0x7F);
      EVE_CoCmd_dl(phost, VERTEX2F(x, y));
     }
   else
   {
      Esd_CoDl_PagedBitmapSource(handle, cell >> 7);
      EVE_CoCmd_dl(phost, VERTEX2II(x, y, handle, cell));
   }
}

When I comment VERTEX2II part of code, bitmap are not truncated, otherwise I loose bottom of the bitmap randomly with slide animations.

How can we explain this? Is something missing in dl commands?

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

Could you please let me know how large of a bitmap you are trying to place on the screen and at what screen position (X and Y value) you are placing it.

The VERTEX2II function can only render images to X=511 and Y=511 on the screen, so I suspect the code is dropping into the else section inadvertatnly.

I have a screen of 480x272 i'm using a picture at x,y,h,w=4,10,36,36.
Screen is sliding of 240 to the left so only x is varying to -236.

The thing is why draw an element which is out of the screen?
if I draw only the visible part I have not the problem so I use vertex2ii

For fonts it's another problem that I must find.

Hello,

Are you displaying the image within a ESD Scroll Image?

What issue are you seeing with fonts? is this a built-in font or a custom font added to the project?

It is a font added to the project. I'm using scroll panel but in a another screen. It's like a scissor would be applied on the font whereas i'm not using this.

As you see in attached, i'm using ESD label in linear layouts.

I have a main screen where font is used. When I slide the screen to the right a new screen that using scroll panel appears from the left, so at a moment font is displayed at the same time as scroll panel.
The slide is not done via scrool widget but with slide animations used by ev demo.

Hello,

I've attempted to recreate this behaviour in an ESD project btu haven't been successful currently.

Would you be able to share a cut down version of your application which shows this issue?

Hi, no I can't.

Fonts and pictures can rarely but randomly be glitched. I've localized and reproduced the cause.
It's in file Esd_GpuAlloc.c. If I change address of an AllocEntries it corrupt font or picture in RAM_G (this is normal, but what is the cause?).
So it can be a pb in the algorithm of esd allocation or maybe ram overwrite in my app.
I've also set safe defragmentation macro added in v4.11 but this increase a lot chances to have glitches.
Safe defragmentation doesn't work for me.
I use also gradient widget which require alloc/dealloc when it is displayed/not displayed.

Hello,

Yes, from the screenshots previously provided it appears as if there may be an overwrite of assets happening in RAM_G.

If the address for the asset has been altered this will cause EVE to attempt to render the asset from the wrong RAM_G location. For example if you have a 100kB image file at RAM_G +0 and you move the allocation to RAM_G+500 the resulting display code will still attempt to render data from RAM_G+0 thus causing corruption in the image.

Do you still experience similar issue in ESD 4.15?
