Hi,

which VNC client are you using and have you set any options? And could you send me your LCDConf.c file?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Andy,

I suppose that the read function set for the GUIDRV_FlexColor is not working properly.

You could check this by filling the screen with a color and read it back with GUI_GetPixelIndex().

For example, fill the screen with GUI_RED and read back the first pixel at 0|0. GUI_GetPixelIndex() should return 0xF800 (with GUICC_M565).


Another solution might be to use a cached version of the driver. This way it doesn't need to read from the LCD controller but reads the pixel data from the cache. Of course, this would require some RAM (320x240x2 + some additional bytes). Since you have set ~800KB for emWin (in GUIConf.c) this should work.

Simply call

GUIDRV_FlexColor_SetFunc(pDevice, &PortAPI, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_F66720, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_M16C1B16);

instead of

GUIDRV_FlexColor_SetFunc(pDevice, &PortAPI, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_F66720, GUIDRV_FLEXCOLOR_M16C0B16);

in LCDConf.c.


Last thing you could try is to set a custom bunch of read functions by using LCD_SetDevFunc() and the commands LCD_DEVFUNC_READMPIXELS and LCD_DEVFUNC_READPIXEL. Please refer to the manual for more information on this.

Attached is an example configuration for the GUIDRV_FlexColor driver which makes use of LCD_SetDevFunc(). It is for a different controller but should work as some sort of template.

Hi,

Good to know that it is working with the cache enabled.

Not sure about the differences in regards of reading. With the cach enabled emWin does not need to read from the LCD controller, but reads from the cache instead. I suppose that something like the byte order of the hardware reading routines is not correct.

Enabling the cache will speed up the drawing process in most cases, too. First the data will be send only once and in one large block to the LCD controller. emWin will send only the smallest possible rectangle in which data has changed. Second, when it comes to reading back pixel data it is way faster to read from internal memory. Reading is required for mixing pixel colors (fore- and background) or sending data via VNC.
