SLCD43, SLCD+, SLCD6 Application Firmware RELEASE NOTES To contact Technical Support please email: techsupport@reachtech.com. VERSION 2.9.15 Interim Release (changes since version 2.9.0): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - added support for flash banking; command to set bank is xmb; not volatile for now to avoid EEPROM issue - added new make targets for Innolux 4.3" panel with new SLCD43 board.- fixed Incident #1264 ('w' command doesn't work immediately after a button is touched); problem caused by wvr() using gpTimer, wvr() gets called just before the button's bitmap gets updated. - capturing WIP fixing Defect #420 (Macro Notify query) - capturing changes to optimize updating data blob (only erase and program changed sectors). - implemented Chart Features #182, 184, 185 - added "get" function to "p" command - fixed SGD 3.5" with SLCD+, timing was off by 1 pixel H and V - fixed special debounce handling for sliders; made tracing of touch state machine and/or wvr() optional; each can be separately enabled with its own #define; increased size of trace buffer. - fixed Defect #383: ensured all sscanf()'s use field length limits when scanning into a char buffer; fixed those that didn't. - fixed output formatting to allow field width and precision specifiers to be 2 digits each, 1-79 (80 is buf limit of string vars; need room for \0) See Incident #1024. - added *EEC command to reset all of EEPROM to 0xFF (erased state) - added 'b' parameter to "ain#" commands to output the rx'd data in binary, preceded by a byte indicating the number of data bytes to follow - added build option lb043_emi; turns off U6 osc. and changes pixel clock to 22/2 = 11MHz (22/3=7.3MHz out of spec for LB043). SLCD43 only. - fixed SLCD+ Hitachi 5.7 Portrait HC build. VERSION 2.9.0 Production Release (changes since version 2.8.25): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - added variables "e0"-"ef", to access USER EEPROM data locations 0x0-0xF - imported new variable expansion and math processing from SLCD5 - added support for a ":default" label in macros - added support for 3.5" display (SGD35) - added "bcv" command (Binary Chart Value) - added "*speedtest" command - fixed meterDefineBand() to draw full band in background color before drawing initial band - fixed 'xa' command to not generate an error when called with no macro args - fixed "touch on/off" so if a press is held throughout turning touch off, defining buttons, and turning touch back on, the touch will be ignored - fixed "xio" command to work properly with Origin - fixed macro arg bug (parsing quit after finding an empty string given as an arg) - fixed Origin bug in RT_Slider_Setup() - changed "xmc" timeout to 200 seconds (max spec, typical is 40) - changed VT from 325 to 280 for PrimeView and SGD panels VERSION 2.8.25 Interim Release (changes since version 2.8.8): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - fixed Defect #354 (*MFGRESET doesn't clear 2nd copy of EEPROM data) - fixed Defect #331 (increase macro arg storage capacity and mod "xa" command to output bytes available if no args) - Removed error for unrecognized Text Mode arg from "t" command, to maintain backwards compatibility - Implemented Feature 157 (allow a break in a chart line when cv is given a minus sign instead of a pen value) - fixed CHART DEFINE to give an error if a pen width is <1, and documented the max number of pens for a chart, the pen width range, and the new chart line-break behavior. - fixed "tm" command not reporting current text mode correctly after it's been changed by a text mode setting given to the "t" command. - fixed "tf" command (removed "tm" command, text mode does not persist after a yield; was always deleting animation 1) - implemented Feature #169 (add special form of xbbs command to allow exceeding min/max briteness limits). - fixed Defect #269 (Commands which only work on uncompressed bitmaps should indicate error) - fixed panel timings for new Kyocera 5.7 QVGA panel (TCG057QV1DB, old is TCG057QV1AB) - imported SLCD5 "typematic" command - fixed Macro Arg Storage assignMacroArgs() to properly reuse a storage slot (was overwriting end of storage) - imported SLCD5 implementation of "sc" - fixed "macro specified by index" case of *comwdt command - implemented "mpush" fixes from SLCD5 ver 1.2.28 code. - fixed DeleteAnimation(); was copying too many bytes and overwriting data past the end of anibuf. - fixed off by one bug in reporting of animation size. - fixed meter, meter with band commands to complain if bitmap is compressed. - fixed "label not found" bug (shows up in Reach Logo Bounce demo and in Fast Drawing demo on SLCD6 PrimeView Portrait) VERSION 2.8.8 (Defects) NA Fixed Incident #485 (unable to set slider to some values within its legal range) NA Fixed Incident #484 (block cursor char missing from some fonts) 343 Fixed Macro Argument processing NA Fixed Macro Arg Storage Management; added smart reuse of released storage VERSION 2.8.3 (Defects) NA Fixed button 0 release bug (release bitmap not drawn) 332 Fixed ("bd" cmd at end of macro label section causes next label to execute too) 286 Fixed (sending a chart values after the screen has been cleared "freezes" the display) NA Fixed "slider demo"; no longer allows brightness to go to 0, which makes screen all black. NA Fixed erase bug introduced in ver 1.2 of the BootLoader (only present in 2.8.0 release). VERSION 2.8.0 (Chronological order.

NA Fixed DEFINE TOUCH commands so all parameters are reset to defaults at the start of the command. 172 Fixed crash caused by trying to use a slider indicator bitmap that doesn't fit within the slider body bitmap. 181 Fixed TOUCH CALIBRATE command to reset origin to 0,0 before attempting the calibration. 210 Added new chart type to enable defining a STRIP chart that starts drawing on the right edge. 184 Fixed command parsing to handle comments at the end of a macro command line.

NA Reduced tearing in "xio" command with wait video refresh function. NA Intellidx bug: animation init called AFTER power-on macro, so any animation in that macro gets killed NA Added error messages for meter define arg errors NA Fixed bug in lsmac when external memory not valid NA Added Sharp 4.3" support NA xio spits out error if hi color and bitmap not 16 bit NA Fixed *PONMAC and *DEMOMAC 0 arg works again; added error if macro number invalid; changed PONMAC response to show if copyright on or off NA SLCD6 Block Erase now checks "valid address" for completion. SLCD6 Block Erase returns failure if erase error is detected on part.
