SYSTEM ARCHITECURE
System support
We has been tested on host operating system as below
- ubuntu 16.04
- OpenWrt
- windows(windows 7 or windows 10)
Waveform mode
There are six Waveform mode for image update and short name as below table. The mode parameter will use in update command.
| mode 0 | mode 1 | mode 2 | mode 3 | mode 4 | mode 5 |
| INIT | DU | GC16 | GCC16 | A2 | GL16 |
INIT(Global update WF) :
- Initialize is used to completely clear the display, if it's left in an unknown state (i.e. if the previous image has been lost by a re-boot)
DU(Local update WF) :
- Direct update Non-flashing waveform that can be used to update. it can update any changed graytone pixel to black or white only.
GC16(Global update WF) :
- Grayscale clear, 16 levels A "flashy" waveform used for 16 level grayscale images. All the pixels are updated or cleared
GCC16( Global clear update WF) :
- Grayscale Clear, 16 Levels A "more flashy" waveform used for 16 level grayscale images. All the pixels are updated or cleared.
- This provides the best image appearance.
A2(Local update WF) :
- animation, 2 Levels is a non-flashing waveform that can be used for fast updates and simple animation.
- This wave form support black & white updates only.
- image quality and ghosting is reduced in exchange for the response time.
GL16(Local update WF when white to white , Global update when 16 gray levels) :
- The GL16 waveform is used to update anti-aliased text with reduced flash. GL16 should bed used only with Full Display Update..
- The entire display except pixels staying in white will update as the new image is written. The GL16 waveform has 16 unique gray levels.
Push image application
Hardware prepare
1. Connected EPD FPC to mainboard
2. Connected micro USB cable to mainboard USB2(CN2) , usb port connect to computer usb port which installed windows or linux ubuntu
3. Connected 12V power cable to mainboard.
Software prepare
Windows
1. Download usb driver tool zadig usb tool
2.Execute zadig.exe and click Option->List All Devices
3.ITE T-CON appeared in list and click Replace Driver button , waiting installation until success
4.Repeat step 3 replace others ITE T-CON driver.
Linux
User must install library as below
1. Installed libusb 1.0.22.
2. Installed OpenCV 2.4.13.
3. libjepg
OpenWrt
software package has been integrate to latest Firmware on Hardware model of WISE-3270. Others hardware platform should install follow library
1. Installed libusb 1.0.22.
2. Installed OpenCV 2.4.13.
3. libjepg
Contact with Advantech product division get more software information.
Xml parameter
Before image display ,user have to configure xml of file path、file name、 slide_interval and waveform mode. Content of xml file as below.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<epd_config>
<epd name="EPD 31.2">
<color>KW</color>
<image_path>D:\application\photoImg\</image_path>
<image_name>
<full_update>
<img>1.bmp</img>
</full_update>
<stop>stop</stop>
</image_name>
<slide_interval>0</slide_interval>
<en_set_temperature>0</en_set_temperature>
<temperature>25</temperature>
<waveform_mode>2</waveform_mode>
<rotate>180</rotate>
</epd>
</epd_config>
<image path> : User should assign photo image path in operating system , application search image file under this path.
<img> : User have to write the image name in xml file and application follow path and name to load image file. It can be assigned more than one <img> tag name between <full_update> and </full_update> then following <img> tag to load image and display in sequence. It's only support Bmp and jpg type.
<stop> Stop tag use to load image at once. Above mention stop tag in xml, application terminated after 1.bmp update done. In carousel mode stop tag must removed from xml.
<slide_interval>: Slide interval is delay time in second between every image display.
<set_temperature> user don't need configure temperature.
<waveform_mode> Waveform mode usually choose mode 2 for image update. waveform explicit detail see Section 1.4 waveform mode
<rotate> There has 4 options 0 、90、180、270 of angle
Application execution
User should check all information of xml is correct before execute application or it may cause error procedure.
1. Open command line
2. Change current directory to EPD_4TCON
3. Execute command EPD_4TCON with parameter xml file name
Windows : "EPD_4Tcon.exe test.xml"
Linux : $./EPD_4Tcon test.xml
Quick start
Following step to achieve different play mode.
Single display
This example showing how to configure xml for image display once on linux ubuntu 16.04.
Step 1: Image path depends on user's defined. we defined path that is in /usr/local/photoImg in this example.
Step 2: we assume one picture that name is 1.bmp to display , we should put 1.bmp in image path and put img tag in xml.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<epd_config>
<epd name="EPD 31.2">
<color>KW</color>
<image_path>/usr/local/photoImg</image_path>
<image_name>
<full_update>
<img>1.bmp</img>
</full_update>
<stop>stop</stop>
</image_name>
<slide_interval>0</slide_interval>
<en_set_temperature>0</en_set_temperature>
<temperature>25</temperature>
<waveform_mode>2</waveform_mode>
<rotate>180</rotate>
</epd>
</epd_config>
Step 3: $./EPD_4Tcon test.xml
This application will stop after updating content of 1.bmp
Carousel mode
Carousel mode is non-stop application except system signal , user could stop running procedure by SIGINT ,SIGKILL signal.
Below example is xml in carousel mode that three images display in sequence every 10 sceonds
Step 1: Image path depends on user's defined. we defined path that is in /usr/local/photoImg in this example.
Step 2: There are three images to display , we should put 1.bmp，2.bmp，3.bmp in image path and put img tag in xml.
Step 3: Removed tag of <stop>.
Step 4: We defined every 10 seconds to change image and writing 10 at tag of <slide_interval>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<epd_config>
<epd name="EPD 31.2">
<color>KW</color>
<image_path>/usr/local/photoImg</image_path>
<image_name>
<full_update>
<img>1.bmp</img>
<img>2.bmp</img>
<img>3.bmp</img>
</full_update>
</image_name>
<slide_interval>10</slide_interval>
<en_set_temperature>0</en_set_temperature>
<temperature>25</temperature>
<waveform_mode>2</waveform_mode>
<rotate>180</rotate>
</epd>
</epd_config>
