| 23:43.17 | tobiasBora | Hello, I'm playing with an ereader that I'd like to turn into a kind of external screen. I have root access, so I created server that runs on the ereader and that reads content sent by a client (the idea was based on a script that explained how to use directfb on it) |
| 23:43.37 | tobiasBora | for now I can draw basic shapes without troubles |
| 23:45.12 | tobiasBora | however I have troubles to display images |
| 23:45.12 | tobiasBora | I tried to use https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7888277/directfb-data-from-memory-buffer but in my case it just displays a white screen, can't see any picture... |
| 23:45.12 | tobiasBora | so I have a few questions: |
| 23:45.12 | tobiasBora | 1) on which irc channel can I get some help for that kind of issue |
| 23:46.16 | tobiasBora | 2) any idea why the code given in the second answer of the above link fails in my case? I created a png picture from git, and tried to include it in two ways, either via a .h file generated via xxd -i image.jpg, and also via my usual client/server code |
| 23:47.01 | tobiasBora | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:48.28 | tobiasBora | 3) I wanted to try to run the code locally (not super easy to debug an ereader), but I can't even draw a rectangle on directfb in linux... The screen size is 8x8, and I can't see it appear anywhere... I also tried to run some demo of directfb, but same issue, I don't even know how to run a simple directfb script on a usual desktop... Any idea? |
