Christian Vogel vogelchr at vogel.cxTwo things I did want to mention, but forgot to write in my first email are: (1) For future work, it should be attempted to call the synchronisation of the framebuffer memory and the LC display in a low-priority task or timer so that the fb_flush() method that blocks on updates is no longer necessary (2) The price we pay for having the framebuffer, in terms of object-size, is detailed below, by comparing the original version of hello_world with the "new and improved" framebuffer. Comparing hello world before/after transition to framebuffer code. For hello world on E88 (C123) (with HelvR08 and HelvB14 fonts): .text +1696 byte (grows from 0x3fd0 - 0x3930) .rodata +944 byte (0xc76 - 0x1026) .data +80 byte (0x15c - 0x10c) .bss +860 byte (0x4470 - 0x47cc) For hello world on E99 (C155) (w/ HelvR08, HelvB14): .text +1344 byte .rodata +1088 byte .data +80 byte .bss +6564 byte Generally .rodata is mostly due to font data, .bss is our in-ram framebuffer. .text increase is due to the code for character- and box drawing.
