FT800 JPEG support

[James81]

Deal All

I am trying to display an image with visual TFT. When I select the image source file it does not accept jpeg format. Although every where jpeg support is wirtten.
Any ideas

Hi,

Unfortunately FT800 support only .bmp format of images.

The description written in compiler Help is for all supported graphic chips generally.

FT800 does support jpeg. From the datasheet:

5.20 CMD_LOADIMAGE - load a JPEG image
Decompress the following JPEG image data into an FT800 bitmap, in main memory. The
image data should be a regular baseline JPEG (JFIF) image.

C prototype
void cmd_loadimage( uint32_t ptr,
uint32_t options );

Parameters
ptr
Destination address

options
By default, option OPT_RGB565 means the loaded bitmap is in RGB565
format. Option OPT_MONO means the loaded bitmap to be monochrome, in L8
format. The command appends display list commands to set the source,
layout and size of the resulting image. Option OPT_NODL prevents this -
nothing is written to the display list. OPT_NODL can be OR'ed with OPT_MONO
or OPT_RGB565.

V-TFT may not support JPEG, but the FT800 does.

Hi,

I apologize. I refereed to the FT800 in our VisualTFT software not as display controller generally.
Unfortunately currently there is possibility to add only .bmp format of images in VisualTFT for this display controller.

Since the FT800 supports decompressing of jpeg image by himself, can you implement it in Visual TFT?

Hi,

Our Development team is working on new version of Visual TFT.
I will forward this to our team for consideration to implement in to the next version of Visual TFT.

Hello

There is a new version now, but still no JPEG support. I can only select bmp images eather internal or external source.
Can you clarify?

Hi James,

I can confirm that in our new update for Visual TFT JPEG format is not supported for FT800.

Support for the JPEG format in our Visual TFT is still on our list, and we are planing to add it.
Unfortunately since JPEG format which FT800 is using is nonstandard the implementation of this is tricky.

We will try to enable this as soon as possible.
Thank you for the understanding.

Best regards,
Aleksandar

Hello

Any news on this topic?

Hi James,

As I mentioned before this is on our to do list.

At this moment I do not have information that our developers have started implementing this in VisualTFT.

Thank you for understanding.

Best regards,
Aleksandar

Any news about JPEG support in Visual TFT for FT8xx controller?

Will take additional 3 years, after 1000 click boards.
Take Nextion LCD and communicate with him by TTL RS232.

Life is too short for waiting of ME developers.

Best Regards.
