[Solved] Any way to display custom graphics on the Kobo Wifi?
finding any documentation for the Wifi's imx357 and e-ink on freescale's website, and pygame fails to recognize the framebuffer. So I tried converting an image to the rgb565 format with ffmpeg: Code:
ffmpeg -vcodec png -i image.png -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 image.raw is distorted, as seen here (original image is shown in top-left corner): Anyone have any suggestions? I can't stand having my Wifi hacked and yet not being able to draw to the screen! Plus I need something to do until I can get my hands on a Glo or a Paperwhite.

Solved!
I was wandering through the the files on my Wifi when I, on chance,
found the file "/sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate". I saw that I contained a single "0", so I tried Code:
echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate pygame could suddenly see and draw to the framebuffer! I still have to rely on 'pickel' to update the screen: Code:
dd if=/dev/fb0 of=screen && cat screen | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic Text rendering works as well, but both the text color and text background color must be specified, otherwise it will come out as a solid rectangle. Pygame on my Wifi with image and text: |
