As I mentioned in post#17 above, "
adding -f makes it do a full flash update (eips -f -c, eips -f -g, etc.)..." Last time I used this command, I noticed that the "-c and -f" option order is important, and must be swapped like this:
You can use "
eips -c -f" to do a "full flash clear" (black -> white), which clears off more eink display artifacts.
(I fixed post #17, but the original is shown in blue above.)
You can look in the GPL source code to find the "definitive" answer to your
Home button question, but my "guess" is that the
Home button (indirectly) does an ioctl system call to do a "full flash clear". The "eips" command shown above probably does the same ioctl system call.
