I modified the nboot application to move the progress bar to the bottom of the A70 screen and made it the width of the screen. Also changed the code to center the boot image. A bigger image can also be used. I tried a 800x480 image and it worked nicely. The problem i am getting is that the screen has some bad flicker. Can anyone else confirm this? I can compile to any of the supported LCDs if desired. Thank you, Errol
Flickering does not seem to be related to my nboot. It only happens intermittently. Included is the file for WinCE6 platform builder to also move the Starting image to the center... Copy it to C:\WINCE600\PLATFORM\Mini2440\SRC\OAL\OALLIB
Was behaviour of the A70 setup OK before any software mods?
Sort of. Sometimes the LCDs flickered before changes. Just seemed worse after. But after repowering it's gone, sometimes... Reflashed original nboot from CD. Same...
Thanks Errol for you new nboot ;-) Works great here, no flicker here at all, see for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTSbC7VGtYQ
Glad to hear! :)
Errol, how do you modify the nboot? With the platform builder? where is the source? thank you!
Hi Fernando, I used ADS i think. It was in a folder on the DVD. The standard source is also on the DVD. But i can upload my source if it will help. Thank you, Errol
That would be great Errol! Thanks a lot!!
nboot as promised...
thanks Errol! Very kind
Hi, is it possible to compiled it for the L80 (or 640x480) and have the progress bar at the bottom of the screen i dont have anything to compile the nboot right now Thanks in advance it would be very appreciated
Unfortunately i won't be able to compile anytime soon. near the top of Option.H there is all the LCDs. just uncomment L80 and comment N70 and compile. That will automatically adjust the bar to the bottom of the L80 screen...
No problem i was to lazy to look at the cd rom and i found the compiler i and i was able to compile it thank you so much for the modify nboot it work perfectly thanks again
Hello, thanks Errol ! that helped me a lot ! I just got 1 problem, I was not able to use larger images... it just works with the original logo image or smaller, other thing,after finishing loading the bar, the FriendlyArm boot image show's up again (I think it is a WINCE pre-set ) some one knows something about it ? thanks !
Glad it helped. I loaded a bigger image, I tried to 800x480 and it worked. You must make sure that it is the correct format, and that your super-vivi is up to date. I have see people complain that super-viv complains that the image file is too big(sometimes it says the file is bigger than it actually is, i think this is caused by images that gets messed up by the graphics program) The image that re-appears is built into the WinCE image. I have not changed that in a while, so I can't remember where to change it. I just remember that the image is loaded into a tool that spits out a C file that gets replaced in the WinCE source code. Thanks, Errol
Thanks Errol ! it works perfectly !!! I was trying to use a BMP 24 bits file, but in a strange size (not one of the defaults screen sizes ), now with a 800x480 worked ... I also found the startlogo.c in the winCE code, it is in C:\WINCE600\PLATFORM\Mini2440\SRC\OAL\OALLIB\StartLogo.c (just search for the name that the StartLogoMaker gave to me ) replancing it everything worked the way I want ! thanks a lot !

Hi Errol, Could you share with me some of your knowledge, please? Do you have StartLogoMaker.exe or StartLogo.exe file? Ulambayar
