dpf-ax: unsupported dpf - requests

Please use this thread for posting requests for unsupported dpfs.

First thing to do before tinkering with the display:
MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE!
let me repeat it:
MAKE A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE!

Without a copy of this firmware it is impossible to add your dpf! Or recover it if something goes wrong!

There are two possibilities to backup the firmware with dpf-ax:

fulldump.py: backup of firmware only.

cd ./fw
sudo ./fulldump.py /dev/sgX

Where "X" is the device your dpf is connected to (normally "/dev/sg1" or "/dev/sg2").
The dump will be written to "full.bin".

identify.py: backup of firmware and check if your dpf is already supported.

cd ./fw
sudo ./identify.py /dev/sgX

Where "X" is the device your dpf is connected to (normally "/dev/sg1" or "/dev/sg2").
The dump will be written to "identify.out/full.bin".

If identify.py tells you that your dpf is not supported, upload the firmware somewhere and post a link or attach it your request.

Some additional infos would be nice:
- Manufacturer
- Link to shopping site.

HI!
I've got a 1,5" 128x128px dpf ( in fact i've bought 4 of those . bad luck :-( ) which seems not supported :

Detecting & reading dpf flash...
Opening generic SCSI device '/dev/sg1'
Manufacturer: AMIC
Unknown Manufacturer
Got id[3]: 37, 30, 14
Unable to detect flash, just assuming 2MB size
Size        : 2 MB
Reading 200000 bytes...
Flash written to file 'identify.out/full.bin'.

Looking for firmware.............: Found (buildwin, 128x128 px).
Looking for Openwin..............: Found.
Looking for LcdIniTbl............: Found.
Looking for known signatures.....: None.
Looking for known version info...: None.

Sorry, no matching dpf found.

There are 2 references at the back DPF815a and BFV151

The full.bin is attached.

If you can help : thanks by advance :-) !

Please try attached fw.

superelchi

Yeahh it's working !!

Thanks a lot.

It's very pale (not enough contrast) but it's working :-) !

Regards.

Assas1.

That was to be expected, because I did not implement the contrast setting. :-)
The contrast setting routine in the original fw looks weird - if not to say faulty -, so I choose not to implemet it on the first try.
Attached are two different implementations of contrast setting. Could you please test if none / one / both are working?

superelchi

Again thanks a lot : both are perfectly working !

best contrast setting seems to be 2 3 or 4 (for my eyes :-) ).

-> gonna post photos sometime :-)

FYI: new model "carrefour_bfv151" in svn.
I used the "table" variant, like the broken one from the original fw - only fixed :-).

Hello,
many thanks for your wonderful work !!!

I´ve already flashed some chinese 1.5" and 2.4" DPF´s, but this one is differrent:

I got it from ebay: "Hot 1.5 Digital Photo Frame Picture Album 16MB New Tumbler #03" from "eachdesk"

ProgSPI reports:

FLASH info is Cmd-9f: ID: 0xd53014d5
FLASH info is Cmd-ab: ID: ox13131313
FLASH info is Cmd-90: ID: 0xd513d513

It would be great, if you could help me...

@ c.dent

Nice one!
Please try attached fw.

superelchi

Works,,,!!!

Many thanks...!!!

The new Serial Flash Memory with the ID 0xd53014d5 is a N25S80 from Nantronics Nansi.

Please use the upgraded FlashLib.ini at your own risk.

FYI: new model "eachdesk_tumbler" in svn.

@c.dent
Thanks for sharing the changes to FlashLib.ini.

Hi! I've got a 2,4" 320x240px dpf ,it seems not supported :

# python identify.py full.bin
Looking for firmware.............: Found (buildwin, 320x240 px).
Looking for Openwin..............: Found.
Looking for LcdIniTbl............: Found.
Looking for known signatures.....: None.
Looking for known version info...: None.

Sorry, no matching dpf found.
But following models have a partial signature match: [['pearl_custom']]

The full.bin is attached.

Regards.

@olderzeus

Please try attached fw.
Your dpf has a funny brightness-table, so please test if adjusting the brightness works correctly.

Do you have a manufacturer / shop link for this display?

superelchi

@superelchi

Thank you, Firmware is work perfect!
I buy it form taobao.com and link is:http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9197767508
Manufacturer unknown, certainly is one of the many workshops in China.
Model is PT824B, and should be compatible with PT824A/B/C .

Hi!

I just got cheap DPF from Clas Ohlson. Unfortunately it is not supported:

Detecting & reading dpf flash...
Opening generic SCSI device '/dev/sg2'
Manufacturer: Apple
Size        : 1 MB
Reading 100000 bytes...
Flash written to file 'identify.out/full.bin'.

Looking for firmware.............: Found (buildwin, 128x128 px).
Looking for Openwin..............: Found.
Looking for LcdIniTbl............: Found.
Looking for known signatures.....: None.
Looking for known version info...: None.

Sorry, no matching dpf found.

Any luck to hack the firmware?

Edit: DFP not on sale anymore! Updated link.

Works perfectly! Thanks a lot!

WORKING !!!!

I won a T3468 Zumba Digital Photo Viewer from digikey in a twitter contest. It's a combination digital photo viewer and pencil holder (yes, really!).
I couldn't immediately see how to attach a file here, so I uploaded it to my server: http://www.scannedinavian.com/~shae/zumba.full.bin.gz
identify.py gave me a partial match on the clas_ohlson dpf requested by BufferFramed

I have another question.. what version of sdcc has binaries named asx8051 and aslink? Recent versions of http://sdcc.sf.net/ produce binaries named sdcc and sdas8051, only the manpages still refer to asx8051.

So, how can I find these? Should I be able to symlink binaries from the most recent sdcc to match these names?
CC = sdcc
AS = asx8051
LD = aslink

Thanks for this project!
Shae Erisson

@ Shae Erisson

Please try attached fw.

As far as I can see asx8051 was renamed to sdas8051 in sdcc 3.0. Should be okay to symlink sdas8051 to asx8051 and see what happens. :-)

superelchi

That firmware seems to flash just fine with restore.py

I ran detect.py on fw_disp_zumba_t3468.bin and it says it is already hacked, as expected.

After flashing the firmware you hacked for me, I hold down the menu button and press the reset button to get into bootloader mode.

But when I run lcd4linux it says:

Found AX206 DPF (bootloader)
DPF: framebuffer could not be allocated: malloc() failed
Error initializing driver DPF: Exit!

I've been reading http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=6688&start=100
and it implies I should see googly eyes and a new menu at some point, but I don't get that.

Am I doing something wrong?

Bootloader mode (menu + reset) is only needed for flashing the firmware.
After the firmware is flashed you should see the eyes on power on.

Hi superelchi! I've got a 2,4" 320x240px dpf from http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10380777914, it seems not supported :

# python identify.py my_origin_firmware.bin 
Looking for firmware.............: Found (buildwin, 320x240 px).
Looking for Openwin..............: Found.
Looking for LcdIniTbl............: Found.
Looking for known signatures.....: None.
Looking for known version info...: None.

Sorry, no matching dpf found.

This hardware should be similar with olderzeus's, the origin firmware of olderzeus's could be used in my DPF.
I have test firmware pt824, the screen displays the eyes successfully. But when using lcd4linux, the screen falls black.
Add is there any guide?

Regards.

The origin firmware is here.
Thx

If you can see the eyes firmware should be okay. Maybe a problem with your lcd4linux install/version/config. You can try dpfsend instead to verify if the display is working (see here) or any other programm that supports ax206. Have a look at the Wiki.

superelchi

dpfsend works well.
but the others with the same lcd4linux config works well with DPF of olderzeus's version.
And I have tested it with vnc, it works well too.
If I using other firmware such as linkdelight_4, the screen is divided into several areas. some of them shows correctly( and tested it under lcd4linux) .

You can download the config from http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=150013&uk=1107847486
It's just olderzeus's
