28 cfb - Character Framebuffer shell commands
29 Options:
30 -h, --help :Show command help.
31 Subcommands:
32 init :[none]
33 get_device :[none]
34 get_param :<all, height, width, ppt, rows, cols>
35 get_fonts :[none]
36 set_font :<idx>
37 invert :[none]
38 print :<col: pos> <row: pos> <text>
39 scroll :<dir: (vertical|horizontal)> <col: pos> <row: pos>
40 <text>
41 clear :[none]
42
43**init**: should be called first to initialize the display.
44
45Command example (reel_board):
46
47.. code-block:: console
48
49 uart:~$ cfb init
50 Framebuffer initialized: SSD16XX
51 Display Cleared
52
53**get_device**: prints the display device name.
54
55Command example (reel_board):
56
57.. code-block:: console
58
59 uart:~$ cfb get_device
60 Framebuffer Device: SSD16XX
61
62**get_param**: get the display parameters where height, width and ppt
63(pixel per tile) are in pixels and the number of rows and columns. The row
64position is incremented by a multiple of the ppt.
65
66Command example (reel_board):
67
68.. code-block:: console
69
70 uart:~$ cfb get_param all
71 param: height=120
72 param: width=250
73 param: ppt=8
74 param: rows=15
75 param: cols=250
76
77**get_fonts**: print the index, height and width in pixels of the static
78defined fonts presented in the system.
79
80Command example (reel_board):
81
82.. code-block:: console
83
84 uart:~$ cfb get_fonts
85 idx=0 height=32 width=20
86 idx=1 height=24 width=15
87 idx=2 height=16 width=10
88
89**set_font**: choose the font to be used by passing the font index. Only one
90font can be used at a time.
91
92Command example (reel_board):
93
94.. code-block:: console
95
96 uart:~$ cfb set_font 0
97 Font idx=0 height=32 width=20 set
98
99**invert**: invert the pixel color of the display.
100
101Command example (reel_board):
102
103.. code-block:: console
104
105 uart:~$ cfb invert
106 Framebuffer Inverted
107
108**print**: pass the initial column and row positions and the text in
109double quotation marks when it contains spaces. If text hits the edge
110of the display the remaining characters will be displayed on the next line. The
111previous printed text will be overwritten.
112
113Command example (reel_board):
114
115.. code-block:: console
116
117 uart:~$ cfb print 60 5 ZEPHYR
118
119**scroll**: pass the scroll direction, vertical or horizontal, the initial
120column and row positions, and the text to be displayed in double quotation
121marks when it contains spaces. If the text hits the edge of the display, the
122remaining characters will be displayed in the next line. The text will scroll
123until it hits the display boundary, last column for horizontal and last row
124for vertical direction. The text passed with the scroll command will be moved
125vertically or horizontally on the display.
126
127
128Command example (reel_board):
129
130.. code-block:: console
131
132 uart:~$ cfb scroll vertical 60 5 ZEPHYR
133
134**clear**: clear the display screen.
135
136Command example (reel_board):
137
138.. code-block:: console
139
140 uart:~$ cfb clear
141 Display Cleared
