adding new fonts is not working anymore ?

MIDIbox NG
1

hey ,

while i was following this tutorial .

http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=how_to_create_custom_glcd_fonts_icons_bars_for_midibox_ng

it seems its not allowing me to add a new font .

is this because the trunk is precompiled ?

  default:
    return -1; // unsupported font
  }

----> the other files have been changed and added as well

Could someone please point me in the right direction .

What am i missing ? do i have to precompile everything to make this work ?

thanks a lot for time and effort in advance.

[glcd_font.mk](< base_url >/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=15907&key=d9a00a97bc78a97f5f57a43f92de3672)[glcd_font.h](< base_url >/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=15908&key=a6aec0134555e3a52fd3061772af282f)[glcd_font_jbig.c](< base_url >/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=15909&key=ada73a84243287386bdb063316c01a20)[glcd_font_jbig.xpm](< base_url >/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=15910&key=1e55c22c5c8b2d4585e49684ab977b25)

make clean

make

?

 

and change in headerfile:

extern const u8 GLCD_FONT_JBIG;

to
extern const u8 glcd_font_jbig;

 

in the makefile low and high letter dont cares,  but i think in headers you have to write it exact like it is written in the font.c… (but maybe i am wrong)

thank you very much for your reply .

the high and low letters didnt change the problem.

i named everything exactly like in the originals.

 

i now tried to just exchange one of the originals with my font files und renaming them .

the strange thing is , it compiled properly but the font did not change after the upload .

seems im stuck .

 

THIS NOTE makes me wonder . does it mean they are precompiled ?

| Some prepared Fonts/Icons are located under $MIOS32_PATH/modules/glcd_font |

| They are already compiled into the project if a GLCD driver has been |

| selected (no need to extend the Makefile) |

|   |

| o GLCD_FONT_NORMAL (6x8 character set) |

| o GLCD_FONT_SMALL (4x8 character set) |

| o GLCD_FONT_BIG (16x24 character set) |

| o GLCD_FONT_KNOB_ICONS (28x24 round knobs, 12 different icons) |

| o GLCD_FONT_METER_ICONS_H (8x28 horizontal meter bars, 28 icons, 14 with/14 without overload marker) |

o GLCD_FONT_METER_ICONS_V (32x8 vertical meter bars, 28 icons, 14 with/14 without overload marker)

 

i took a fresh trunk , put my own lcd files , renamed everything according to the present .c and .h files and compiled .

still the big font ( the one i exchanged ) is the same as in the original .

how is this possible ?

are the font files cashed somewhere ?

i also went to the bootloader and initialized the glcd .

i dont understand where its getting the font from if the glcd_font files have been changed ( they have the same names to be able to compile ) .

you work with local files in the project folder? or do you put the files in the mios-path?

 

if you put your folders in the project folder you have to go a other route:

* my example file “tm_V4” >>> try to “make” it,

* and study what i have written with “” and <>   

include “blabla.h” (is a local file - so you have to put the file in this project folder)

include <blabla.h> (is a file in the mios path) > so you have to put the file in the mios-path

 

it would be usefull if you zip your project, post it here - to see how you work, and what may the problem is.

im checking your folder and file structure and reading the .c , .h and make files. ..and comparing things with how i did.

im beginning to see the light . i was not aware of the folder structure  . in fact i have very little knowledge of programming .

i just downloaded the complete trunk from github and went to :

mios32/modules/glcd_font        ( to add my xpm and .c files and change the files : glcd_font.mk & glcd_font.h accordingly )

and

mios32/apps/controllers/midibox_ng_v1/src    ( to change mbng_lcd.c )

then i cd into  /midibox_ng_v1  and “make”

then i got the error from mbng_lcd.c  ( which is referring to <glcd_font> )

 

  • as i see you have everything in one folder

but you dont use glcd_font.mk (because you adressed the fonts directly in your folder / from your “makefile” ?)

 

----!!!

i think i understand now what the problem is .

my building environment is always referring to my old /svn directory . ( since i just started again after many years to work with all that things )

i will move the new github trunk to the /svn folder and get rid of the old trunk.

lets see , i think this should fix it .

( you are helping me a lot to understand the whole "c compiling / folder structure)

it works now !!!

YAY.

YOU MADE MY WEEKEND !!!

you seriously made my understanding of things much better !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

i owe you some nice food and beer ( if you drink some )

ich hätte da noch eine andere Frage .

Bisher habe ich mit einem LPC Core gearbeitet.

Es soll aber demnächst auch ein STM32F4 Core her .

Muss ich die Toolchain um die apps zu compilen dann jedesmal umstellen .

e.g

export MIOS32_FAMILY=LPC17xx export MIOS32_PROCESSOR=LPC1769 export MIOS32_BOARD=MBHP_CORE_LPC17

..

export MIOS32_FAMILY=STM32F4xx export MIOS32_PROCESSOR=STM32F407VG export MIOS32_BOARD=MBHP_CORE_STM32F4

oder kann ich 2 Toolchain profile haben (mit verschiedenen Pfaden )  ?

lg ,

jascha

linux oder windows oder mac?

hab bisher nur in linux gearbeitet,

da geh ich immer auf: /etc/environment

und kopier dann immer für STM32:

PATH="/home/autark/midibox/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin:/home/autark/program:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/autark/app:/home/autark/midibox/gcc-arm-none-eabi/arm-none-eabi/bin" MIOS32\_PATH=/home/autark/midibox/mios32 MIOS32\_BIN\_PATH=/home/autark/midibox/mios32/bin MIOS32\_BOARD=MBHP\_CORE\_STM32F4 MIOS32\_FAMILY=STM32F4xx MIOS32\_GCC\_PREFIX=arm-none-eabi MIOS32\_PROCESSOR=STM32F407VG MIOS32\_LCD=universal

und für LPC

PATH="/home/autark/midibox/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin:/home/autark/program:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/autark/app:/home/autark/midibox/gcc-arm-none-eabi/arm-none-eabi/bin" MIOS32\_PATH=/home/autark/midibox/mios32 MIOS32\_BIN\_PATH=/home/autark/midibox/mios32/bin MIOS32\_BOARD=MBHP\_CORE\_LPC17 MIOS32\_FAMILY=LPC17xx MIOS32\_GCC\_PREFIX=arm-none-eabi MIOS32\_PROCESSOR=LPC1769 MIOS32\_LCD=universal

rein (ich hab mir diese textblöcke abgelegt, und wo abgespeichert, das ich nur noch copy paste machen muss), ich vermute unter windows kannst dir einen script schreiben, der die entsprechende Variable EXPORTIERT, z.b. auch mit einen einfachen dos-fenster, wost den skript startest, und lpc oder stm reinschreibst, und dann wirds exportiert… aber wie genau? keine ahnung, und MAC 0 ahnung.

und starte dann neu, ab da an sind meine SYSTEM VARIABLEN (zu linux: environment variables) dauerhaft gespeichert… falls ich dann ein älteres projekt wieder bearbeite, stell ich auf LPC um, und starte neu…

…aber hast schon recht… das ist müßig… war ich bisher zufaul mir mein leben zu erleichtern :wink:

vielen dank ,

dann habe ich das richtig gedacht.  so werde ich es auch machen .
