Does anyone of you have experience on decoding bmp ? I want to display bmp file to my LCD... Any clues ? thanks #i-have-a-clue

Pretty sure the printf() there isn't appropriate.

Yes, start by filling the panel with colour, and confirm those actually work, or if the colour is wrong.

Can you display white properly in your LCD ?

I will check tomorrow, but pretty sure it does.

The SSD1289 has a Transparency bit in Register 0x11, but it's application with respect to the data stream is not discussed further.

You could presumably do a testif (rgb == 0xFFFF) rgb = 0xFFFE;

Like this :

 if (rgb == 0xFFFF) rgb = 0xFFFE;               rgb = ((rgb & 0xF80000) >> 8) | ((rgb & 0x00FC00) >> 5) | ((rgb & 0x0000F8) >> 3);               LCD_SetPoint(y/3, x/3, rgb); I got no response, still dot dot white on the screen...

No like this, do you have no sense of logic and sequence?

rgb = ((rgb & 0xF80000) >> 8) | ((rgb & 0x00FC00) >> 5) | ((rgb & 0x0000F8) >> 3); // convert to colour space of display
if (rgb == 0xFFFF) rgb = 0xFFFE; // address transparent/white issue
LCD_SetPoint(y/3, x/3, rgb); // paint dot on screen

it's changing to FFFE but not in a solid LCD, there are some black spots on LCD...why is it ?

or

if (rgb == 0xFFFF) rgb = 0xFFFD; works allright..

You are asking me questions about a board and screen that I don't have, and cannot independently verify/test.

It is possible that x/3 or y/3 exceed the dimensions of the display.

The SSD1298 on the STM32F407 does appear to display the primary colours properly, and doesn't have issues with transparent/clear 0xFFFF. Painted the Blue/White flag without issue.
