display image on 2.9 inch epaper display interface with DA14681 and display image using bluetooth
⚠️ Hi there.. thanks for coming to the forums. Exciting news! we’re now in the process of moving to our new forum platform that will offer better functionality and is contained within the main Dialog website. All posts and accounts have been migrated. We’re now accepting traffic on the new forum only - please POST any new threads at//www.xmece.com/support. We’ll be fixing bugs / optimising the searching and tagging over the coming days.
We do have customers making self-updated e-ink pricetags with our SoC, I'm not sure if that's the application you're interested.
The idea of sending data to a device on air through BLE and then update it to connected e-ink screen via a proper peripheral interface is not complicated, but to realize it some challenges like how to reduce the power consumption of each device and how to build a valid central hub to manage large quantities of devices are keys to make it happen. However, those cannot be simply discussed within a few words here.
You can get a DevKit and refer to our getting started guides to learn about how to create a simple BLE demo from scratch, displaying an image on an e-ink or whatever screen is essentially sending data to them via SPI or other interfaces of choice.
I have read UM-B-056-DA1468x Software Developer's Guide_6v0 in this there is no mention of SPI interface. Though can I still e-paper display with DA14681 using SPI? If yes, then from where I can get this tutorial to refer? Is it ok to use DA14583 or DA14681?
At where I will get all the SPI command part in tutorial to study? That How can I set and transfer the speed & data of an hex code array of a .bmp picture file that I have?
I want all the command information that SPI use to set all this?
You can download the UM-B-056-DA1468x Software Developer's Guide_6v0 from the 680 tab of our support portal. For your convenience, you can download it by following the link below:
This document is for DA1468x family SoCs. I would highly suggest you to download the latest SDK of the 68x series (SDK1.0.14) and check the peripherals_demo example. Also, to getting started with the DA14680, it would be grate idea to have a look at our tutorials.

Hi,
DA14681 has a QSPI interface for flash and 2 SPI+ interfaces for other SPI peripherals. You can go through the datasheet to verify this.
For examples to follow, I think the peripherals_demo in the SDK is the one you should look into.
At where I will get all the SPI command part in tutorial to study? That How can I set and transfer the speed & data of an hex code array of a .bmp picture file that I have?
I want all the command information that SPI use to set all this?
And should I go for DA14583 or DA14681?
