Emulation of EVEx on a PC screen

[rascalito]

Hello!

I would like to know if there is some kind of emulation system for PC. Here is why:
I wrote a software for a real EVE, but now I need to write a user's manual.
I could of course take pictures (and that's what I am doing). But the problem is that
pictures are always a little bit distorted, there is a reflection on the screen, contrast
is not that good, etc, etc. So ideally I would like to run the software on a PC to get
the exact same image that I can dump into an image of some kind.

Does this exist?

Thanks for any hint,

R

Maybe use the EVE Screen Editor and "create" the screens you want to take a screen shot of?

Bridgetek has an emulator available, you can find details in appnote AN-281 [1]

Hello!

Yes, that's the idea. I would like to dump the buffer I'm sending by SPI / DMA on the real hardware,
then feed the emulator with it, and get the exact same screen on my PC.

I have checked the AN281 and downloaded it.
Now it says this:
"The emulator library is included in the install package of the EVE Screen Editor, which can be
found in the section of the following page:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm"

I have checked the page, searched for "emu" no results, for "screen editor", then "screen" only... No results.
Where can I download the library from?

I have also searched the web for "FT8xx emulator", found some pointers to AN281 above.

Any hint welcome

It's included in the sample applications over at [1] since the download link somewhat gets lost in that page i'll link the current version as of today directly [2]
