elcdif_rgb#
Overview#
The ELCDIF RGB project shows how to drive the RGB interface LCD using eLCDIF driver. If this example runs correctly, a rectangle is moving in the screen, and the color changes every time it reaches the edges of the screen.
The rectangle moving speed might be different with Debug target and Release target, because these two targets spend different time to fill the frame buffer.
