Sadly I now have to accept I'm just not going to get a working prototype running before the 25th deadline.

I've tried. I really have. But the latest problem has really got me stumped. 

So I got asset data going from flash to ram at a nice speed. bitmaps load correctly, but I cant for the life of me figure out why I cant get my font data to display correctly. 

I've gone through several datasheets guides and even looked through FTDI libraries to see if there's any trick to it. But it just refuses to load correctly. 

I had hoped at least if I figured it out today I could get 1 maybe 2 of the widgets programmed to show by the 25th. But I just dont see how right now. 

I think there might be some kind of byte alignment issue with how the chip addresses font data. But I've not managed to work it out.

Before I was using the Gameduino library with its own GD2 files. But as I'm not using an SD card this time. I've had to create custom asset loading code to push from flash to ram. There must be something happening in the GD2 file that sets up the font file correctly. 

I've emailed my contact at bridgetek to see if he has any ideas of what to try. But this obviously wont be in time for the deadline...

Oh well:/ 

Dont worry not abandoning the project. Just will have phase 1 done later than I want.
