Inverted Bootloader

Post by OkieEngineer » Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:57 am

I am mounting a PV480 with the buttons on top due to the view angle of my console. I already have the configuration inverted, but is there any way to get the bootloader to display upside down?

Unfortunately no. However, your end users should rarely if ever see the bootloader once you are done with development.

By the way, the 450 has some pretty good viewing angles, is it really neccessary to install it upside down in your installation?

Hope this helps.

There are a couple of reasons I have it mounted upside down. One is that it is mounted almost horizontally, so the viewing angle is pretty extreme. The other reason is that the buttons are slightly more accessible on the top than on the bottom in my application (5 button PV480, not an 8 button PV450).

As far as customers noticing, the word "booting" displays upside down before the splash screen comes up every time the unit is started.
