A fast embedded-graphics display driver for UEFI environments,
using the [`embedded-graphics`](https://crates.io/crates/embedded-graphics) crate as its base.
Supports:
- [X] Double buffering
- [X] Display resizing
- [X] An extensive draw/render library using the [`embedded-graphics`](https://crates.io/crates/embedded-graphics) crate
### Why are there 2 other crates for this job?
[`uefi-graphics`](https://crates.io/crates/uefi-graphics) and [`uefi-graphics-driver`](https://crates.io/crates/uefi-graphics-driver)
are two crates providing similar functionality,
sadly both seem to either lack some of the necessary functionality or are completely unmaintained
## Example
Here is a simple example with using the [`uefi`](https://crates.io/crates/uefi) crate on version `0.30.0`:
```rust
#![no_main]
#![no_std]
extern crate alloc;
use embedded_graphics::geometry::Point;
use embedded_graphics::mono_font::ascii::FONT_6X10;
use embedded_graphics::mono_font::MonoTextStyle;
use embedded_graphics::pixelcolor::Rgb888;
use embedded_graphics::text::Text;
use embedded_graphics::Drawable;
use uefi::prelude::*;
use uefi::proto::console::gop::GraphicsOutput;
use uefi_graphics2::UefiDisplay;
#[entry]
fn main() -> Status {
uefi::helpers::init().unwrap();
// Disable the watchdog timer
boot::set_watchdog_timer(0, 0x10000, None).unwrap();
// Get gop
let gop_handle = boot::get_handle_for_protocol::<GraphicsOutput>().unwrap();
let mut gop = boot::open_protocol_exclusive::<GraphicsOutput>(gop_handle).unwrap();
// Create UefiDisplay
let mode = gop.current_mode_info();
let mut display = UefiDisplay::new(gop.frame_buffer(), mode).unwrap();
// Create a new character style
let style = MonoTextStyle::new(&FONT_6X10, Rgb888::WHITE);
// Create a new text
let text = Text::new("Hello World!", Point { x: 30, y: 100 }, style);
// Draw the text on the display
text.draw(&mut display).unwrap();
// Flush everything
display.flush();
// wait 10000000 microseconds (10 seconds)
boot::stall(10_000_000);
Status::SUCCESS
}
```
