pixmap565's Issues

use on "unusual" CPU's

from: Devember 2021 project thread

There is a chance it might partially work in unusual CPUs that have 16-bit bytes.

eg: use a RPi 0/A/B or a RPi2 with armv6 - the default is 16bit & 565 graphics

FYI: 16bit & 565 should not limit what CPU you can execute this tool on. you can process both those with any "bit" system platform (ie 8bit or 32bit systems). if you use t_u16 instead of unsigned long you will get the same result across any platform or compiler, you may have to create a T_U16 define to get that to function properly
