The following tables summarize the supported demos for the different graphics development boards. The first column for each demo summary table will show the demo names. These names are the same names used for the directories of the demo distributed with the Graphics Library. The succeeding columns will show if the hardware combination will be supported in the demo. Each demo may or may not require external memory programming. Refer to the “Demo Requiring External Memory” table for information if it will require external memory programming. The color depth used for each demo is also summarized in the “Demo Color Depth Summary” table.

This development board comes with its demo software. Refer to this link for details

Table 11: Demo Limitations Summary

1	When configured for PIC24FJ128GA010 PIM, USB HID, USB MSD or SD MSD is not supported.
2	When configured for PIC24FJ256GA110 PIM, USB HID and USB MSD are not supported.
3	When configured for PIC24FJ256GB110 or PIC24FJ256GB210 PIM, USB HID and USB MSD are supported. SD MSD is not supported.
4	When configured for PIC32MX360F512 PIM or PIC32 Starter Kit, USB HID and USB MSD are not supported.
5	When configured for PIC32MX460F512 SD MSD is not supported.
6	When configured for PIC24FJ256DA210 SD MSD is not supported.
7	When configured for PIC32 USB Starter Kit or PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit, SD MSD and USB HID are not supported.
8	PIC32 Starter Kit/ dsPIC33E Starter Kit/ PIC24E Starter Kit - no potentiometer, demos with A/D as external source will not work. - focus control using buttons will not work. - secondary oscillator, when not populated will not update the date and time demo that is based on the RTCC module. - Starter Kits does not have a UART port, programming of Graphics PICtail flash memory is not possible.
9	Compiler optimization level must be set to “0”, "1", "2", or "s" for PIC24FJ128GA010. For evaluation copies of the compilers that has expired, a purchase of the valid license will be needed to to set the optimization levels to "1", "2" or "s".
10	Compiler optimization level must be set to "1", "2", or "s" for PIC24FJ256GB210. There is a known issue on this PIC device when the optimization is set to “3” in the JPEG Demo.
11	Heap size is needed in all demo projects since GOL Objects are always dynamically allocated. For details on how to set and use heap in PIC devices please refer to: "MPLAB C32 C COMPILER USER'S GUIDE" for PIC32 devices "MPLAB C COMPILER FOR PIC24 MCUs AND dsPIC DSCs USER'S GUIDE" for PIC24 devices
12	The demo is using the SD Card interface of the Graphics LCD Controller PICtail™ Plus SSD1926 Board and the built in JPEG decoder of the SSD1926. The JPEG decoder needs at least 4 Kbytes buffer to operate and with only 256 Kbytes built-in SRAM available, the demo cannot be run on a WQVGA screen. Therefore, this demo can only be run on 3.2″ QVGA Truly TFT Display Board (AC164127-4).
13	Hardware supports the demo, but firmware does not exist to show this example
14	Hardware Profile and Jumpers on Board must be configured for SPI1 instead of SPI2 for proper function.
15	PMP Port must be used with 8-bit interface mode.

NOTE: The table shows the out of box support for external memory programming.

Demos running on hardware that can support external memory can be modified to add external memory features with firmware modification.
