    Working with Cypress PSoC Creator Project Code The Single driver will toggle between two images right away after programming the project. It helps you to simply test the basic global update function with your connected EPD. It’s also the driving waveform that you will migrate to your product using the chosen EPD. The descriptions in this section will focus on the single driver.

DriverType_Size_FPL.*: The most of driving source code for each supported EPD including the power on, initialization, update and power off stages. This is the waveform code you will migrate into your project for driving your chosen EPD..
