Page 13: Software Overview
Software Overview The epdc-app is a command line tool to interface with the Epson S1D135xx EPD-Controller on the Falcon or Ruddock Board and preinstalled on the SD-Card. It can be found on the rootfs in the folder /usr/bin/epdc-app. If the software is recompiled, it’s necessary to replace the binary. The source code is located on the SD-Card in the epdc/documentation folder (epdc-app.zip). -
