No. We’re having trouble with the fact that Parallax doesn’t provide Mac versions of the tools they use for their example code.
And why can't you compile the example code with flexGUI / Fastspin?
I compiled HDMI_Spiral_Demo.spin2 with fastspin and loaded it but it doesn't display anything on the 7" LCD. Does it need to be modified to work on a 800x600 display?
There is a version: HDMI_Spiral_Demo_800x480.spin2 for the 7" display.
Chips HDMI examples are normally pure PASM code. And Fastspin should handle inline assembly from PNUT without problems (but not vice versa).

I tried that as well and it also doesn't display anything. Maybe my 7" LCD is bad. Do any of the jumpers or switches on the P2 Rev C eval board need to be set in a particular way?

I power the display with a separate phone-type 5v source (making sure to swap the wires RED/BLACK on the connector Parallax gives us). No special changes to the P2ES were required.
I also got rogloh’s example running on the display (be sure to uncomment the DVI initialization and comment the original VGA init)

Glad to hear the driver is working on that display. We should try to come up with special custom timing that allows native resolution of 800x480. Perhaps start out with the 252MHz 800x600 reduced blanking below and drop the visible lines to 480 and play with the vertical/horizontal timing until it syncs at a usable frame rate. With any luck something should be possible to achieve on that display. If we have any timing specs for the display it would help too.

I found the file and downloaded it. I get an error of pnut not finding the bmp file. I put it where it tells me but still does not find it. What am I missing?
Thanks

@pilot0315 I believe I asked about a year ago to uncheck "hide file extensions of known file types" but you only tried it once and encountered whatever issue, and immediately enabled it again.
So you might have a file called:
birds_16bpp.bmp.bmp

I changed the setting and get the same thins.

It shows the path as to where the file is. I can't see the complete path from your screen shot. The path for the Bird file has be the same as where the spin file is. Put in in you projects folder. Copy and paste it there if you have to.
Try using a path without spaces (the "PNUT V" folder has a space in it's name). Like, in general, never create files/folders with spaces or other weird characters.

Changed the spacing not says pnut_v. Same error.
I will probably delete the files and start again.
It was correct for you to rename the file in the windows folder (you removed .bmp)
But you added a step.
HDMI_Test1c.spin2 should have been left alone. It still should be asking for the birds_16bpp.bmp file. The letters ".bmp" should still be present in PNut. Type those letters back in, in PNut only.
And if that still doesn't work, try moving the folder to a different location other than Desktop. Something might be trying to protect your desktop folder and preventing PNut from accessing files there.

A location like C:\parallax\PNUT_V\PNut_34v\
I have tried everybody's suggestions to no avail. I will delete all and start again. Just in case I will try an earlier version of pnut and see what happens.

Tried that also and get the same errors can't read the file and error 103
sometimes get an error that the file is too large

Been busy teaching. Sorry it has been a while. I checked that and it only had a single .bmp

Since you downloaded the file, make sure it did not somehow get permission limits on it. If it will open in paint with a double click you are good.
Make sure it is in the same directory as your program.
Make sure you are running the version of Pnut you think you are. You could put a copy right in the directory with everything else and run it.
Seems close now. You have some really silly thing, like an extra space, or path going wrong.
So you might have a file called:
birds_16bpp.bmp.bmp
I'm not sure if this is the version Andy was referring to but it works

Should I delete all of it and start over?
