I'm using an Embedded Artists development board for a ARM 9 processor (LPC3250). &nbsp;The development board includes a simple 320 x 240 screen. I need to rotate everything on the screen 180 degrees. &nbsp;Contacting the vendor there's no support in their driver for rotating, so it's left up to the user.<br />
<br />
During setup of the display, you setup a frame buffer where 2 bytes is used to describe each pixel. The API has basic capability like write a line, box, text, etc. &nbsp;The provided driver updates the screen by dereferencing the desired pixel address in the frame buffer and setting it equal to a 16 bit color. (this is the lpc swim library if that means much to someone)<br />
e.g.<br />
<br />
*(framebuffer + offset) = pen_color;<br />
<br />
<br />
Any suggestions on how to rotate the what is being displayed before ever writing it to the frame buffer?<br />
<br />
I have plenty of memory and can create a second intermediate frame buffer if needed.

rotate a frame buffer

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
