Since it's and ESP32 you have, you might look into the screen routines in http://www.fabglib.org/
"FabGL is mainly a Graphics Library for ESP32. It implements several display drivers (for direct VGA output and for I2C and SPI LCD drivers). FabGL can also get input from a PS/2 Keyboard and a Mouse. ULP core handles PS/2 ports communications, leaving main CPU cores free to perform other tasks. FabGL also implements: an Audio Engine, a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a Game Engine and an ANSI/VT Terminal. This library works with ESP32 revision 1 and upper." The VT132 emulator board from TheHighNibble uses the FabGL package for it's VT emulator. It works very well. -- John H. Reinhardt On 12/5/2024 4:43 PM, Mike Katz via cctalk wrote:
I am looking for a C library that implements a crude windowing system on a VT-100 or compatible terminal via the serial port. I've seen such things before but not recently. I will be running this on bare metal (no operating system). Preferably the package would use the regional scrolling capabilities of the VT-100 for faster screen updates. I might be able to get Txwindows to work but I am looking for something a bit simpler? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.... Mike
