1Introduction
HULK - demo kit, with 5.65" E Ink Gallery Palette ™ 4000 e-Paper display(EPD) –AB1024-
EGA, allows E Ink clients to access hardware and software for evaluation. This kit
demonstrates as a turnkey solution for those who are interested in designing with E Ink
displays. Hardware and software design support is available from E Ink directly.
5.65" E Ink Gallery Palette ™ 4000 display panel is suitable for various applications, e.g.
tag application.
The low power consumption of the AB1024-EGA is ideal for applications such as
electronic shelf labels and indicators.
An All-in-one IC is embedded in the EPD, it include source/gate driver, TCON (Timing
controller), PMIC(power management IC) and Temp. sensor. It allows users to rapidly
design systems by using E Ink displays.
The kit allows E Ink clients to experience loading and viewing custom images on 5.65" E
Ink Gallery Palette ™ 4000 EPD. The use of MCU board to drive an E Ink EPD is
demonstrated with the kit.
IAR Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is adopted to write, download, and
debug an application.

The HULK 5.65" E Ink Gallery Palette ™ 4000 demo Kit includes an MCU board and an E
Ink display adapter board. The MCU board and E Ink display adapter board are connected
via a 16 pin header. The mini USB port on the demo kit supplies data and power to the
MCU board and E Ink panel. Using the E Ink PC application, users can send image data to
the board or update settings.
Demo Kit
There are two LEDs on the MCU board, LED 1 and LED 2. LED 1 indicates the board is
powered. LED 2 is used as a multi-purpose function light
