Can I load bitmap/font resources asynchronously？

Question

Hello EW team,

The bitmap/font resources take up a lot of space of the flash, so it will take some time to load them when boot up.

I want to accelerate the bootup speed of my device, so can I load bitmap/font resources asynchronously? Or just load a part of the resources when boot up?

Thank you!

Hello,

I suppose you copy the entire flash content into RAM, right? If not, resources are already loaded on demand. That means, the first time your application accesses a bitmap resource, the resource is loaded in internal cache. Resources not needed are not loaded in advance.

I hope it helps you further.
