I didn't think I'd build out my benchmarks for this product we're about to pitch to investors by the time of our meeting tomorrow. The deadline was dropped on me last minute. I said no guarantees that I'd have *anything* due to all of the unknowns and hurdles I had in front of me.
I
1. Fixed CubeMX's rendering issues caused by having a decent GPU in my system and Java being characteristically awful.
2. Fixed CubeMX hanging whenever I try to create a new project
3. Convinced CubeMX to generate a makefile i could use with the GCC arm cross compiler
4. Made a C# program that generated makefile content to import LVGL into the project
5. Found my way around Cube such that I was able to enable DMA, 6 SPI busses with DMA, Chrom-Art acceleration, DMA2D acceleration, CPU instruction caching (disabled by default!)
6. Learned how to hack GCC linker scripts so I could both use all of the RAM available (it's segmented) and actually fit the code into RAM.
7. Learned how to convince LVGL to use multiple displays, and all the STM32 and ARM hardware graphics acceleration available
8. Learned SPI/DMA under STM32
9. Structured a workflow and source tree where I can get CubeMX to regenerate the code for my project whenever i make a settings change without blowing up all my code
10. Orchestrated framerate counting and some phony IO to give me the data I needed for the meeting. I didn't think I'd have it benching this deep. I thought I wouldn't have LVGL integrated by today EOB.
Gosh, I got lucky. Man, I feel good about this. It's almost like I know what I'm doing, but that can't be right.

Frankly, I'm a bit shocked myself. My estimate would have been two weeks. It was closer to two days.
I crammed, but even then, I'm surprised that it bore fruit.

Yeah, and it always makes the rest of us look like slackers.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I bought this book from eBay.
I try to see if there is any valuable picture to insert into my online articles.
do I violate any copyright ?
diligent hands rule....

|

I think not; I think the book is too old to still hold a copyright.
|

As Kenneth says, the book is likely to be out of copyright by now. However, I would still credit the book with any pictures you copy. A simple line "Source: 1867 Encyclopaedia of Architecture" is sufficient.
I would check to see if the copyright was renewed. There should be a page close to the start of the book giving the printing history.

Daniel Pfeffer wrote: I would check to see if the copyright was renewed. Copyright laws (just like patent laws) vary among jurisdictions. Laws in the US of A may differ from laws in European countries. The Berne Convention sets a framework for the different national laws, but there is some leeway and room for different interpretations. In many cases, parties have been (very) slow at implementing the Convention in their laws. US of A was very late (1989) in ratifying the Berne Convention. I do not know if it is yet fully implemented in the laws.
In Norway, copyright expires 70 years after the death of the (last, if more than one) creator (Berne minimum is 50 years), and it can not be renewed. From what I have picked up about the Berne Convention, I haven't seen anything about renewal. As Berne sets a minimum of 50 years, I guess a country could also allow renewal, so it could be that the US of A provides for this. However, as copyright laws (like other laws) only apply in a given jurisdiction, any such renewed copyright would have no legal power e.g. in Norway.
However, the author of this book is from England, and the book published in London. The Berne Convention states that when copyright protection expires in the country of origin, it expires in other countries as well. So even if the US of A allows renewal of copyright on works by authors from the US of A, it cannot be applied to works by English authors.
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.
