ETA for N18 display module driver?

@ Sejay, I’m seeing similar results to you. On Hydra (Socket 4) and Cerberus (Socket 6), I get a white or black screen only, no images.

On Spider (Socket 6), I get my first image to display, but then get a black box instead of the second 100x100 image when it gets called.

            Bitmap picture = Resources.GetBitmap(Resources.BitmapResources.N18TestImage);

            display_N18.DrawBitmap(picture);

            Thread.Sleep(3000);           

            // Usage example #2. Passing raw bitmap information to the driver, placing it at a certain location.
            byte[] newRender = new byte[100 * 100 * 2];

            picture = Resources.GetBitmap(Resources.BitmapResources.N18TestImage_100x100);

            Array.Copy(newRender, picture.GetBitmap(), newRender.Length);

            display_N18.DrawBitmapRawData(newRender, 0, 0, 100, 100);


            // Use Debug.Print to show messages in Visual Studio's "Output" window during debugging.
            Debug.Print("Program Finished");
        }
    }
}

Images are here (since the forum won’t let me attach BMPs or ZIP for some reason):
