This is an update to change notice #11113. (https://www.crystalfontz.com/news/pcn.php?id=11113)
The capacitive touch controller has gone EOL and is being replaced by a new touch controller. The firmware for the helper processor on our circuit board is also being modified to account for the new touch controller.
The touch controller is translated by the helper processor and does not connect to the EVE so no changes to external software need to be made.
The part numbers are changing as follows.
CFAF480128A0-039TC-A1-1 -> CFA480128E0-039TC
CFAF480128A0-039TC-A1-2 -> CFA480128E0-039TC-KIT
Reason:
To prepare for chip shortages, higher MOQs, and cost increases, Crystalfontz has determined to change the touch panel to a touch panel with a different touch controller.

Product Update #11065: Firmware update.
Products Affected:
CFAF480128A0-039TC-A1-1, CFAF480128A0-039TC-A1-2
Date Issued:
June 11, 2020
Summary:
Firmware update.
Description:
The change is firmware only and the only change is to turn the backlight off until after the initialization of the display.
Reason:
If power is provided to the display the backlight is on until the initialization is sent. We have modified the firmware so the display stays off until the end-user has the ability to control the backlight.
