Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a new M3 2.7" tag here (EL027H3BRA) and flashed SOL_M3_Uni_full_0027 on it. The device is booting up (green LED flashing, Display is refreshing), but nothing (apart from a thin colored "garbage" line on the far right of the display) is being displayed. However, the tag is polling regularly, so the firmware seems to be running normal.

EL027H3BRA_1
EL027H3BRA_2

Information as seen by the AP:

0000051D098E0006
M2 1.54"
152x152 fw:39 0x27
CH 26, RSSI -37, LQI 255, 3.163V

So both the tags MAC-address is inccorrect (original address is 051D098EB490) and both type and resolution are wrong.
Dump of UICR:
m3_27_i_051d098eb490.bin.log

Hi there, I dont have the same tag. You can try modifying this line and the line below to 300 and 200. It will manually tell OEPL that this tag has the correct resolution.
And modify this line to STYPE_SIZE_026 so it will show solum 2.6 in your AP. See if the splash screen works as expected.

I just noticed that the tag is supported by the latest M3 firmware now, so this issue can be closed.

@olanwe which firmware did you flash to get it working? Did you also flash the UICR
I have the samel problem and alrady flashed 0029 - but does not work.

Hi @michilehr, I flashed the one available here: https://github.com/OpenEPaperLink/Tag_FW_nRF52811/tree/main/tag_fw

I made a backup of the infopage first but I did not have to use it. As the tag was already running with the old firmware (i.e. logging into the AP but only displaying a thin noise line) it was even sufficient to do an over-the-air update using the OTA-version (Newton_M3_Universal-ota.bin) to get it working.

Nice. I have just used your Dump of the UICR and it works. Thanks for sharing!
