Hi,

Freescale provides graphical user interface (GUI) solutions for embedded devices. Freescale’s PEG Pro, PEG Plus and PEG Lite product offering includes a GUI library for embedded development that works elegantly with real-time operating systems.

PEG Graphics Software|Freescale

the generation option can read out Binary File Format and generate the corresponding C/C++ code.

IDE can add the generated library to user project, burning flash , show the picture to screen.

does this answer your question?

Have a great day,
Zhang Jun

Hi Jan,

Zhang has good information for you.

Inside KSDK_1.3 there are other options to investigate too but not well documented (yet).

Please review this post for one alternative:

FRDM-K64F Ethernet

And another alternative:

C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.3.0\tools\tfs_generator

This is a command line tool that will take one parameter as a path to a folder that contains your image files. It will process then into a TFS (trivial filesystem) file that you can then include in your project.

Example:

Open Windows Command Prompt to C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.3.0\tools\tfs_generator

Create a new folder (ex: mkdir test).

Copy several image files into the folder test.

Now while in the C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.3.0\tools\tfs_generator folder, type "mktfs.exe test" .

This will create a file nio_tfs_data.c that has your image files in it to be used in your project.

Regards,

David
