Image Tool for embedded systems

eduardabelló — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 08:46:02 GMT

Hi there, I'm starting to work on a embedded system with an LCD display using mkl82z128vlk7 as microcontroller and I'm wondering if nxp has any special tool or app for image conversion into any suitable format for embedded systems?

Thank you very much

Google or any other web search engine probably will give you many suggestions.

What I suggest ist the LCD Image Converter from Sourceforge (lcd-image-converter - Browse Files at SourceForge.net ), e.g. see https://learn.adafruit.com/steampunk-cameo-necklace/bitmaps-and-code

I hope this helps,

Erich

Thank you Erich, I'm wondering if you know the best format for storing the images on a SD card, our purpose is to load all the images on an external SD card and read them at the time to display those images

I would store it in a format easy to read for the microcontroller: either in your own format or e.g. the BMP format which is easy to read. Under the assumption that disk space is not an issue for you.
