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

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,
