Hi everybody,

I'm trying to open a file using fopen but I don't know how to store the file on the microcontroller.

I'm using a LPC11C24 and the file I want to access is a bmp file.

Thank you,
Netsupra

Well, unfortunately, you are running an embedded system, where abstraction concepts of file and memory are not defined.

Usually, people convert the BMP file into C array (See http://www.deadnode.org/sw/bin2h/), then accessing the C-array directly, like

for (i = 0; i < mybmp_sz; i++) {
  *framebuffer = mybmp;
}
