stm32f4_img2c

Generates C and Header files from an image for displaying it on DM-LCD35RT module using standar library. This is an alternative for Embedded Resource Editor GUI by ST, that doesn't have support for Linux.

Bug Report

1. ImageMagick sometimes doesn't conver the RGB888 to RGB565, so, I suggest to use this web page https://online-converting.com/image/convert2bmp to conver any image into RGB565, then use stm32f4_img2c to generate the c code

1. Getting Started

Given the fact it uses ImageMagick, the input image can be in any format that ImageMagick can handle, such as: PNG, JPG, BMP, etc. Be aware that the image size for this LCD is 320x240 max. stm32f4_img2c won't verify the size, because it might be helpful to generate BMP code for all image sizes.

1. Compile the sources
2. Give executable attributes:

chmod +x stm32f4_img2c

2. Generate the code from any image

stm32f4_img2c input_image.JPG output/directory

3. if you already have and image on BMP RGB565, call the bmp2c:

bin/stm32f4_bmp2c input_image.bmp input_image.bmp output/directory

Yes, the input image is twice

2. Compilation

1. Create a new folder

mkdir bin

2. Compile
