What is the method to be used to transfer a JPEG or BMP image from the Linux host computer into the mini2440 to display it on the screen? Is there a way of doing this in C?
How to download pictures to 2440 under Linux
I transfer files via FTP on the LAN cable. Qt is the program to create gui apps. So there are two ways to do this: 1. Create server/host apps using QSocket and send the pic directly to the app on the mini2440. 2. Simply copy a file to a directory on the arm9. The file would always have the same name, or alternate between two names if you get a conflict with a file being in use. Then set up a timer in you arm9 app to reload the file on a given time basis. 3. Simply transfer all the pics via FTP with names like pic001, pic002, etc. and have your mini2440 app read them in sequence. I have not done this personally, so I can't guarantee this will work, but hopefully it will get you started. james h
By the way, acceptable file formats are bmp and png, but I do not think you can load a jpeg into a Qt application. james
