Hello,
How convert FreeRtos an image in bitmap.h for the display of the LM3S8962’s demo-board?
Is there one script or a program to do that?
Where can i find it?
Thank’s,
Marco

It is basically a standard bitmap (16 colour I think from memory), with the header cut off, then converted to a C array.  I wrote a little utility to do this myself.  I can send it to you but its undocumented, if you are interested write to r (dot) barry _at_ freertos.org.

The newer LMI boards that were released last month include a utility for creating the bitmaps but their format is different.  It might be worth contacting LMI to see if they also have a utility for the 8962.

Regards.
