Image viewer demo - picture format

Weihua Sheng

Hello,

In the image viewer demo that comes with the OMAP3EVM Linux PSP, it uses framebuffer to display the images (IMAGENN.R16). Does anyone know which format (RGB or sth else) this R16 image file is stored? Its size is (unsigned char*) X_RES*Y_RES *(BITS_PER_PIXEL/NUM_BITS_PER_BYTE), which actually is X_RES*Y_RES*2 uchar array. How can I convert a jpeg or a bmp into this format?

Thank you.

I have not tried this on the OMAP3, but I believe the format will be the same as on some of our Davinci devices (i.e. RGB565), in which case there is an application note here that may be helpful, as it includes a utility to convert a bmp file to an 'r16' file.
