How to import an image to Nios II as an array?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to convert any type of image into a c array which can be read by using the gimp bmp library in the Nios II IDE 9.0?

Yours,

Hany Assasa

    Something like the following will generate a data item initialised with the bytes from a file - which might do what you want: 

     
objcopy -I binary -O elf32-little -B nios2 
    --rename-section .data=.rodata,alloc,load,readonly,data,contents 
    image.bmp image.o
