This is a BMP library for image downgrade.

Original code repo: http://turbina.gsd.inesc-id.pt:4040/tiago/bmp_downgrade

To setup this library and example you just need the standard GNU C++ compiler (g++).

To compile the code you must use the Makefile included in the repo.

$ make clean
$ make

You will have generated a binary file called EasyBMPexample.

To run the code you must execute the EasyBMPexample binary.

$ ./EasyBMPexample

This will generate a new downgraded version of your image (using 16 bpp RGB value - RGB565). You will also generate a raw_output file which is a C char array representation of the image for bare metal display in a development board.
