- Makefile (OBJS): added ppm.o and ppmimg.o - ppm.h (load_ppm), ppm.c: PPM file loader, adapted from eda-tools/schhist/ppmdiff/ppmdiff.c - ubb-vga.h (img_name, ppmimg), ppmimg.c: PPM image to frame buffer converter - ubb-vga2.c (usage, main): the threshold is now set with the option -l - ubb-vga2.c (usage, main): if a second argument is given, treat it as a PPM file - ubb-vga2.c (usage): also documented option -t
Ben Blinkenlights ================= This project is a proof of concept implementation of Rikard Lindstrom's idea of using the Ben's 8:10 card slot as a general extension interface also for devices that don't speak MMC or SD/SDIO. The application is a simple LED circuit, as suggested by David Samblas. The 8:10 card slot gives access to six GPIOs, a 3.3 V supply that can be switched on and off by software, and ground. We use a simple form of multiplexing to drive ten LEDs with this interface. Note that one should only light one LED at a time. If multiple LEDs are lit, they will share the current though the common resistor, and will thus be less bright than a single LED.
