Requires BMP file in root directory of QSPI Flash

Post by P1so »

I'm working around with Adafruit_ImageReader library and SPIFlash library for my project to have one image as background. I came across many examples which said "Requires BMP file in root directory of QSPI Flash". I assume there is a way to put bmp to flash. I don't seem to find a way to do that. I can read the image from SD card to RAM. Is it possible to put the image from SD card to flash? If, yes How? I am so lost on this part.

Hi, what board are you using ? Can you link the examples you are following ?
I believe that what they usually do is have you create a drive on the flash by first installing Circuitpython (which then gets overwriten by your code) like in this guide.

Wow... I am working with Arduino, so I fully skipped CircuitPython everywhere. Thank you for your guidance!
