Running the Demo:

The demo projects are created to run on supported Microchip Demo Boards and development hardware. Pre-generated hex files are available on the "Precompiled Hex" sub-directory found in the demo directory. These hex files are generated using the alternative hardware profiles found in the sub-directory named "Configs". Use the "Demo Compatibility Guide" when running pre-generated hex files appropriate for your hardware. 

 

The demo uses the Microchip Memory Disk Drive File System (MDDFS) Interface Library with the Microchip Graphics Library working on the Graphics PICtail™ Plus Board Version 3 (AC164127-3) mounted with the SD Card slot. JPEG images stored in the SD Card is displayed on the screen using the built in JPEG decoders in SSD1926 controller. The PIC microcontroller running the demo manages the display set up and sequencing the images on the screen. 

 

The demo works with 8-bit and 16-bit (PIC32 only) PMP interface. To use 16-bit bus the USE_16BIT_PMP compile time option must be uncommented in GraphicsConfig.h. All display orientations are supported. Currently high capacity cards are not supported (SD should be less than 2GB). Resolution of the images must be less than 2560x1920 (maximum scale down factor is 8). The card must be inserted before the demo starts.
