Description

This demonstration displays a sequence of picture files stored on the CF card accompanied
by audio playback of a music file stored on the CF card. Pressing the East/West (E/W)
buttons on the board manually switches to the previous/next slide. The North/South
(N/S) buttons on the board change the volume. The center (C) button toggles between
pausing and continuing the slide show.
Note:
connected to the DVI port. It also requires a headphone or external speaker connected to the audio
jacks.
In this program, the processor reads the CF file system through the System ACE MPU port
and loads the audio/video data into DDR2 SDRAM. The processor then controls the flow
of data to the VGA controller and audio controller connected to the internal CoreConnect
bus.

Setup

To change or customize the side show, follow these instructions:

Note:
capacity System ACE CF card than the one shipped with the ML50x board.
Try to add your own slides and music. For example, in Microsoft PowerPoint, you can
export a presentation to HTML for a 640 x 480 screen. You can then convert the JPG or GIF
slides to BMP format using Microsoft Photo Editor that is installed on many computers.
Rename the BMP files to image<XX>.bmp and copy to the System ACE CF card. Now you
can run your own customized slide show. For audio, try to extract a song from a CD into a
WAV file. Copy the WAV file into the System ACE CF card and name it sound.wav.

This demonstration requires a DVI monitor or a VGA monitor with a DVI-to-VGA adapter
Place the picture files in the root directory.
Name the picture files image<XX>.bmp where <XX> is a numerical sequence starting
from 01 and counting up.
The program reads the picture files through the System ACE MPU interface starting
from image01.bmp then counts upward. A maximum of 16 images can be read. The
BMP files must be sized as 640 x 480 pixels with 24-bit color.
Give the sound file the name sound.wav and encode it as a 44.1 KHz, 16-bit stereo
wave file (CD format). The sound file cannot be greater than 32 MB in size.
When adding additional images or larger sound files, it might be necessary to use a higher
