Image to hex file converter

[akhilvarma]

Hey, I'm tring to convert an image file (bmp, gif) to a long string of hex numbers (hex file). I'm planning to upload the image in this form to an LCD. Is there any software available to do the same?

Hi akhilvarma. Welcome to the forum

Yes. Take a look at the command line 'od'. For instance:

od -x file.gif

For more details:

man od

Hope it helps. Regards.
