Electronic Photo Frame

Abstract

The goal of the thesis work is to develop a photo frame device. Hence, it supplies a set of feasible solutions from hardware to software. Relatively speaking, the project chiefly focuses on software-oriented development. It is concerned with building the bootloader, the Linux Kernel, related drivers, file systems, and applications. After that, they are integrated together to form a brand-new embedded Linux distribution. The distribution is specifically designed to meet the requirement of the photo frame device. In contrast with complex software, the hardware implement is simply based on ready-made development board GEC2410. According to the actual need of the project, unnecessary components can be cut off logically. Lastly, the photo frame device implements the basic image browsing and manipulating functions as well as USB support.
