Can anyone tell me how I can load an image file like .jpeg or .bmp on
to the system ace compact flash embedded on virtex 2 Pro device?

I need to store image onto the compact flash and then do some
processing on it. I tried using the different functions in
sysace_stdio.h header file like sysace_fopen etc but couldn't find a
way to load an image file onto the compact flash, so please help me in
this regard

copy myimage.jpg f:\

where f: is the compact flash drive

later just use file functions from your code, they do work !

elaborately.

the C code?

Please help me in this regard.

If you have a Compact Disk reader/writer that attaches to a PC, one
could use the DOS copy command like Antti mentioned to write your file
to the compact disk.
I have an IntelliFlash USB 6 to 1 memory reader/writer that lets me
access the compact disk from my Windows Computer.

Try to format the CF card once under Linux with
mkfs -t msdos /dev/sda1
We have had a problem using System ACE with
CF cards formatted under Windows XP (FAT16).
After mkfs, you can use Windows to copy files
on the card. You should then be able to open
the files using sysace_fopen.

Good luck!
