Tool to display pictures at frame buffer

Hello, I am searching for a tool to display a picture directly to the framebuffer. I know I can show raw pictures by copying them direct (cp pic.raw /dev/fb0) but I am looking for a tool to display a standard format e.g. bmp, ppm or jpg... If the tool is easy compile (without many dependencies) it would also help me to get it running at my XScale. Kind regards and thank you for your help. Cons

Maybe zgv is what you're looking for? It's a framebuffer based image viewer.

I highly recommend DirectFB, if you are looking for a library for embedded systems. I use it on a MPX8349 board with great results. In addition to having functionality for displaying standard images it has heaps more advance drawing functionality. If you are just looking for an application to do this, I suggest compiling one of the examples in DirectFB site (http://

which displays images. NOTE: you may have to compile the DirectFB library for your specific platform and include image formats you want (eg: Jpg, gif ...). From my experience, Its pretty straight forward to configure and compile this.
