Hello,

I'm sorry - but I do not fully understand what you want to do or what you have tried so far. Maybe we should clarify some wording to get a common understanding:

I need to Read the Binary Image (.bin file) saved in the  SD card of the IMXRT1170 in Embedded Wizard studio

Are you talking about an image (aka picture or bitmap) that you want to load from SD card? Or do you want to load the binary (aka executable) for your target from SD card? Please note, that Embedded Wizard Studio is the IDE that is running on your PC. How do you want to load something from the target SD card into Embedded Wizard Studio?

i used Resources::ExternBitmap to read the file from the desktop

Which desktop are you talking about?

Please note, that the Extern Bitmap Interface is intended to load images (like a JPEG file or PNG file) during runtime on your target so that you can use it as an image within your GUI application. It is an interface that you can implement in order to load the desired images. This means, if you want to load images from a SD card, you need to integrate your image decoder and your SD card reader. For this purpose, please have a look to the chapter Extern Bitmap Interface, which describes this integration aspects. I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Manfred.

yes from the SD card inserted in IMXRT1170

How should i load the .bin image from SD card of IMXRT1170 controller to Embedded Wizard Studio.

I have already saved a .bin image in the  SD card of the IMXRT1170 (with BIN.bin name).  i need to Read that Binary Image (.bin file) from the same location(SD card of the IMXRT1170)  to Embedded wizard studio.

Generally to read an image from the PC(C drive or D Drive) directly i used  Resources::ExternBitmap by giving the right location of the file and it worked out, but i am unable to read .bin file from the SD card placed on IMXRT1170 controller. But with respect to SD card of IMXRT1170 processor i am unable to know how to find the location of the file. if i get to to know the location of the file saved in SD card of IMXRT1170 i can  give the path to ExternBitmap and accomplish the task .
