Erik Olieman (http://mbed.org/users/Sissors/) joined the code development for the Mini-DK board.
Thanks to his input, we were able to obtain a tremendous speed gain, remove warnings, ...
An overview of all modifications is stored in modifs.h
The old page (http://mbed.org/users/frankvnk/code/LPC1768_Mini-DK/) contains the demo code.
IMPORTANT : Due to a change in the mbed libraries (Stream()), we cannot use the printf instruction - we need to use <SPI_TFT>.printf (example - see main.cpp in http://mbed.org/users/frankvnk/code/LPC1768_Mini-DK/)

WARNING: filetoflash (SD to CPU flash)¶
The SPI_TFT library contains an option to copy an image from the SD card to the CPU flash memory. This allows you to use an image as background without speed loss when writing other text and graphics.
By default, this option is enabled.
It can be disabled by uncommenting the #define mentioned below in Mini_DK.h:
#define NO_FLASH_BUFFER
Since the flash memory has limited write endurance, DO NOT use this feature when you intend to read multiple images from the SD card (eg: when used as a photo frame).
