Yes, there is only on or off, 1-pixel depth.

That's actually more or less how I did the Rockbox logo array, I made code
that is now within "#if 0" in apps/main_menu.c output the values in
comma-separated hex values instead of passing the data to lcd_bitmap() and
*bing* I had an array...

The bmp.c file is initially Linus' code that I hacked up to compile and build
for Rockbox with the Rockbox logo bmp file. I simply put a #ifdef STANDALONE
around code that is still present but not used in the file.

Define that symbol and work away the flaws to build a stand alone tool.

The internal bitmap format is like this. w being the width of the given
bitmap:

             Pixel Column 0 1 2 ...

Pixel row 0 byte 0 bit 0 byte 1 bit 0 byte 2 bit 0
          1 byte 0 bit 1 byte 1 bit 1 byte 2 bit 1
          2 byte 0 bit 2 byte 1 bit 2 byte 2 bit 2
        ...
          7 byte 0 bit 7 byte 1 bit 7 byte 2 bit 7

          8 byte w bit 0 byte w+1 bit 0 byte w+2 bit 0
          9 byte w bit 1 byte w+1 bit 1 byte w+2 bit 1
        ...
