Freescale eGUI: Graphical LCD Driver for MCUs/MPUs  Favorite



The complimentary Freescale embedded graphical user interface (eGUI) allows single chip microcontroller (MCU) systems to implement a graphical user interface and drive the latest generation of color graphics LCD panels with integrated display RAM and simple serial peripheral interface (SPI) or parallel bus interface. The evolution of LCD panels integrating the display RAM and LCD controller means that your products can easily be implemented without the need for a conventional microprocessor  (MPU) with integrated LCD driver hardware and external display RAM.  The eGUI has also been expanded to support conventional LCD panels and ColdFire LCD MPUs, giving a complimentary entry level solution for these platforms. To support the eGUI, Freescale also provides a "converter utility"  to change graphical bit maps and fonts into the "C" language arrays needed by the eGUI.

The Freescale eGUI can be used stand alone or integrated into the MQX operating system.


Features
