Microchip Technology Driver Development Process

A collection of driver development tutorials are provided with MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite to help users develop graphics drivers using the MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite development process.

The MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite offers display and touch driver development support using MPLAB Harmony Configurator (MHC) display and touch configurable components.

Display Driver Components

  • LE GLCD Controller Component
  • LE ILI9488 Controller Component
  • LE LCC Controller Component
  • LE SSD1936 Controller Component
  • LE External Controller Component

The LE drivers for GLCD and LCC are integrated, pre-coded and only require configuration using their respective components. The LE External Controller is a generic component capable of creating a SSD1963 or ILI9488 display driver or a driver from a similar class of display controller. The user of the LE External Controller component use configuration options to create the necessary initialization, blitting, and backlight routines.

Touch Driver Components

  • maXTouch Controller Component
  • Generic Touch Component
  • Peripheral Touch Component

The drivers for maXTouch and peripheral touch are integrated, pre-coded and only require configuration using their respective components. The Generic Touch Component is capable of creating a display driver or a driver from a similar class of touch controller. The user of the Generic Touch component use configuration options to create the necessary initialization and event routines.

A basic understanding of these components are helpful when creating drivers for other display and touch drivers.
