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. This support includes: 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.
