Examples\BezierClock

• \BezierClock - The sample application

BezierClock implements a fancy digital clock

and timer application with animated digits.

The application uses vector graphics to

render dynamically the different digits for

clock and timer. The change from one digit to

another is handled by moving the vector

points to get a smooth transition animation.

PUBLIC 18

Examples \BrickGame

• \BrickGame - The sample application

BrickGame implements a classic "paddle

and ball" game. In the game, a couple of

brick rows are arranged in the upper part

of the screen. A ball travels across the

screen, bouncing off the top and side

walls of the screen. When a brick is hit,

the ball bounces away and the brick is

destroyed. The player has a movable

paddle to bounce the ball upward,

keeping it in play.

PUBLIC 19

Examples

\GraphicsAccelerator

• \GraphicsAccelerator - This application

demonstrates the graphics performance of

the target by using sets of basic drawing

operations that are executed permanently

and continuously.

PUBLIC 20

Examples\PaperCutter

• \PaperCutter - This demo shows the

implementation of a paper cutting

machine, where the user can define the

pagination and format of the paper as

well as the cutting speed and the amount

of papers. The application contains

many rect effects and fade-in/fade-out

effects to change dynamically the layout

of the screen.

PUBLIC 21

Examples\WashingMachine

• \WashingMachine - This demo shows the

implementation of a washing machine with a

couple of fancy scrollable list widgets to

choose the washing program and

parameters. The speciality of this sample

application is the magnification effect of the

centered list items and the soft fade-in/fade-

out effects.

PUBLIC 22

Embedded Wizard

Studio

• Embedded Wizard Studio provides a

modern and well thought out user

interface.

• It is composed of only few parts

(windows).

PUBLIC 23

Embedded Wizard StudioArea Window name Description

1 Menu and Toolbar Provide a convenient option to access commands for typical workflow operations.

2 Navigation bar Displays a list with tabs representing all currently opened Composer pages

3 ComposerThe main editor of the Embedded Wizard Studio. It provides a simple visual

programming environment.

4Templates and

BrowserWith the Templates window you access and manage templates, project fragment.

5 InspectorThe Inspector window provides an alternative, attribute oriented view on the content of

the currently active Composer page.

6 Code EditorWith the Code Editor you implement and debug the very particular behavior of a GUI

component.

7 LogDisplays status reports, warnings and errors occurred during working with Embedded

Wizard.

8 Status barDisplays various context dependent informations like the current mouse cursor

position.

PUBLIC 24

Exploring the Build

Environment

• \GeneratedCode - This folder is used to receive the generated code

from an Embedded Wizard UI project. All template projects are building

the UI application out of this folder. You can create your own UI project

and generate the code into the subdirectory \GeneratedCode without

the need to adapt the project.

• \PlatformPackage - This folder contains the necessary source codes

and/or libraries of the iMX_RT Platform Package: Several Graphics

Engines for the different color formats (RGBA8888, RGB888, RGB565,

Index8 and LumA44) and the Runtime Environment (in the

subdirectory \RTE).

• \TargetSpecific - This folder contains all configuration files and

platform specific source codes. The different ew_bsp_xxx files

implement the bridge between the Embedded Wizard UI application and

the underlying board support package (NXP hardware drivers) in order

to access the display, the serial interface and the clock.

• \ThirdParty - This folder contains third-party source codes and tools:

PUBLIC 25

Custom specific

hardware

The subdirectory \TargetSpecific contains all

configuration files and platform specific source codes

• System clock (ew_bsp_system.c) - The first and the

important step is to configure the system and

peripheral clock.

• SDRAM (ew_bsp_system.c) - The SDRAM

configuration has to be adapted to your particular

SDRAM. If the start address and/or the size of the

SDRAM has changed, please adapt the settings for

the framebuffer and the memory pool within the

file ewconfig.h.

• MPU (ew_bsp_system.c) - Please take care to

configure the MPU properly in order to avoid

unexpected speculative read accesses outside of

valid memory regions.

PUBLIC 26

Custom specific

hardware

• USART (ew_bsp_console.c) - The usage of the serial connection

is highly recommended in order to get status and debug messages

during runtime. In case of using a NXP BSP it is possible to use

the preconfigured debug console.

• eLCDIF (ew_bsp_display.c) It is important to adjust, polarity,

timings, color format and layer settings according your dedicated

display.

• Pinout (Drivers/pin_mux.c) - To configure the pinout of your

custom hardware you need adapt the pin routing.

• Touch (ew_bsp_touch.c) - If your application requires touch

support, you can integrate a given touch driver provided by the

touch controller manufacturer or write your own.

As soon as these steps are done, you can create your own GUI

application or use one of the provided examples. If the size of your

display is different compared to the display of the MIMXRT1060-EVK

development board (480x272 pixel), please adapt the

attribute ScreenSize of the UI project and the size of the framebuffer

within the file ewconfig.h accordingly.
