GUI-Library for microcontroller [closed]

Answer 1

NuttX is a real-time operating system for microcontrollers. The author has starting a developing some gui primitives for LCD displays for it.

Answer 2

In addition to Judge Maygarden's list RAMTEX provide libraries specifically aimed at small graphic LCDs. Again not free, but is this is for commercial use, remember that if you did it yourself, it may take many man hours to achieve a polished product, so consider that before building your own.

At the rates my company accounts for my time (as opposed to my pay rate), if it took more than five hours, I'd be better off buying the Ramtex library (about two days if you only take my pay rate into account). If however you have the time and inclination, it is not a difficult task, and probably fun.

Answer 3

I would consider rolling your own "immediate mode" GUI. Jari Komppa has a good tutorial about them. It's a lot easier than you may think, and you'll probably find most GUI libraries--even those targeting embedded systems--are a bit heavy-weight for your system.

If you insist on using a third-party library, below are a few I found. I've never used any of them and they are probably fairly expensive.

• emWin
• C/PEG
• easyGUI

Answer 4

I also wrote a library which supports nearly any display technology: µGUI

http://www.embeddedlightning.com/ugui/

µGUI is a free and open source graphic library for embedded systems. It is platform-independent and can be easily ported to almost every micro-controller system. As long as the display is capable of showing graphics, µGUI is not restricted to a certain display technology. Therefore display technologies such as LCD, TFT, E-Paper, LED or OLED are supported. The whole module consists of two files: ugui.c and ugui.h.

This might be helpful as well

Answer 5

Rich Quinnell mentions "... I saw a demonstration of Java applications running on an STM32-F3 MCU..." http://www.microcontrollercentral.com/author.asp?section_id=1741&doc_id=253618

I guess it is what you are looking for?

Answer 6

I have been working on a similar project. Closest thing I could find are in the following links, but I doubt you will find a library with all the features you desire. These will only setup basic drawing functions, but it's a start. There are also some useful tools for bitmap converting and font creators if you dig around.

Almost everything else I have seen here is way overkill for what the poster seems to be asking for.
