GUI-Library for microcontroller [closed]

Answer 1

You can use the "Microchip Graphics Library" for free.

This includes GUI tool "Graphics Display Designer X" for designing screens and this outputs the "C" files for your designed screen.

I am using this tool which is very user friendly, but some of the widgets what you are looking you may not find.

Here is the link for GUI tool: Click here!

Answer 2

You may want to have a look at the Nano-X framework (formerly known as Microwindows): http://www.microwindows.org/

It claims to support down to a 16-bit DOS system, so I'm not sure if it's suitable for an 8-bit, but maybe the library can be pared down to just what you need.

I haven't used it, but at one point was considering looking into using it for some simple display UI (though on a 32-bit ARM system). Unfortunately, the project shifted gears before I actually did anything with it. I'd be interested in what your take on it is (or how well it works if you decide to try to use it).

Answer 3

Atmel (now owned by Microchip) actually makes a GUI library targeted at their microcontrollers.

This is part of the now called Microchip® Advanced Software Framework.

Answer 4

The CodeVisionAVR development environment now has graphical libraries for XMEGA.

The CodeVisionAVR C Compiler features a powerful graphic library for LCDs with resolutions from 84x48 up to 800x480 pixels.

However, it is not free.

Answer 5

You should take a look at Contiki [wikipedia.org]

Besides being a small and elegant operating system for many 8/16/32-bit microcontrollers, it also features a GUI toolkit. It runs on the Atmel AVR!

For your convenience, here is a direct link to the The Contiki Toolkit (CTK) source code.

Answer 6

I personally used PEG (at work), but it is not for free. You just need to write a small layer of adaptation and use it. You can also look at Qt or minigui.
