In my application, I'm using an TFT display Himax HX8347 with LPC1766. I would like use emwin lib for create an better window using LPCxpresso compiler. So, how to use "emWin 5.12 Pre-Compiled Libraries for NXP ARM MCUs" with GUIDRV_CompactColor_16 (for HX8347) on LPC1766? Is it  possible?

How can we create our own drivers if the GUIDRV_Template.c file is not available to use as a guide? The header file is available, but no source file. I'm using LPCXpresso. Where can I get the GUIDRV_Template.c file or at least an example of what one looks like?

Hi Pixel3,
When you click on small plus in front of LCDConf.c file in Keil IDE, do you see included file LCDConf_CompactColor16.h?

hi

i have same problem, im using mdk 4.53 and my lcd controller is SSD1289 .

according to the manual:

1 - I made "LCDConf_CompactColor16.h" file in my project directory

2 -  added configurations to "LCDConf_CompactColor16.h" :

3 -  added "#define LCD_USE_COMPACT_COLOR_16" to LCDConf.h

4 -  and wrote "  GUI_DEVICE_CreateAndLink(GUIDRV_COMPACT_COLOR_16, // Display driver
                           GUICC_M565,              // Color conversion
                           0, 0);"
      in LCD_X_Config Function ;

when i compile the error "LCDConf.c(234): error:  #20: identifier "GUIDRV_COMPACT_COLOR_16" is undefined" appears;

what must i do ????????

Silvano:

The only drivers included with the emWin libraries is for linear, framebuffer-based displays (pixel clock LCDs running from SDRAM, etc.).  If you wish to use emWin with a dedicated LCD controller like the various Hima, Ilitek, etc., models, you will either need to write your own driver for it (as detailed in the emWin documentation) or license an appropriate driver from Segger.  For the latter, you can get in touch with them directly.
