S12XE & eGUI

[Eric_t]

Hi,

I have to redesign a legacy device that uses the mc9s12dg256 controller and a seven segment display.
The controller will be replaced by an S12XE controller and the seven segment display with a TFT display.
The demands for the graphics are very simple, it needs only simple texts, no buttons, option or check boxes.
It seems that eGUI is a good solution, it has minimal RAM and flash footprint.

Now I have to familiarize my self with eGUI.
I have concluded that I need to use the DEVKIT-S12XE Development Board for 9S12XEP100 MCUs and TWR-LCD (the connection between DEVKIT-S12XE and TWR-LCD will be through the SPI).

The problem is that I cannot find any example for HCS12 and eGUI.
I mean a very simple project, just a Hello World to use it as starting point.
Also I cannot find any guide to help to start a project from scratch.
I have only found a project for kinetis with IAR and for coldfire with codewarrior.

Does anyone have success with HCS12 and eGUI?

Can anyone give me a link where I can download any example with HCS12 and eGUI to use it as starting point?

I will appriciate any help.

Thank you

Hi,

Unfortunately, eGUI is no longer supported and we don’t have any project for S12(X). The eGUI is open source now available under LGPL license on GitHUB. You can check the below address for more information.

There is also an application note for S12X and TFT LCD:

XGATE Library: Driving a TFT LCD Panel application note (AN3493) with software.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the response.

Is there any example with HCS08 and eGUI?

I believe that it easier to port the HCS08 project to HCS12.

It seems that porting the codefire projects to HCS12 is not so easy.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm not aware of any example with HCS08 MCU, unfortunately.
