TouchGFX

TouchGFX is delivered as one X-Cube package the X-Cube-TouchGFX.

With this you have all you need to do a full implementation of your GUI application for STM32 based hardware. TouchGFX consists of three main parts – two tools and one framework.

• TouchGFX Designer: An easy-to-use GUI builder in TouchGFX that lets you create the visual appearance of your TouchGFX application.
• TouchGFX Generator: A STM32CubeMX plugin where the user can configure and generate a custom TouchGFX Abstraction Layer (AL) for their STM32-based hardware.
• TouchGFX Engine: The TouchGFX C++ framework that drives the UI application. Handles screen updates, user events and timing. The advanced TouchGFX technology is optimized for STM32 microcontrollers, giving you maximum performance with minimum CPU load and memory usage.

SHIPTide

The SHIP GUI Development Process: Design, Export, Try

Design

SHIPTide is the SHIP Total IDE… the rapid GUI development tool that runs on Windows. You develop your GUI on the PC with very little coding – SHIPTide helps you with screen layout, importing fonts and images (there are no font/image converters needed outside SHIPTide – it does all that), and arranging your snippets of code that wires the GUI together.

Export

When you want to try your GUI on a SIM, export the cargo file from SHIPTide. This processes all your fonts, images, text, multi-language, layout, script (you get the picture) and builds a single data file we call the “cargo”.

Try

Connect the SIM to your PC and SHIPTide downloads the GUI cargo file over the USB port into the FLASH of the SIM. The SIM reboots, and instantly your GUI appears. The SHIPEngine firmware on the SIM “runs” your GUI and makes it come alive.
