Development Software

• MPLAB® Harmony Software Framework

  • MPLAB Harmony is a flexible, abstracted, fully integrated firmware development environment for PIC32 microcontrollers.

• MPLAB® Harmony Graphics Library

  • The MPLAB Harmony Graphics Library is highly modular and can be used with Microchip´s 32-bit microcontrollers. Supports up to 24 bpp color depth, gradients, transparency, and alpha blending. This library is free to Microchip customers and is available as part of MPLAB Harmony

• Visiual Design Tools

  • Visual Design Tools that are part of MPLAB Harmony enable development of interactive GUIs

• MPLAB® XC Compiler for PIC32 MCUs

  • Full-featured ANSI-compliant C compiler for PIC32 microcontrollers

• MPLAB® X IDE

  • Free Integrated Development Environment for all Microchip microcontrollers

​

Application Demos

• LCC

This demonstration provides the ability to display alpha blend and gradient colors through the software graphics controller. The demonstration renders four folders for alpha blend, gradient, picture-in-picture (PIP), and performance for all PIC32 devices.​

• Primitive

The Primitive example demonstrates primitive rendering of geometry, images, and fonts. The demonstration displays various circles, lines, rectangles, images depths, alias and non-aliased fonts​​

• Media_image_viewer

Media_image_viewer demonstration provides the ability to load and render image files via a FAT32 File System stored on external SD card media. The image formats supported in this demonstration includes JPEG, BMP, static GIF, transparent GIF and animated GIF. The application also demonstrates the ability of the MPLAB Harmony Graphics Library to automatically perform best-fit to the screen by down-sizing images with a higher pixel resolution than the screen.

• Graphics_showcase

Demonstrates a sub-set of capabilities offered by the Graphics Library utilizing Low-Cost Controllerless features and the MTCH6303 PCAP Touch Controller​
