ILI9341 connected to PSoC 5LP via SPI.

This article will explain how the µGFX library can be added to an existing PSoC Creator project.

Used Tools

The following tools were used to create this guide:

• PSoC Creator 3.3 CP3
• PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit (CY8CKIT-059)

However, this article has been kept as generic as possible and should be usable for any PSoC platform.

Structure

We recommend using the following folder structure:

.
├── Project 1

Adding µGFX

This guide will describe how to add the µGFX library to a PSoC Creator project using the Single-File-Inclusion technique.

The first step is to add the file gfx_mk.c which can be found in the /src directory of the µGFX library directory to the project. Additionally, we add the driver file of the driver(s) that we are going to use which can be found in the /drivers directory of the µGFX library. Lastly, we add the gfxconf.h configuration file (a template can be found in the top level directory of the µGFX library).

Next, we need to add the top level uGFX library directory and the driver directory to the compiler include path.
