STM32 user-interface design environment adds
support for powerful NeoChrom graphics accelerator with new screen
rotation and texture-mapping capabilities
Geneva, August 9,
2022 –
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, has released version 4.20 of its TouchGFX
user-interface design software for STM32 microcontrollers. The
latest updates include support for ST’s new NeoChrom graphics
accelerator, which is integrated in advanced MCUs such as the new
STM32U5 series.
Developed from ST’s Chrom-ART Accelerator™ that manipulates
pixels and shapes, NeoChrom allows full-screen rotation at any
angle and supports texture mapping for smooth, fluid graphics and
enhanced ease of use.
Panasonic, the global consumer-electronics brand, has used
TouchGFX with STM32 microcontrollers for several years in the
creation of its home appliance products. “The quality and design of
the TouchGFX tools, as well as the great user experiences we have
been able to implement with ST’s support, contributes to our brand
awareness and experience. TouchGFX enables our engineers to be more
productive,” said Wang Cong, Director, Device Solution Development
Center, Panasonic Software Development Center Dalian Co,Ltd.
With the NeoChrom accelerator on-chip, the latest STM32 MCUs
elevate embedded graphics performance to that approaching the
application processors of today’s smartphones and tablets. On the
other hand, the MCUs are more affordable, power efficient, and
easier to use. They can run on simple operating systems such as
FreeRTOS and Microsoft® Azure ThreadX, or even bare metal.
“TouchGFX 4.20 now lets developers everywhere unleash
NeoChrom-accelerated graphics in embedded systems containing our
latest and most energy-efficient STM32 MCUs,” added Ricardo
de-sa-Earp, Executive Vice President, General-Purpose
Microcontroller Sub-Group, Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group,
STMicroelectronics.
TouchGFX 4.20 adds further important new features for
developers, including support for importing and exporting custom
widgets. The environment comprises TouchGFXDesigner, the graphical
development tool, and X-CUBE-TOUCHGFX embedded software, which
provides all the firmware needed to run the user interface on the
target MCU. Fully integrated with the STM32Cube MCU-development
ecosystem, TouchGFX provides a complete end-to-end workflow that
simplifies design and accelerates time to market.
TouchGFX 4.20 is available now, free of charge, and can be
