MiniGUI1.33 open source version ported on ARMSYS2410-B

0. Preparation

(a) Create the following directory:

minigui

|--build_x86 /Build MiniGUI running on PC

|--build_arm /Build MiniGUI running on ARM

|--tarball /All package resource storage points

(b) download MiniGUI:

Download libminigui-1.3.3.tar.gz and minigui-res-1.3.3.tar.gz from www.minigui.com and put

tarball directory

(Starting directory: minigui)

#cd build_x86

#tar zxvf ../tarball/libminigui-1.3.3.tar.gz

#tar zxvf ../tarball/minigui-res-1.3.3.tar.gz

#cd ../build_arm

#tar zxvf ../tarball/libminigui-1.3.3.tar.gz

#cd ..

(c) download and install qvfb:

Download qvfb-1.0.tar.gz from www.minigui.com and put it into the tarball directory

#cd build_x86

#tar zxvf ../tarball/qvfb-1.0.tar.gz

#cd qvfb-1.0

#./configure

#make

#make install

#cd ..

(d) Create a sample program:

1. Build MiniGUI for PC:

(a) build lib

#Cd build_x86

#Cd libminigui-1.3.3

#./configure

#make

#make install

#cd ..

(b) install resource

#cd minigui-res-1.3.3

#make install

#cd ..

(Resources are installed to /usr/local/lib/minigui/)

(c) build and run test

#gcc –o test test.c –lpthread –lminigui –ljpeg –lpng –lz –lttf

Change the values ​​of gal_engine and ial_engine of the [system] group in /usr/local/etc/MiniGUI.cfg to qvfb

#qvfb –width 640 –height 480 –depth 16 &

#./test

#cd ..

2. Build MiniGUI for ARM:

(a) build lib

#cd build_arm

#cd libminigui-1.3.3

#make menuconfig

In the default settings

Change "NEWGAL" to "OLDGAL" in "GAL engine options";

Keep the last three items in "Font options" and uncheck the rest;

Remove support for JPG and PNG in "Image options";

In the "Development environment options", set "Compiler" to "arm-linux-gcc" and "Path prefix" to "/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux" (assuming the cross-compilation environment is installed in /usr/local/arm). All other options are set to their default values. Save the changes and exit menuconfig

#make

#make install

#cd ..

(b) build test.c

#arm-linux-gcc –o test test.c –lpthread –lminigui

This will create a file called test.

(c) Setting up the root file system

Assume that there is already a root file system available

Copy the library files previously installed in /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/arm-linux/lib to the /lib directory of the target file system. If you are not sure which library files in that directory need to be copied, you can repeat the process of 2.(a) and change the value of "Path prefix" to the path of an empty directory you created in advance. For example, I created a new directory /root/need and changed the value of "Path prefix" to "/root/need". Then after executing 2.(a), all the files in the /root/need/lib directory are the MiniGUI library files we need to copy. (This method is very redundant-_-)

Copy the /usr/local/etc/MiniGUI.cfg file to the /usr/local/etc/ directory of the target file system, and modify the file, change the value of gal_engine in the [system] group to "fbcon", the value of ial_engine to "console", the value of mdev to "/dev/mouse", the value of mtype to "PS2", and change the defaultmode in the [fbcon] group to "640x480-16bpp" (depending on the actual situation).

Copy the entire directory /usr/local/lib/minigui/res to /usr/local/lib/minigui on the target file system.

Finally, copy the compiled test file to /bin of the target file system.

(d) Setting up the mouse

My LCD doesn't have a touch screen, so I need to set up a mouse. My mouse uses a USB port.

Modify the file system's /etc/init.d/rcS and add a line: "ln /dev/input/mice /dev/mouse"

(e) run

Power on the board and execute via minicom:

#test &

You can see the running results on the LCD.
