Microchip University provides you with the opportunity to learn more about general embedded control topics as well as Microchip, Atmel and Microsemi products. One of the courses Microchip University is offering is ‘Linux Graphics using the Ensemble Graphics Toolkit’.
The Ensemble Graphics Toolkit (EGT) is a C++-based toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces (GUI) for Microchip microprocessors running the Linux operating system. In the course, you will learn about the structure of EGT and how you can use it to create simple graphical applications. Executing both on a host PC and an embedded target attendees will explore the rich widget and multimedia capabilities of EGT to create their own compelling user interfaces. During development the Eclipse IDE will be used to speed the process and allow debug of a remote target. A powerful feature of EGT is the ability to import and use scalable vector graphics as the framework for a GUI and the Inkscape tool will be used to create a GUI for use with EGT.
In a webinar on Thursday, June 22, 2023 (at 16:00 CEST), Clemens Valens (Elektor) and Darren Wenn (Microchip) will guide you through the course. They cover the most important aspects and give background information. They also show several videos from the course and go into more detail of the content of these videos. Of course, they will also answer all your questions in the Q&A session at the end of the webinar. Save your seat today!
