Step 2: Add Graphics and Touchscreen Components in MPLAB® Harmony Configurator (MHC)
Add the Aria Graphics w/PDA TM4301B Display template into your project from the Available Components window.
Expand the tree Graphics > Templates and select Aria Graphics w/PDA TM4301B Display.
At this point, you will be asked to auto-activate some components required by the system. Select Yes for all.
Your Project Graph should have added multiple components. Arrange the boxes to resemble the following Project Graph:
Set the Display Interface to LCC.
Select the Aria Graphics w/PDA TM4301B Display component. This will display the current settings in the Configuration Options window. Set the Display Interface to LCC.
Revise the interface of the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Bit Bang component for the touchscreen interface.
Right-click on the yellow diamond in the I2C_BB component and select I2C (drv_i2c) from the list of consumers.
This will create a new instance for the I2C diver interface. See the simplified component diagram:
Disconnect the current I2C driver interface from the maXTouch® Controller by right-clicking on the DRV_I2C diamond and selecting Disconnect.
Reconnect the I2C diver interface by right-clicking on the DRV_I2C diamond in Instance 1 interface. Then select maXTouch Controller (gfx_maxtouch_controller) from the list of Consumers.
Your Project Graph should now resemble the following screen:
The graphic libraries require additional heap space. Click on the System component and expand the Configuration Options tree to display the Heap Size entry field. Set this to at least 32,768.
Click on Instance 1 of the I2C driver. In the Configuration Options, set Transfer Queue Size to 9.
