SAM9X75 Curiosity Hybrid Kit User's Guide for Microchip Graphics Suite (MGS) Harmony
Introduction
The SAM9X75 microprocessor (MPU) is a high-performance, cost-optimized embedded MPU based on the Arm926EJ-S™ Central Processing Unit (CPU) core, operating at speeds up to 800 megahertz (MHz). It supports MIPI® DSI® (MIPI Display Serial Interface (DSI)), Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS), and Red-Green-Blue (RGB) display interfaces, and features 2D graphics acceleration. The device also includes Gigabit Ethernet with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and Controller Area Network with Flexible Data-rate (CAN-FD). The SAM9X75 is well-suited for industrial and medical applications with or without graphical displays up to 1024 x 768 pixels, as well as for home automation and security system gateways, including access control systems with biometric authentication.
SAM9X75 Curiosity Hybrid Evaluation Board
The SAM9X75 Curiosity Hybrid kit is designed for evaluating and prototyping with our SAM9X75D2G Hybrid MCU System-in-Package (SiP). Based on the SAM9X75D2G-I/4TB-SL3, it provides a feature-rich platform with memory, display, USB, CAN, debug and expansion evaluation.
Application Examples
The SAM9X75 MPU can run complex graphical user interfaces with a wide array of displays and display interfaces. Below are application examples that were developed for the SAM9X75. The embedded simulator outputs are fully interactive and run the same Graphical User Interface (GUI) application as the target hardware.
SAM9X75 Curiosity Hybrid MGS Harmony application examples are available on GitHub®. See the VS Code® projects page.
Getting Started Applications
MGS Harmony Quickstart
Quickstart applications provide a good starting point for GUI development with MGS Harmony Graphics.
To get started, build and program the appropriate Quickstart project based on the display module being used and the preferred color mode.
| Display Module | Application Example |
|---|---|
| 5" WVGA LCD Display w/ LVDS I/F and maXTouch® Technology (AC69T88A) | MGS Harmony Quickstart (VS Code project, binaries)
|
| Raspberry Pi® 800x480 7-inch MIPI DSI LCD | MGS Harmony Quickstart (VS Code project, binaries)
