SAMA5 ADC touchscreen controller and provides a more advance
graphics demo. It provides an interactive windowing experience.
This configuration is set up generally like the nsh configuration
except that:
NOTES:
- It boots into a graphic, window manage environment instead of
the serial console command line.
- The console command line is still available within NxConsole
windows.
- Obviously, the nx and touchscreen built in applications cannot
be supported.
1. The NxWM window manager is a tiny window manager tailored for use
with smaller LCDs but which is show here on the larger, SAMA5D4-EK
TM7000 LCD. It supports a toolchain, a start window, and
multiple application windows. However, to make the best use of
the visible LCD space, only one application window is visible at
at time.

2. This configuration is set up generally like the nsh configuration
except that:
Here is the quick summary of the build steps. These steps assume that
you have the entire NuttX GIT in some directory ~/nuttx-git. You may
have these components installed elsewhere. In that case, you will need
to adjust all of the paths in the following accordingly:
- It boots into a graphic, window manage environment instead of
the serial console command line.
- The console command line is still available within NxConsole
windows.
- Obviously, the nx and touchscreen built in applications cannot
be supported.
1. Install the nxwm configuration
3. NSH Console Access.
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/nuttx/tools
$ ./configure.sh sama5d4-ek/nxwm
This configuration boots directly into a graphic, window manage
environment. There is no serial console. Some initial stdout
information will go to the USART3 serial output, but otherwise
the serial port will be silent.
2. Make the build context (only)
Access to the NSH console is available in two ways:
$ cd ..
$ . ./setenv.sh
$ make context
...
a. The NxWM provides a graphics-based terminals (called NxConsoles);
The console command line is still available within NxConsole
windows once NxWM is up and running. The console input is still
via stdin (the host terminal window), but console output will go
to the NxConsole terminal.
NOTE: the use of the setenv.sh file is optional. All that it will
do is to adjust your PATH variable so that the build system can find
your tools. If you use it, you will most likely need to modify the
script so that it has the correct path to your tool binaries
directory.
NOTES:
3. Install the nxwm unit test
i) Later I plan to integrate a USB keyboard so that the
console input will come from a keyboard attached to the
SAMA5D4-EK.
ii) It would also not be a difficult task to add a serial console
as part of the NxWM console. That is an option if a serial
console is really necessary but is not currently planned.
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets
$ tools/install.sh ~/nuttx-git/apps nxwm
Creating symbolic link
- To ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets/UnitTests/nxwm
- At ~/nuttx-git/apps/external
b. Telnet NSH sessions are still supported and this is, in general,
the convenient way to access the shell (and RAMLOG).
4. Build the NxWidgets library
As with the NSH configuration, debug output will still go to the
circular RAMLOG buffer but cannot be accessed from a serial console.
Instead, you will need use the dmesg command from an NxConsole or
from a Telnet session to see the debug output
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets/libnxwidgets
$ make TOPDIR=~/nuttx-git/nuttx
...

that you have the entire NuttX GIT in some directory ~/nuttx-git.
You may have these components installed elsewhere. In that case, you
will need to adjust all of the paths in the following accordingly:
5. Build the NxWM library
a. Install the nxwm configuration
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets/nxwm
$ make TOPDIR=~/nuttx-git/nuttx
...
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/nuttx/tools
$ ./configure.sh sama5d4-ek/nxwm
6. Built NuttX with the installed unit test as the application
b. Make the build context (only)
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/nuttx
$ make
$ cd ..
$ . ./setenv.sh
$ make context
...
NOTE: The NxWM example was designed tiny displays. On this larger
800x480 display, the icons are too tiny to be usable. I have created
a larger 320x320 logo for the opening screen and added image scaling
to expand the images in the taskbar. The expanded images are not great.
The same problems exist in the application toolbar and in the start
window. These icons are not yet scaled.
NOTE: the use of the setenv.sh file is optional. All that it
will do is to adjust your PATH variable so that the build system
can find your tools. If you use it, you will most likely need to
modify the script so that it has the correct path to your tool
binary directory.
c. Install the nxwm unit test
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets
$ tools/install.sh ~/nuttx-git/apps nxwm
Creating symbolic link
- To ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets/UnitTests/nxwm
- At ~/nuttx-git/apps/external
d. Build the NxWidgets library
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets/libnxwidgets
$ make TOPDIR=~/nuttx-git/nuttx
...
e. Build the NxWM library
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/NxWidgets/nxwm
$ make TOPDIR=~/nuttx-git/nuttx
...
f. Built NuttX with the installed unit test as the application
$ cd ~/nuttx-git/nuttx
$ make

I plan to correct these images in the very near future.
