FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nuvoton
Technology Unveils Fast LCD Development Simulation Tool NuTool-LCDView
Visual,
Intuitive Platform for LCD Design, Simulation, and Testing Accelerates
Development
Hsinchu, Taiwan – 14
December 2023 – Nuvoton Technology has announced the
launch of its new LCD simulation software, NuTool-LCDView.
NuTool-LCDView is a software tool that assists the development of
TN-LCDs with Arm-based microcontrollers (MCUs). It provides a clear
visual emulation of the planned LCD layout and hardware design during
development, enhancing the communication between developers and
engineers.
Nuvoton is a leading supplier of microcontrollers for TN-LCDs, which
provide a simple ultra-affordable, low-power display for the vast
variety of devices that do not require a more complex and costly
pixel-addressable display.
This new software shortens LCD development time and cycles because it
allows designers to work with the simulation and make rapid changes,
even when the physical display hardware is unavailable. Engineers can
then easily implement the final design in hardware form.
User-friendly,
Visually Intuitive Platform with Hardware Emulation
NuTool-LCDView provides a user-friendly and visually intuitive platform
for developers to design, interact with, and optimize TN-LCDs. The
‘what you see is what you get’ graphical interface – with icons,
buttons, and menus – lets developers navigate and manipulate complex
designs effortlessly. It shows a real-time LCD simulation on the PC
without needing a physical LCD screen. This makes it much easier to
interpret and communicate results to engineers and product managers.
NuTool-LCDView’s simple drag-and-drop functionality enhances
productivity by reducing the learning curve for developers.
This tool can directly generate LCD configuration code, ready for
transfer to microcontroller hardware. NuTool-LCDView allows developers
to simulate, debug, and complete LCD projects more easily and quickly.
Diverse
Support and Wide Microcontroller Compatibility
NuTool-LCDView supports a wide range of microcontroller architectures.
These include the ML54/ML56 microcontroller series with the NuMicro® 1T
8051 core and also the NuMicro M254/M256/M258/M2354 microcontroller
series, based on the Arm Cortex® M23 core.
Enhanced
IDE Integration
This software integrates different engineering modules, allowing for
comprehensive control and customization. NuTool-LCDView can be used as
a standalone tool, as an IAR plug-in, or within the popular Keil IDE
for Arm Cortex-based chips.
In standalone mode, it connects to the MCU via the Arm standard SWD
(Serial Wire Debug) interface, enabling real-time monitoring of changes
in MCU COM/SEG pin configurations. When utilized within the Keil IDE
during debugging, NuTool-LCDView tools enhance debugging efficiency for
system designers, reducing development timelines.
Productive
and Adaptable
NuTool-LCDView helps developers develop and validate products without
constant access to the development hardware and physical LCDs—this streamlines
product development and validation, allowing for more flexible
iterative testing and improvement.
