Overview
The Integrated Graphics and Touch (IGaT) Curiosity Evaluation Kit uses the SAME5x 32-bit microcontroller from Microchip Technology to implement a minimized chip-count graphics and 2D touch screen solution for cost-sensitive applications without performance compromises. This innovative system of hardware platform and software libraries will demonstrate how to easily craft human-machine interfaces for a variety of applications without the need for an external touch controller.
This design is ahead of all other Arm® Cortex®-M4 touch and graphics solutions on the market because it eliminates the need of a dedicated touch controller and the need for tuning the controller, reducing cost and complexity.
All firmware, including the graphics and touch library and demo applications, is publicly available through the integrated MPLAB® Harmony v3 Framework.
