TFT LCD Display Example¶

The TFT LCD Display Example shows how to use the GFX library API functions to draw graphic objects on the LCD.

Tip

Before you start building, remember to set up the nRF5 SDK development environment first. See Setup the nRF5 SDK for details.

Building the example¶

You can find the source code and the project file of the example in the following folder: examples/nrf5-sdk/gfx.

Open terminal and navigate to the directory with the example Makefile:

cd ./examples/nrf5-sdk/gfx/armgcc

Run make to build the example:

make

Programming the firmware¶

If compiled successfully, the firmware is located in gfx/armgcc/_build with the name nrf52840_xxaa.hex.

Connect the debugger USB port to your PC using the provided USB-C Cable. A disk drive called M2-DOCK will be automatically detected by the computer.

Run the following command in gfx/armgcc to program the board:

make flash_all

Tip

See Programming section for details about how to program the nRF52840 M.2 Module.
