Microcontroller-based embedded designs begin with hardware, then move from low- to higher-level firmware development. We will explore this design process in the context of a simple program that uses a SiLabs EFM8 microcontroller to display a scrolling horizontal line on a 128-by-128-pixel LCD. The objective is to display a scrolling horizontal line on a 128-by-128-pixel LCD module. This rather unexciting functionality serves as a convenient way to explore fundamental aspects of implementing projects with the EFM8 via Simplicity Studio. Configuring a microcontroller’s hardware can be a rather intricate process, and this article cannot cover all the concepts and techniques involved. Nonetheless, we will try to highlight some key implementation details, and then future articles will focus more on higher-level functionality.
