Platform IO support


Recommended Posts

Hello World!

I am learning about embedded programing on my STM32F746 discovery kit, trying to make my display work. As an open source enthusiast, this library was an obvious choice. Another choice I made is using the "Platform IO" IDE - because it's based on my favourite, opensource, hackable text editor Atom.
After diving into your makefile system and their library manager for a little, I somehow gave up and started using your Demo folder as a skeleton and compiling with your Makefiles.
But in the long term, I believe that a library like this should be integrated into the (imho!) the best "hackable" and open source editor :)

The nice thing about PlatformIO is actually it's "heart": PlatformIO Core which is a CLI tool written in Python (front-end independent). I believe that this architecture makes it easier to integrate your Makefile based library into the platform. Right?

What do you think about integration to their system? Could you do it?
I am ready to provide feedback and test things, or anything I can do with my current knowledge.

Link to the "request" I filled to their site: https://community.platformio.org/t/request-ugfx-library/3620

Cheers,
Jure

All things are possible - and this "thing" would not be hard.

It is however not on our development agenda currently as it is not difficult for a user to get a running project with the makefile buuld system or with the single-file-make option. We are currently resources constrained and we are putting all our efforts into releasing uGFX V3.0
