Serial library¶
The serial library allows to print the screen on a serial console as an image or a pixmap table to be used as a header file.
-
The image on serial console option prints a header file on the serial console.
-
The pixmap table on serial console option prints a header file on the serial console.
The header file needs to be included into an application at build-time and displayed at the next run-time.
To summarise,
| Method | Image print | Pixmap print |
|---|---|---|
| Screens | Fast | Fast |
| Save on | Serial console | Serial console |
| Save as | Image structure | Pixmap table |
| Generated at | Run-time | Run-time |
| Read from | Header file | Header file |
| Included at | Build-time | Build-time |
The header file on serial console library is available on the Evaluation and Commercial editions.
Configure¶
No configuration is required, as the output is the default serial console.
Use¶
Select one of the three options for the file library:
-
Print screen content to the serial console at run-time on an SD-card to be included in an application at build-time.
-
Print screen content as portable pixmap as header files at run-time on an SD-card to be included in an application at build-time; and
