In today’s competitive embedded landscape, the quality of the user interface can define the success of a product. Manufacturers need HMI platforms that enable fast development of responsive, visually appealing interfaces without sacrificing power efficiency, reliability, or scalability.
iWave’s TI LVGL Demo on the AM62Lx-based iG-G69M Size-S OSM addresses this challenge head-on. By combining TI’s low-power AM62Lx processor with the lightweight yet powerful LVGL graphics library, iWave enables developers to quickly prototype, evaluate, and deploy production-ready HMIs for industrial, smart energy, EV charging, and automation applications.
Why LVGL on TI AM62Lx?
LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library) is a widely adopted open-source graphics framework designed for embedded systems. It enables developers to create modern, touch-friendly user interfaces with minimal memory footprint, making it ideal for low-power SoCs like TI AM62Lx.
On the iG-G69M OSM, LVGL leverages the AM62Lx Display Subsystem (DSS) and built-in graphics acceleration to deliver smooth animations, responsive widgets, and visually rich interfaces without overloading the CPU.
Key value for developers:
- Faster GUI development with ready-to-run demos
- Lower power consumption for always-on HMIs
- Scalable design from prototype to production
LVGL Demo Highlights
The TI LVGL Demo showcases real-world HMI scenarios commonly found in industrial and smart infrastructure deployments:
Featured Demo Applications
- EV Charging Interface
- Smart Home & Smart Meter Dashboard
- Thermostat Control
- Security Overview
The demo offers a smooth, interactive user experience with:
- Widget-based navigation
- Light and dark theme switching
- Real-time system metrics such as FPS and CPU usage
- Automatic UTC time synchronization when connected
These features help customers quickly visualize how their end products could look and behave in real deployments.
System Architecture Overview
The iG-G69M OSM drives an RGB display directly through the AM62Lx Display Subsystem (DSS). RGB signals are routed via the PRGJJ-04 carrier board to the display, ensuring clean signal integrity and reliable rendering of LVGL-based graphics.
The LVGL demo comes pre-integrated within the Yocto Linux filesystem for AM62Lx, allowing developers to:
- Evaluate graphics performance out of the box
- Rebuild and customize the demo using TI’s GitHub repositories
- Deploy updated binaries and assets quickly
This architecture minimizes bring-up time and simplifies GUI validation for production designs.
