Introduction
This application note describes the Human Machine Interface (HMI) Weather Panel application. The Weather Panel application is an HMI application using the Synergy Software Package (SSP) with GUIX TM on Synergy S7G2 boards.
The application consists of a simple weather panel screen with a seven-day or three-day forecast. The panel includes several GUIX widgets for experiencing dynamic screen transition or animation when touching the buttons on the screen.
The application is fully integrated with Express Logic, Inc. ThreadX ® RTOS, GUIX and SSP modules through the e2 studio Integrated Solutions Development Environment (ISDE). You can use the application code as a reference code for event-driven HMI systems. The application includes code based on GUIX and the SSP for fast graphics rendering and display and is using the graphics accelerators available on the Synergy S7G2 devices.

Renesas Synergy S7G2 Getting Started with the Weather Panel Application
1. Connect the kit to power and setup for debugging
To connect the kit, follow these steps:
1. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for PE-HMI1, DK-S7G2, or SK-S7G2 for setting up the power connection and the J-link debugger connection from your PC to the JTAG connector on the target board.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For the DK-S7G2 board, set DIPSW S5 “DRAM” switch to on and “EXP” to off.
2. Import the project into e
2
studio
Refer to the "Synergy Project Import Guide" (r11an0023eu0100_synergy_ssp.pdf) for instructions on importing the project into e 2 studio and building the project.
NOTE: If prompted by the ISDE to switch to the Debug Perspective, click Yes.
3. Application features
This section describes the most important features of the Weather Panel application.
3.1 Splash screen
You will see the splash screen just after you started the program. This screen is drawn by Express Logic, Inc. GUIX using the SSP JPEG decoder driver and the SSP GLCDC driver. After several seconds, the screen changes to the weather panel screen.

3.2 Weather panel screen
The weather panel screen appears a few seconds after the splash screen display. The panel includes a thermostat temperature control panel and buttons for retrieving seven (or three) days of weather forecast data. When you press any of the forecast buttons, the screen background transitions to a new panel showing the background corresponding to the forecast.
NOTE: Forecast data are simulated, static data.
The PE-HMI1 and DK-S7G2 support seven-day forecast, and the SK-S7G2 supports three-day forecast. The background screen is rendered by the JPEG engine and the other widgets are rendered by DRW (2DG).

A-1
General Precautions in the Handling of Microprocessing Unit and Microcontroller Unit Products
The following usage notes are applicable to all Microprocessing unit and Microcontroller unit products from Renesas.
For detailed usage notes on the products covered by this document, refer to the relevant sections of the document as well as any technical updates that have been issued for the products.
1. Handling of Unused Pins
Handle unused pins in accordance with the directions given under Handling of Unused Pins in the manual.
The input pins of CMOS products are generally in the high-impedance state. In operation with an unused pin in the open-circuit state, extra electromagnetic noise is induced in the vicinity of
LSI, an associated shoot-through current flows internally, and malfunctions occur due to the false recognition of the pin state as an input signal become possible. Unused pins should be handled as described under Handling of Unused Pins in the manual.
2. Processing at Power-on
The state of the product is undefined at the moment when power is supplied.
The states of internal circuits in the LSI are indeterminate and the states of register settings and pins are undefined at the moment when power is supplied.
In a finished product where the reset signal is applied to the external reset pin, the states of pins are not guaranteed from the moment when power is supplied until the reset process is completed.
In a similar way, the states of pins in a product that is reset by an on-chip power-on reset function are not guaranteed from the moment when power is supplied until the power reaches the level at which resetting has been specified.
3. Prohibition of Access to Reserved Addresses
Access to reserved addresses is prohibited.
The reserved addresses are provided for the possible future expansion of functions. Do not access these addresses; the correct operation of LSI is not guaranteed if they are accessed.
4. Clock Signals
After applying a reset, only release the reset line after the operating clock signal has become stable. When switching the clock signal during program execution, wait until the target clock signal has stabilized.
When the clock signal is generated with an external resonator (or from an external oscillator) during a reset, ensure that the reset line is only released after full stabilization of the clock signal. Moreover, when switching to a clock signal produced with an external resonator (or by an external oscillator) while program execution is in progress, wait until the target clock signal is stable.
5. Differences between Products
Before changing from one product to another, i.e. to a product with a different part number, confirm that the change will not lead to problems.
The characteristics of Microprocessing unit or Microcontroller unit products in the same group but having a different part number may differ in terms of the internal memory capacity, layout pattern, and other factors, which can affect the ranges of electrical characteristics, such as characteristic values, operating margins, immunity to noise, and amount of radiated noise.
When changing to a product with a different part number, implement a system-evaluation test for the given product.
