MiniGUI –Based Embedded Linux
Information Terminal Software Development
ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of information technology, the embedded system is more and more frequently used in information terminal. Because the embedded system has some limitations on hardware, its GUI platform should be short and pithy, reliable and steady, convenient to transplant and able to reduce, thus it needs a lightweight common graphical user interface to be provided for the terminal user. The need accelerates the popularization and development of the terminal appliance. MiniGUI have these advantages, such as take up fewer resources, high performance, high reliability, etc. So can MiniGUI meet the needs of the development platform. Meanwhile, with the increase in household appliances, we need to make an intelligent terminal for the unified control. This paper introduces with detail an information terminal software-brainpower household system which is developed on the base embedded Linux and MiniGUI.
This paper introduces the development process of the system, the development environment’s construction of cross translation, the transplant of MiniGUI storeroom and resource, the fire of Flash, the design and realization of terminal graphical user interface.
In practice, the paper adopts JXARM9-2410 embedded development board as software platform, and it also takes MiniGUI which belongs to Linux operating system as software development platform of graphical user interface, which, aims at realizing the functions of display the main interface, switch control and timing control of the brainpower household system.In the end, the paper summarizes the development of the brainpower household terminal and discusses problems which need to be solved in implementations.
Key words： embedded Linux, development board, MiniGUI, brainpower household, information terminal
