Part Number: MCF8316AEVM

Hi Team,

The customer ask me some question about the gui,can you kindly help me answer this question?

1.GUI composer runtime V10.0.0 is the operating environment of GUI, right? we can only download platform(windox),and during down install it, it will auto install the operating environment right？

2.What language is the GUI based on？Is there any software/operating environment involved in running the GUI?The customer company needs to review external software, so we need to provide this information.

3.Do we have a document describing the relationship between the GUI and the required software/environment? Is there a copyright issue?

Thanks

    Hi Jenson,

    You can find more in-depth information regarding my answers below and more in the GUI Composer User's Guide here: https://dev.ti.com/gc/v2/help/GC_UserGuide_v2/index.html

    1. The GUI Composer Runtime contains the necessary backend engines & libraries to run the HTML/JavaScript GUI web apps as a standalone offline desktop application (instead of in the web browser). These include components such as Node Webkit, TI Cloud Agent (bridge between PC's USB/serial ports and HTML/JavaScript frontend) and Debug Probes driver software.
    2. The GUIs are essentially web apps written in HTML and JavaScript. We use the GC designer tool to facilitate with creating the frontend GUI app. You can actually import any of the GUIs published on the Gallery into the designer to view/edit the source code. These are simply online web apps that can also be downloaded and run as offline apps. Note that when these GUIs are launched online in a browser, Chrome or Firefox, there are still a couple of 1-time installations required:
      1. TI Cloud Agent browser extension
      2. TI Cloud Agent installer (background process that bridges communication between PC's USB/serial ports and the web browser extension)
    3. Please refer to the GUI Composer User's Guide here: https://dev.ti.com/gc/v2/help/GC_UserGuide_v2/index.html,
      1. The software manifest of GUI Composer is available here: https://dev.ti.com/gc/v2/docs/GUI_Composer_manifest.html
