Problems when using the RTC and the TFT display at the same time

[HeDi_4635501]

Hello,

I use the CY8CKIT-062-WiFi-BT Board with modus toolbox. I want to show the time on the TFT-28 display.

For this I use the rtc. Only the rtc and display via the UART interface e.g. with Tera Term is fine.

Only a text output on the TFT display is also in order.

When I initialize the rtc and set GUI_Init() doesn't work anymore. The display does not appear to be initialized. No return value of the GUI_Init() function. I think the rtc and the emWin software are blocking each other. I don't use freeRTOS only 2 functions (main and ftf display).

What can you do to display the rtc information on a TFT display?

Thanks

Hi @HeDi_4635501 ,

I will try checking this at my end. Meanwhile, you can also check one of our code example available with PSoC Creator though : https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-CE216825_PSoC_6_Real-Time_Clock_Basics_(PSoC_Creator)-Code%20... . This code example demonstrates how to get and set the time in a real-time clock (RTC), using the RTC driver API in the Peripheral Driver Library (PDL). This code example will help you get an idea of the flow of code quickly.

Best Regards,

Aashita

Hi,

Note: the rtc works with modus toolbox and a serial terminal. see example:

But showing the time on the TFT display shield is not possible.
