on i.MXRT1062 EVK board, timers and animated bitmaps do not run, although they work in windows.

Question

It works fine as an animated bitmap in the prototype, but only displays the first image on the i.MXRT1062 EVK board.  I then attempted to use a timer to increment the frame number, and that does nothing as well.

Answer 1

Hello,

can you try one of the provided examples which contain some timer driven animations (e.g. ScreenOrientation). Does this work?

Are you using a modified main loop within your application? Maybe the processing of signals and timers is not called.

Best regards,

Manfred.

I think I have found the problem.  The SysTick_Handler is setup for the Micrium-III OS, and not triggering In the EW.  Any suggestions?  (I loaded the Osilliscope example and had no animation or timer increments).

Got it!  I overrode the EW_GetTicks with a define pointing to the OSGetTime().  Worked like a charm.

Great! Yes, in case that you have changed the operating system, the timer tick has to be adpated. This tick (1 ms resolution) is used for all animations and timer driven actions.
