Split GUI_Exec1()

a7v3a6 · November 17, 2015 at 4:04 PM

Hello,

we use EMBOS and EMWIN in our project on a STM32F4. The GUI has its own task
where we periodically call GUI_Exec1() and OS_Delay() until all jobs are done.
Unfortunately GUI_Exec1() takes too much time (slices of about 50ms, and we
have a really savage watchdog who kicks in). Is it
somehow possible to split GUI_Exec1()?

Hi,

We don't think that splitting GUI_Exec1() will solve that problem. Some actions like drawing of large images could use more than 50ms anyhow (depending on the used hardware), also after splitting the function. Unfortunately emWin currently does not have a function which allows triggering a watchdog during longer operations. We may add a function in a later version.
