1. Introduction
DGUS (DWIN Graphical User System) is a brand-new GUI software platform based on
the proprietary DWIN K600+ kernel, which was developed by DWIN Technology. With
the DWIN system, GUI designs and developments for communicating with the user’s host
can be achieved by utilizing the DGUS_SDK, DWIN Toolbox, which specializes in easy
visual interface and easy-use operation. DGUS eliminates complicated programming
tasks and lessens product development time.

3.6 Start a New Project

DGUS_SDK is for generating configuration files. The files should be placed into
<DWIN_SET> folder in SD card then downloaded into DWIN DGUS LCM.
User may use any third-party Serial Connection Debugging Programs (e.g.: SSCOM32) to
debug the communication between DGUS LCMs and PCs.

3.7 Development Steps

Step 1: Planning of Variables
Basic principles of planning:
VP should be arranged in continuous addresses for convenience to write and read.
Overlap of VP and SP addresses should be avoided.

Step 2: Interface Design

Pictures, icons and fonts are generated by image processing software.
Color palette should be 65K color (16-bit) to ensure the accordance of design and final
effect.

Step 3: Configuration of User Interface

Config. file for the touch logic and variable display are generated by DGUS_SDK.

Step 4: Debugging & Modification

Testing and revising the interface by viewing effects on DGUS LCM. (Step 2 - 3)
Connect serial port of DGUS LCM and user’s MCU, debugging.

Step5: Confirm & Filing

Config. files, fonts, icon files, pictures and other files can be stored in SD cards for filing
and mass production.
There is only one way to upgrade the data into DGUS LCM and export the data that is by
SD card. So for intellectual property of products, lock the SD port after downloading the
data.
Please remember the password or DGUS LCM will be locked
permanently.

3.8 Firmware Upgrade

Method 1: via SD card.
Upgrade your DGUS firmware by SD card is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for V3.0 and
higher version. (Copy the DGUS_V*.BIN into DWIN_SET in root directory of SD card.)
Method 2: via serial port.
Refer to chapter 1.4 in DGUS Development Guide for more details.

3.9 Check Firmware Version:

A. Physically, connect DGUS LCM serial port and COM port on PC, and connect power
properly.
B. Open the SSCOM3.2 and make sure that "SendHEX" and "HexData" are ticked.
C. Then write command in data input column: "Frame_Header (2 Bytes) 03 81 00 01"
and press “SEND” button.
D. Your computer will receive a feedback message like "Frame_Header (2 Bytes) 03 81
00 XX". The number XX is the version number in BCD format. If it's 10, that means
V1.0, if 35, means V3.5.
