  1. Navigate to gfx_apps_sam_a7d65/apps/blank_quickstart at master · Microchip-MPLAB-Harmony/gfx_apps_sam_a7d65 · GitHub. In the src folder, the application file contains a blank Quickstart application.
  2. Identify the key files (app.c and app.h) for the Quickstart application.
  3. To set up the project graph, make the following changes:
  4. Once the project is generated, two files are created. Copy the contents of the source and header files from GitHub to the corresponding files in the project.
  5. Build and debug the project to verify the touch and display functionalities of the custom display.
