Overview
Guiliani is a C++ software framework enabling the creation of visually appealing, hardware and OS platform independent GUIs for embedded systems.
Guiliani adopts the philosophy of write once, compile for & run on many different target hardware. Once a Guiliani application has been developed, it can run natively on supported target platforms. When using Guiliani, the usual development workflow is to design the application on a PC and target a set of embedded operating systems for production release.
Minimum HW requirements
| Criteria | Requirements |
|---|---|
| MCU | 100Mhz |
| ROM | ~700kb for Guiliani without resources |
| RAM | ~50kb for Guiliani without resources |
| Compiler | C++ Compiler with exception Support |
| Operating System | “bare-metal”, many OSs supported |
Architecture overview
Guiliani is split into two layers, the Guiliani runtime-engine and a platform abstraction layer.
