Guiliani + D/AVE 2D: “Smart HMI” solution for cost driven embedded systems

Driven by smart phones customers expect “Smart HMIs” on all kind of devices: Modern graphical control elements (widgets) combined with smooth animations on high-resolution touch-screen displays replace single-color segment displays and hard-keys. A reliable touch screen performance combined with an intuitive GUI design is a must. All of this needs to be met at the established price points of the target devices. Also short development cycles and high reuse factors are key criteria.

With the combination of the Guiliani HMI Framework and the D/AVE 2D graphics rendering core, TES offers a low-footprint and thus cost efficient solution for “Smart HMIs” on embedded devices.

Guiliani + D/AVE 2D on ALTERA Cyclone III, IV and V

Demo and evaluation systems for the Guiliani + D/AVE 2D “Smart HMI” solution are available for ALTERA Cyclone III, IV and V on Terasic evaluation and development boards:

• Download Guiliani+D/AVE 2D Demo for Terasic NEEK Board
• Download Guiliani+D/AVE 2D Demo for Terasic VEEK-MT Board V1.0
• Download Guiliani+D/AVE 2D Demo for Terasic VEEK-MT-C5-SOC Board

The demo package includes a Guiliani example application demonstrating a selection of Guiliani Widgets. The package also includes the graphical user interface designer (GSE) and the corresponding example project files to easily modify and extend the example application on a PC, to run a simulation on a PC and download the result to the NEEK Board.
