Variscite partners with TARA Systems to integrate GUIs into SoMs
Variscite has announced a collaboration with TARA Systems to integrate its award-winning framework for developing sophisticated graphical user interfaces (GUIs), Embedded Wizard, into Variscite System-on-Modules (SoMs) to streamline the customer development process, reduce costs, and optimize the use of hardware resources.
Embedded Wizard is a fast, intuitive framework to quickly create advanced GUIs. In combination with Variscite SoMs, it enables developers to create sophisticated, visually appealing, high-performance, responsive UIs tailored for the device’s capabilities and the full potential of the hardware. Embedded Wizard is currently integrated with Variscite’s DART-MX8M-PLUS and VAR-SOM-MX93, with additional modules to follow.
In industries such as IoT, medical, and industrial controls, it’s critical that UIs run smoothly, with minimal latency and optimal memory usage, but UI development is often hampered by hardware-software incompatibility and complexity. An integrated approach particularly benefits devices and applications that perform real-time data processing and/or rely on user interaction. Embedded Wizard optimizes device performance by minimizing memory footprint and maximizing the use of available memory on Variscite’s hardware, and can create UIs that run on bare metal for even lower system overhead. It is flexible enough to allow developers to deploy GUIs across different platforms without significant rework, which enables faster introduction of new product generations, contains costs, and improves longevity.
“Whether it’s industrial controls, consumer gadgets, or advanced medical devices, using Embedded Wizard with Variscite SoMs enables new possibilities in tailoring the GUI to the user’s needs and creating high-quality HMIs more easily than ever,” says Manuel Melic, Embedded Wizard’s Product Manager and Managing Director at TARA Systems. “This is an important partnership for industries where both performance and aesthetics are vital.”
“This partnership enables us to offer our customers a comprehensive, high-quality solution for GUI development, perfectly aligning with our mission to provide the infrastructure and support needed to shorten development cycles and accelerate time-to-market,” explains Markus Steidl, Managing Director Sales and Marketing at Variscite GmbH. “As modern HMI applications evolve to include advanced features like gesture control, the demand for efficient graphics with minimal memory and processing usage has intensified.”
Embedded Wizard offers additional features including:
- Modern, powerful and user-friendly WYSIWYG editor.
- Full suite of GUI elements such as widgets, effects, animations, and complex text shaping, along with advanced features like multi-variant GUIs, themes, and localization.
- Rapid prototyping, instant testing, and debugging to reduce development time and effort.
- Highly efficient source-code generation tailored to the specific target system to ensure applications perform smoothly even on limited hardware.
- Flexibility to meet varying functional, hardware, workflow, and project requirements.
- Comprehensive support services to assist from trainings up to complete GUI implementation/development.
The small-size DART-MX8M-PLUS based on the NXP i.MX 8 Plus from Variscite, is ideal for compact smart embedded systems. It accelerates AI/ML with an integrated Neural Processing Unit, and offers advanced multimedia and connectivity features such as an Image Signal Processor and camera interfaces. The VAR-SOM-MX93, based on the NXP i.MX93 application processor, is a high-quality, future-proof SoM that meets the market’s demand for energy-efficient smart edge devices. The VAR-SOM-MX93 offers a rich set of features at an attractive price and delivers energy flex architecture.
