Embedded devices are quickly adopting graphical displays and user information displays enriching the user experience and easing the usage. Set-top boxes, PDAs, medical equipment, factory automation equipment, mobile phones - you name it. These embedded applications are getting sophisticated day by day as user base widens.
Embedded application developers face the challenge of developing these user interfaces, with constantly changing platforms
About Empresent: Okaya has parterned with HCL India, to promote the Empresent GUI software in North America. Empresent is a smart GUI toolkit with a powerful Visual Editor for faster and parallel development of GUI with rich set of widgets to build a powerful embedded multilingual Graphical User Interface (GUI), giving independence from platforms to embedded application developers.
Empresent is small, stable and has a scalable Windowing System specifically optimized and designed for embedded devices
Its Complementary Integrated Development Environment provides quick & faster prototyping and platform specific code generation which empowers RTOS vendors and embedded application developers with time-to-market advantage
Available on multiple processors like ARM, MIPS and SH etc. and embedded OS like Embedded Linux, WinCE, iTRON (NORTi, PrKernel), etc.
EmPresent event driven architecture delivers a small footprint for embedded Windowing System
Provision for 3rd party embedded Software (embedded Database, embedded Fonts, etc) integration to give a unified interface to the Application Developer
Component of EmPresent
EmPresent is for developers who want to use the graphical editing tools and interactive design environment to develop embedded application interfaces. There are 3 basic components of EmPresent.
Visual Editor:
The Visual Editor is provided to help the developers to develop the GUI Applications quickly on desktop and test thoroughly before deploying it to the target devices. The Visual Editor requires no programming background and it generates code for the target as well as simulated environment
EmPresent GUI Libraries: Platform independent Embedded GUI system providing the API interfaces for applications running in embedded domain.
Simulator: EmPresent is a RAD tool that assist the embedded devices application developers to rapidly prototype and develop the GUI code. This component of EmPresent facilitates him to concentrate more on the application and the optimizations rather than handling the nitty-gritty of the GUI development.
