Creating dynamic HMIs with Adobe Flash
A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) can make or break an industrial system, and the proliferation of dynamic, graphical HMIs in cell phones and other mobile devices has raised the bar for user interface designs. Everyone now expects HMIs to be slick, intuitive, and even customizable. Fortunately for embedded developers, the same technology behind these graphical interfaces – Adobe Flash – translates well to industrial control systems. ...

White Paper: The Advantages of Small Form Factor HMI
As embedded computers have become ubiquitous, so too the need for human machine interfaces has grown. Once found in only complex control systems, like distributed control systems in refineries and other process plants, HMI systems are now found in many guises and many locations, from games to industrial machines and tooling systems, with many stops in between.

Designing a safety-certifiable OpenGL software GPU
Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) are important components in embedded systems. When GPUs are used for safety-critical embedded systems where design verification and certification are required, implementers must pay special attention to the design and implementation of the GPU to avoid costly development pitfalls and excessive costs. To address GPU demands in safety-critical systems, an efficient, portable, high-quality OpenGL software GPU ena...

UGM: Small, scalable graphics modules meet universal embedded needs
Today's embedded systems designers must control and feed more high-end displays with massive amounts of information without sacrificing 3D graphics performance. Enabling this level of capability within an embedded design poses a number of challenges, given that standard graphics add-on cards often conflict with critical requirements such as compact size, reliability, and longevity.
