2023 Embedded GUI Contest
In May, RT-Thread joined forces with Renesas and LVGL to introduce an exciting new development mode called the HMI Board. This revolutionary approach replaces the traditional HMI + main control board hardware with a single integrated solution. By leveraging the power of the HMI Board, engineers can now achieve the full capabilities of HMI, IoT, and control functionalities seamlessly.
The HMI Board incorporates Renesas’ high-performance RA6M3 chip and benefits from RT-Thread and LVGL's robust software ecosystem. This combination not only provides exceptional hardware performance but also offers a wide range of software resources. With this powerful combination, developers can effortlessly create cutting-edge GUI smart hardware products.
But that’s not all. The HMI-Board comes equipped with a 2M Flash large-capacity main control chip RA6M3, featuring built-in modules like 2D acceleration, JPEG encoder/decoder, and LCD controller to help with graphic application development. Plus, with an onboard TFT display and audio interface, developers can flex their skills in the HMI field. And let’s not forget about IoT connectivity: the HMI-Board has an onboard Ethernet interface and high-speed WIFI module, keeping the development board connected to the cloud 24/7. The HMI-Board also supports various control methods, including the CAN interface, Arduino interface, and two PMOD interfaces. This allows developers to easily expand various peripherals and achieve more flexible control methods. With the HMI-Board development board, creating GUI smart hardware products has never been easier.
And now, we are thrilled to announce the Embedded GUI Contest, organized by RT-Thread, Renesas, and LVGL! We cordially invite engineers from around the world to participate and demonstrate their talent in developing innovative and intuitive Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for embedded systems.
