What is Embedded Wizard?

Embedded Wizard (EmWi) is a comfortable and flexible GUI development tool for embedded systems.

 

Embedded Wizard GUI Development Tool

It facilitates the creation of rich 2D/3D-like cross-platform GUI applications, independent of operating system, graphics API and compiler. EmWi includes a developer-friendly drag-and-drop composer, UI code editor and debugger, platform-independent class & widget library and prototyper for instant testing on PC.

 

 

Optimized 'platform packages' are available for over 40 different embedded chipsets and various OS, like Embedded Linux, Windows CE, Android and iOS. Developers can run their UIs on various platforms, without rewriting the code.

 

 

Embedded Wizard enables the design of visually rich user interfaces: menus, instruments, dash boards, virtual keyboards, visualization screens, control interfaces for multi media, home appliances, industrial and medical devices. EmWi enables dynamic 2D/3D effects and animations, and supports touch screen and mouse control incl. gestures, keyboard, remote control, and more.

How Embedded Wizard facilitates your GUI development

User-friendly Visual Development
Embedded Wizard strongly supports the idea of visual programming: drag-and-drop functionality is used to create and arrange graphical elements and to connect them with menu logic and written code. The user-friendly IDE provides access to every aspect of the project within one well-arranged window. [Read more]

Easy Porting and Re-use
Embedded Wizard projects are developed platform independent and thus can easily be re-used on all supported hardware platforms without changes to the project. Furthermore, the tool supports object oriented programming, which is widely approved for delivering well-structured projects, that are easier to maintain, extend and adapt to new requirements.

Optimized for Limited Resources
Right from the beginning, Embedded Wizard was designed for embedded platforms with limited performance and memory. Unlike most approaches known from development of PC-based user interfaces, Embedded Wizard creates a very lean, fast and efficient code, which gets the maximum out of a limited platform.


Dedicated to Unlimited Possibilities
Although Embedded Wizard was intentionally designed for limited embedded platforms, it also supports powerful, enhanced features, which embedded platforms might offer, like 2D and 3D graphics accelerators, blitters or OpenGL ES, and thus enables state-of-the-art designs, effects and animation.
