Yocto Linux OS

The Future of Display Computing

Demanding applications, freely configurable

Our Linux iLCDs have a freely modifiable embedded Linux operating system, based on the Yocto Project, which has established itself in recent years as the preferred system for embedded systems configuration. The Yocto Project allows the user to build the entire representation as a Linux distribution themselves using the various methods and tools included. This means that the application can be adapted extremely specifically to different needs.

Compared to pre-built applications, this creates more scope for maneuver, although this is accompanied by a certain level of complexity. However, experience shows that users work extremely efficiently after familiarizing themselves with Yocto. A big plus point is the structured and consistent approach, making it easier to implement applications and projects that build on one another and to use them in a wide range of applications. The range of functions extends across a wide spectrum of 2D and 3D applications, video displays and much more. Thanks to the hardware independence In addition, the control functions can be optimally transferred and adapted to the respective device.

Advantages of embedded Linux

Embedded Linux allows developers to focus on their own application
Many stacks, tools and protocols already exist
Large community for fast support
Hardly any restrictions, which means that a wide variety of programming and scripting languages can be used
Projects can be implemented quickly and adaptations can be implemented efficiently

Implementation by demmel products

We take care of all low-level development. The device tree with the necessary drivers for display, touch and all interfaces is implemented.

In addition, each Linux model includes a pre-programmed "Settings Interface", where brightness, auto-dim, WiFi and Bluetooth as well as other settings can be adjusted directly on the iLCD.

This interface is intended to serve as a “sample project” and can be customized if certain settings are not required or design adjustments are desired. In addition, each iLCD Linux a web browser including a virtual keyboard is installed.

How to get started?

In addition to the implementations described above, we offer useful information and tips in our Documentation Hub, which is constantly being expanded. You can also find the latest images of the respective Linux models there.

For the standard configuration, we adhere to the recommendations of the processor manufacturers. If the necessary stacks and tools are not yet available, we naturally offer support and can implement them according to your requirements.

Software development, testing, GUI & AI

Where our service ends, the competence of Danube Dynamics, our partner for Software Development, Optimization and Artificial Intelligence (AI). As a specialist for embedded Linux solutions – especially with the i.MX series from NXP – Danube Dynamics offers tailor-made software solutions for industrial applications.

For graphical user interfaces (GUI) we put on Embedded Wizard from TARA Systems, an award-winning technology for developing platform-independent and high-performance GUIs, even on resource-constrained microcontrollers. Millions of devices worldwide already rely on it.

Together with our partners, we accompany you throughout the entire development cycle and, with many years of expertise, offer specialized products and services that efficiently lead your project to success.
