Software

Software as a Starting Point


If you are one of the many developers who has already decided a preferred software for use in your embedded design, we have good news. Selecting an FDI product suitable for the end-application can be made on this decision point alone.

This table breaks down the different software tools supported by our μEZ GUI, ELI and ΣyG product families:

Additional resources including software demonstrations and detailed support resources and information is available at each product family’s respective software page.

µEZ GUI

Our μEZ GUI product line of standalone microcontroller based Touchscreen GUI / HMI production modules provides an off-the-shelf solution for new products and offers a quick and easy upgrade to existing products. The uEZ GUI modules are cost effective and provide a complete hardware and software solution with industry standard ARM Cortex M microcontrollers running the proven uEZ® / FreeRTOS Software Platform. Our uEZ GUI units have enough processing power to serve as the main controller in your application, but they can also function as a Slave only GUI to upgrade existing designs where the CPU needs to remain. Display sizes range from 3.5” to 7.0” with both resistive and capacitive touch options and all of our uEZ GUI products offer minimum 10 year channel life so your product can stay in production. In addition to our standard products, FDI offers full design services with the ability to customize standard products or design a system from scratch to solve your company’s product needs.

ELI

Our ELI product line or Easy LCD Interface, is a family of embedded touchscreen displays for use with your favorite Single Board Computer or SBC. These include popular options like the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, Linux, Android, i.MX or even Windows based units. Every ELI unit uses the same three standard connections: HDMI, USB and Power, so adding an embedded display is an easy plug-and-play addition to your SBC. If your display size or touchscreen requirements change, ELI units are interchangeable, since they all support EDID for automatic screen sizing over the HDMI interface. ELI is a cost-effective, off-the-shelf solution with no NRE or development costs, and full support from our team of US-based engineers or any of our franchised distributors. Display sizes range from 4.3” to 15.0” with both resistive and capacitive touch options and all of our ELI products offer minimum 10 year channel life so your product can stay in production. In addition to our standard products, FDI offers full design services with the ability to customize standard products or design a system from scratch to solve your company’s product needs.

ΣyG

Our ΣyG Family provides a complete and qualified platform for the rapid release of Renesas Synergy-based embedded touchscreen display products. The core of ΣyG (pronounced, “Sig”) is Renesas Synergy – a comprehensive and integrated software-based microcontroller platform.

ΣyG products are carefully designed by the same team of engineers who earned FDI’s recognition as a Renesas Independent Design House, Gold Alliance Partner, and Certified Training Center. This, in combination with our expertise in GUI and HMI hardware, touchscreen systems and cost effective, volume production, results in FDI’s ability to offer a high-quality family of Renesas Synergy-based products. ΣyG is the smart choice for customers interested in developing a project with Renesas Synergy or searching for a complete, fully-equipped, standalone embedded display solution. In addition to our standard products, FDI offers full design services with the ability to customize standard products or design a system from scratch to solve your company’s product needs.
