Best Embedded GUI Design Apps for Android

µGUI is a free and open-source graphic library for embedded systems. It is platform-independent and can be easily ported to almost any microcontroller system. As long as the display is capable of showing graphics, µGUI is not restricted to a certain display technology. Therefore, display technologies such as LCD, TFT, E-Paper, LED or OLED are supported. μGUI is platform-independent, so there is no need to use a certain embedded system. In order to use μGUI, only two requirements are necessary.

Less than 5MB of footprint, ensuring high performance even when running in low-end devices. Basic knowledge of Java or Kotlin lets you build performing Apps for Android, Linux Arm, Windows, and iOS. Code once and run on every platform. Responsive User Interfaces provide the same behavior and usability. Tecdet develops systems for traffic control and inspection for the Brazilian government. They decided to rebuild their system for the Linux Arm architecture compatible with Toradex modules and chose TotalCross to develop their GUI.

An embedded GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a software interface that is designed for use on an embedded system, such as a microcontroller or a single-board computer. Embedded GUIs provide a graphical interface for interacting with the system and enable users to control and monitor the system through visual elements such as icons, buttons, sliders, and text fields. MicroEJ embedded GUI solution provides your customers with a beautiful look and feel and high performance, on markets such as wearables, home appliances, smart homes, medical, smart printers, and more generally speaking any kind of small electronic products. Take advantage of impeccable, ultra-fast execution embedded GUIs that will guarantee your customers a great user experience. Adding to the benefits of stunning graphics, rich animations, and interactions, MicroEJ’s portability across different electronics allows you to leverage your design investment by re-using the same graphical widgets for all your products.

µGFX is a lightweight embedded library for displays and touchscreens providing everything required to build a fully featured embedded GUI. The library is very small and fast because every unused feature is disabled and not linked into the finished binary. The µGFX library has been designed to be the smallest, fastest and most advanced embedded library for display and touchscreen solutions. The µGFX library works on any processor architecture. No matter whether it's a small 16-bit microcontroller or a huge 64-bit multi-core ARM CPU. The µGFX library runs on any system. It can be used with or without an underlying operating system. An easy-to-use, yet highly flexible abstraction layer allows to run the µGFX library on virtually any platform. The abstraction layer has been designed to have as little performance impact as possible.
