Developing an integrated HMI with independent processes using OpenKode

Creating a modern HMI involves integrating a number of different pieces of software – each typically running in a separate process with dedicated screen real estate. Developing a seamless HMI becomes an obvious challenge.

Join us as we explore how the composition manager (an OpenKode conformant API) in QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.4.1 can help you build a polished HMI from the software building blocks you have, that looks like a single tightly integrated application.

Estimated length: 1 hour, including Q & A.

Who should attend: This seminar is best suited for engineers, embedded software developers and user interface designers in the embedded industry.

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this session.
