Edge Device Database for Crank Software Storyboard Suite

Platform Description

Wide adoption of intelligent devices and continuing advancement in technology has created a shift in how we expect to interact with embedded applications. Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) have become more prevalent, providing intuitive interaction and visual appeal. Depending on the available resources and performance requirements, GUIs range from simple 2D designs, to those with rich animations and dynamic 3D content. To effectively build innovative GUIs for embedded, designers and developers need a tool that is easy to use across the team throughout the entire development cycle, and is scalable across a wide variety of operating systems and hardware.

Crank Software’s Storyboard Suite is a complete graphical user interface development tool that is designed for both designers and developers. Unlike traditional methodologies, graphic designers can use Storyboard to create the look and feel of the GUI without having to hand off artwork to developers to recreate the design in code. The entire team can work collaboratively to create high-performance and visually beautiful GUIs for embedded applications, and iterate the design quickly and with ease when changes are required.

ITTIA DB SQL is a relational database management software product for embedded systems and intelligent mobile devices. Whether data is captured on local flash media or synchronized from a remote server, ITTIA DB SQL supplies Storyboard applications with a rich source of dynamic content. Applications use Storyboard IO or LuaSQL to produce accurate graphs, tables, and lists from data sets of any size, leveraging industry-standard SQL query technology.

Development Environments and Target Processors

Storyboard Suite consists of two products, Storyboard Designer and Storyboard Embedded Engine. Storyboard Designer is an Eclipse-based design and development tool and Storyboard Embedded Engine is the runtime component that drives the content developed in Storyboard Designer on an embedded target.

Storyboard Suite supports a wide range of popular operating systems and hardware and can be used to deliver GUIs across multiple markets, from consumer, medical, automotive, industrial, and more.

ITTIA DB SQL and Storyboard Suite support a wide variety of processor cores, including ARM Cortex-A9. ITTIA DB SQL and Storyboard Suite have been tested on hardware from NXP, Renesas, and STMicroelectronics, and both companies work with customers to support their exact development and hardware requirements.
