Embedded HMI and graphical interface development

Embedded interfaces must communicate system state clearly while respecting hardware limits. Silicon LogiX designs and implements HMIs that connect visual design, firmware events and operational UX.

How we can help

UX and screen architecture

Screens, components, navigation, states and reusable patterns based on real tasks and operating conditions.

Firmware integration

Data model, events, feedback and command flows between the UI and device logic.

Performance on target

Refresh rate, memory use, rendering strategy, boot behaviour and responsiveness measured on representative hardware.

How we work

  1. Context and goals

    Review goals, constraints, existing code or hardware documentation.

  2. Architecture and plan

    Define risks, architecture choices and a practical execution plan.

  3. Development and verification

    Work iteratively on real targets, with measurable checkpoints.

  4. Delivery and support

    Deliver code, documentation and technical decisions that the team can maintain.

HMI work across MCU and Linux targets

The right UI stack depends on hardware, display size, update rate, interaction model and maintenance needs. The interface is designed alongside firmware behaviour, not added as a visual layer at the end.

  • LVGL interfaces for MCU-based products and constrained targets.
  • Qt/QML or native interfaces for embedded Linux systems.
  • Display, touch, input and firmware event integration.
  • Performance tuning, UX flows, alarms and diagnostic screens.
Decisions that prevent expensive HMI rework

Before screens are multiplied, it is useful to validate the information hierarchy, hardware budget and the path from device state to user feedback on the real target.

  • Screen flows for normal operation, alarms, setup, recovery and technical service.
  • Memory, display bandwidth, rendering performance and input latency on representative hardware.
  • A clear data and event contract between firmware, the interface and any local or remote service.
  • Reusable components and asset rules that make future product variants easier to maintain.

Frequently asked questions

Can you work from an existing UI design?

Yes. The design can be adapted to embedded constraints and implemented with the selected stack.

Do you support both MCU and Linux HMIs?

Yes. LVGL is often used on MCUs; Qt/QML or web-based UI can be better on Linux targets.

Can the HMI expose diagnostics?

Yes. Diagnostic screens, logs, status pages and service flows can be part of the interface.

When should performance be tested?

Early, on representative hardware. Display resolution, animation, assets, input latency and memory use can change the right architecture choice.
