New Plug-and-Play Display Controller Board for Embedded Graphical User Interface Design from Amulet Technologies

The GEMboard™ II includes everything for driving many popular 5.7" to 10.4" displays.

Campbell, Calif. – April 13, 2011 – Amulet Technologies, a recognized leader in high-performance embedded graphical user interface solutions, announced today the availability of their latest product innovation, the GEMboard™ II (CBC-2). This new plug-and-play production display controller board includes everything for driving many popular 5.7" to 10.4" displays up to 640x480 (VGA) color LCDs, including support for backlight and touch panels. Effective immediately, the GEMboard II will be available through select distributors worldwide.

The Amulet GEMboard II integrates easily with many 5.7" displays and comes standard with a 33-pin connector and flat panel cable. A 31-pin connector is optional for supporting a variety of other displays.

GEMboard II customers, like all Amulet customers, can experience the unique benefits of designing their GUI with GEMstudio™, the easiest, fastest and most flexible graphical user interface (GUI) design tool in the embedded space. GEMstudio integrates tools for visual layout, interactive PC based simulation, and programming of the flash memory in the target embedded hardware. It's a true WYSIWYG GUI design tool that requires no coding for the GUI design. Using the GEMstudio drag-and-drop GUI development environment for creating color touchscreen human-machine-interfaces (HMIs) for embedded systems allows designers to create smartphone-like user interfaces in days or weeks, instead of months, or years.
