Crank Storyboard Suite
From UI Design to Embedded Device—faster |
Choosing the right user interface (UI) development tool streamlines the design cycle, optimizes hardware performance, and leverages core skills of team members. Crank™ Storyboard™ Suite enables UI designers with no programming experience to drag-and-drop their UI designs and do this in parallel with, yet independently from, the engineers who are coding.
Crank Storyboard Suite
Storyboard is a suite of UI development optimization solutions for developers of consumer electronics, automotive head units, and industrial devices that require an embedded dynamic graphical display. Learn more.
Crank Storyboard Designer
Designer enables UI designers to leverage their core expertise to easily prototype the look and feel of a graphical display, run simulations of the interface to validate the designs, and then move the prototype directly to the embedded device for deployment. Read technical details.
Crank Storyboard Embedded Engine
The runtime component of the suite, Embedded Engine, drives the content developed in Designer on embedded devices. Read technical details.
Storyboard solves the challenges you face today
- OS-agnostic Embedded Engine supports any hardware the OS supports
- Embedded Engine does debugging, traceability, and performance metrics
- Embedded Engine is written in C and source code access is possible for profiling, optimization, testing, and validation
- Scalable through plugin architecture and can be customized for the requirements of your environment
- Memory requirements scale to your needs. Expect about 200-500K depending on the profile plus the sum of all of the graphical assets on the current displayed screen. Minimizes impact on bill of materials (BOM).
- Clean design, clean architecture, and drag-and-drop functionality
- Leverages the Eclipse™ environment
- GPU hardware optimized
- The UI prototype is your product
