KDAB at Embedded World 2026, Nuremberg, Germany

At Embedded World 2026, KDAB showcased how we help customers build robust, high-performance embedded software using Qt, C++, Rust, Slint, and Flutter. From multi-display streaming and real-time 3D UIs to developer tooling and continuous integration on real hardware, our booth featured hands-on demos that reflect the challenges of embedded systems.

Visitors stopped by our booth 4-302 to experience the demos live and to speak with our engineers about their projects.

Migration and Modernization Services

KDAB helps customers transition legacy systems - whether that means moving from Windows CE to Embedded Linux or upgrading an existing software stack. This includes advanced code migration and tooling, as well as setting up complete embedded Linux environments with technologies such as Yocto or Torizon, tailored to the target hardware.

For teams planning to move from Windows CE, there is a guide on migrating to Embedded Linux, outlining key challenges, architecture considerations, and best‑practice workflows in detail. Read it here

Beyond Windows Embedded migrations, KDAB offers expertise in a wide range of modernization projects, including Qt 5 to Qt 6 migrations, legacy framework transitions, and broader codebase and platform modernization efforts.

Rugged Controller for ARX Gereon RCS

KDAB Designed and Built a UI for Robotic Platform & Payload Control

• UI built using Qt 6 and QML
• GStreamer for camera video playback
• Controller <-> Robot communication over multiple networks
• Offline autonomous mapping support

Live 3D UI for Autonomous Public Transport

• Autonomous bus driven by Motor AI infrastructure
• Interactive 3D dashboard
• Real-time data streamed via MQTT
• Touch interface built with Slint

Qt GStreamer Multi-Display Demo

Stream Qt Applications to Multiple Browser Instances

• Standard Qt/QML Application on an Intel Atom-based CPU
• Complex GStreamer pipeline to transform into a WebRTC stream
• Improved the GStreamer plugin
• Results viewable in any WebRTC-capable browser
• Full touch input and interactivity across multiple screens

DeviceLab for Embedded Hardware

Continuous Integration System on Real Devices

• DeviceLab allows for testing Flutter applications on various embedded boards
• The Flutter developer experience on embedded is falling short at the moment
• To improve the experience, it is necessary to start testing Flutter on embedded hardware
• A big improvement would be to integrate some of the most common embedded platforms into the official Flutter DeviceLab

CXX-Qt - Safe Rust Bindings for Qt

Integration for C++ and Rust applications

KDAB supports and maintains CXX-Qt. A set of Rust crates for creating bidirectional Rust ⇄ C++ bindings with Qt. It can be used to integrate Rust into C++ applications via CMake, or to build Rust applications with Cargo.

Watch our YouTube series "Mixing C++ and Rust" to learn more.

• Enables Rust and C++ ecosystems to be used in the same application
• Allows for idiomatic Rust and C++ code
• Integrates easily into existing applications
