KDAB Is Your Embedded Software Partner

KDAB helps customers handle demanding embedded software projects, for example when they develop high-end user interfaces (UIs) for the first time. Learn more about it in this video.

Apart from bringing know-how to an embedded software project, we also help to amplify development bandwidth. Customers that have software development experience but lack time and resources hire KDAB to get the project done faster or more broadly than initially planned.

We also create useful developer tools that make developers more productive (GammaRay, Hotspot, Heaptrack, Clazy and more). They are usually freely available, e.g. on GitHub:

GammaRay https://www.kdab.com/development-resources/qt-tools/gammaray/
Hotspot https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot
Heaptrack https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack
Clazy https://github.com/KDE/clazy

You can also learn more about them in various videos on this channel.
As KDAB has been doing Qt projects for over 20 years, we can usually help customers find a way to get projects done or find and fix a performance problem.

To get a more systematic introduction about how to approach these kinds of problems, KDAB offers scheduled and on-site trainings for embedded developers (see more below).

About Speaker: Till Adam has been with KDAB as a developer, trainer, and consultant for more than 15 years. Today, he mainly serves as its Chief Commercial Officer.

Embedded World 2020: GammaRay Introspection Tool for Qt Embedded Applications

GammaRay is a free software introspection tool for Qt applications developed by KDAB. Leveraging the QObject introspection mechanism it allows you to observe and manipulate your application at runtime. This works both locally on your workstation and remotely on an embedded target.

This demo has been shown at Embedded World 2020.

- High-level introspection tool for Qt applications
- Insight into Qt Quick and Qt 3D scene graphs
- Visual state machine debugger
- Inspect models, layouts, rendering and much more

Choosing a software stack - Is Qt right for your project?

One of the most difficult choices when starting any new software project is selecting the programming language and framework your team will use to create it. Should you stick with Qt because it’s the best tool for the job? Should you switch to something using web- based technology or designed explicitly for mobile? We can help you structure your decision-making process around the software options that might be the best fit for you and give you the necessary guidance to head in that direction.

Embedded World 2020: Qi - Cellular Tissue Imaging in Qt 3D

The KDAB group supports Quantitative Imaging Systems (Qi) in its efforts to revolutionize cancer research, paving the way for new treatments. The focus is to speed up and enable the rendering of huge amounts of data so Qi-Tissue can analyze images of biopsies from patients and label individual cells with over a hundred biomarkers.

The demo shown at Embedded World 2020 includes

- 3D visualization of microscopy of tissue samples
- 2D images from cutting edge clinical diagnostics data sets
- Real-time conversion to 3D from 30 image channels using Qt 3D

Choosing a CPU - Is the i.MX 8 right for your project?

When building an embedded systems product, among your earliest decisions is the choice of hardware. More specifically, on what CPU should you base your design? Today’s system-on-chip processors have a huge array of resources to contribute to your solution: multiple cores and on-board DSPs, graphics engines and display controllers, peripheral support and connectivity interfaces, and more. Because a new hardware platform entails a costly investment it makes sense to consider your hardware selection wisely.

Whether you are considering an NXP i.MX 8, NXP i.MX 6, or another vendor’s silicon, there are many factors to take into account in order to make the right hardware choice. If you’d like some of our advice in narrowing down your silicon decisions, we’d be happy to help.

Embedded World 2020: KUESA™ 3D Runtime on iMX8M

Kuesa™ 3D Runtime is a glTF2.0 importer for Qt 3D.

Kuesa 3D Runtime is one part of Kuesa 3D Studio, a complete toolset that provides a unified workflow for designers and developers to create, optimize, and integrate real-time 3D content from design tools into a 3D or hybrid 2D/3D software application.

Building a full 3D engine on top of Qt 3D involves the non-trivial effort of turning 3D assets into a smoothly running and bug-free application. Kuesa 3D Runtime solves this problem by converting glTF2.0 files into Qt 3D assets.

All main 3D hosts like Blender, 3DS Max and Maya have a glTF2.0 exporter. A glTF2.0 file can be loaded into Kuesa 3D Runtime as easily as loading a JPEG. Currently Kuesa 3D is the only way to properly use glTF with Qt 3D and is mostly glTF2.0 compliant. Examples of glTF2.0 features supported are: skinned animations, PBR Material, Unlit Material, compressed meshes and Light extension.

This demo was shown at Embedded World 2020.

- Performance optimized real time rendering
- Streamlined integration of 3D content from DCC like Blender
- Seamless integration into Qt / QML / Qt 3D
- Intuitive / artistic approach of defining new "Iro Materials"

Embedded World 2020: unu Electric Scooter Dashboard UI

KDAB helped unu to build a stylish, embedded high-resolution display for their second-generation electric scooter using Qt. KDAB created a navigation framework running on an industry standard Yocto-based platform. The dashboard of the scooter is built up with three separate device parts.

The 3rd party map software was integrated with Qt Quick scene and the speedometer was implemented using OpenGL shaders to optimize the visual performance. The translation back-end code was customized without touching the UI-code to provide full flexibility for the copy writer.

This demo shown at Embedded World 2020 includes
- Navigation framework integrated with Qt Quick scene
- Speedometer implemented using OpenGL shaders
- Running on a Yocto-based platform
