Future Designs, Inc. (FDI) µEZ® GUI Board Assembly & Dev Kit

Future Designs, Inc. (FDI) µEZ® GUI Board Assembly and Development Kit offers enhanced processing capabilities to FDI’s standalone microcontroller-based µEZ GUI family. The uEZGUI-4357-70WVN-BA is based on the NXP LPC4357 microcontroller with Floating Point Unit and high-speed SPIFI Flash. The board is optimal for math-intensive applications, including high-speed graphics processing.

The FDI GUI Board is designed to be used as an “off-the-shelf” Graphical User Interface (GUI) or Human Machine Interface (HMI) in a variety of end-customer applications. The small, self-contained design is well suited to be embedded directly into products, and FDI has available prepackaged versions for standalone use.
