How to Control the Home of the Future – In Home Displays Bringing Science Fiction Into Reality

Details

Overview

While your home may have no centralized control panel, we are not too far off from a home like the Jetsons’ where we can command and control the home from a single In-Home display. How will the In-home display be innovative and provide the right combination of command, status and control to automate the homes of the future? What features do I need, and do I have the right mix of hardware and software to enable those features. In this webinar we will discuss the needs in both hardware and software in an example of an In Home display panel using TI’s AM1808 hardware and its array of peripherals matched with Mentor Graphic’s Nucleus ReadyStart offering for the same platform. We will also show how to use the UI as a way to create an intuitive user interface that makes In home display easier to use.

What You Will Learn

  • How to configure the hardware for the peripheral set they want.
  • How to configure the software to match.
  • Talking to the hardware through high-level API’s allows for easy system integration.
  • Using the UI to make a differentiated and innovative user experience.

Who Should Attend

  • Embedded system designers and project managers working on consumer devices
