Beautiful, Fast, Easy-to-build & Cost-Effective Embedded GUIs

An embedded GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a software interface specifically designed for embedded systems like microcontrollers or single-board computers. It allows users to interact with the system visually, using elements such as icons, buttons, sliders, and text fields to control and monitor functionality.

MicroEJ’s Embedded GUI solution delivers a visually appealing and high-performance user experience, making it ideal for a wide range of industries, including wearables, home appliances, smart home devices, medical equipment, smart printers, and various other compact electronic products.

Optimize Costs Without Compromising Performance

MicroEJ’s low-power Embedded GUI solution minimizes electronic costs by efficiently managing memory (RAM/ROM) and hardware resources.

With MicroEJ’s UI Engine, you can achieve a high-quality user interface without relying on expensive, high-performance processors. Its lightweight architecture runs smoothly on cost-effective microcontrollers and microprocessors, starting at just $1, making it an ideal solution for budget-conscious designs.

 

“The extreme versatility and ease of use of MicroEJ’s solution are outstanding. Its flexibility drives the creativity and boosts the efficiency of our research department. Since we started collaborating, Polar Electro has accelerated the release of a watch to market. Our partnership delivers advanced user interfaces and other great features to our users while dramatically reducing electronics requirements to minimize carbon footprint and cost.”

Said Sander Werring – CEO at Polar Electro Group.

Accelerate UI Prototyping with Powerful Tools

Prototype and Test on a Virtual Device

Design your product without needing physical hardware—explore multiple hardware configurations, optimize the balance between features and cost, and collaborate seamlessly with different teams to refine specifications. With MicroEJ’s virtual device simulation, you can also test system inputs and outputs, such as sensors and actuators, ensuring a well-optimized and cost-effective design.

 

Seamlessly Transition from Virtual to Real Hardware

Developing on a real electronic board is just as effortless as working with a virtual device. With 100% code portability, everything you create for your virtual prototype—including testing tools—transfers seamlessly to the actual hardware without modifications. Whether you prefer to refine your design virtually first or dive straight into hands-on development, the choice is yours!

Embedded GUI Libraries and Tools

Advanced Tools and Libraries for Seamless Development

MicroEJ offers intuitive APIs and a rich set of free GUI libraries and widgets (MicroUI and MWT), enabling efficient cross-hardware development.

Easily import, edit, or create fonts from all major formats—including Latin, Arabic, and Asian—using our Font Designer & Generator.

Java and Android developers will appreciate our powerful toolset for coding, testing (manual or automated), debugging, profiling, and internationalizing fully featured embedded GUIs with ease.
