Additional Upgrades Benefit Bridgetek’s EVE Toolchain -
Including Support for Third Party Hardware

th
March 2020 - Further extending the operational parameters of the
ecosystem that accompanies its award-winning Embedded Video Engine (EVE)
graphic controllers, Bridgetek announces a new improved version of EVE
Screen Editor (ESE). Relying on simple drag-and-drop actions, ESE 3.3 is the
latest update to the company’s intuitive Windows-based tool. This is intended to
assist engineers in expediting advanced level HMI construction, without
requiring any prior expertise in that area. Through its use, engineers can
optimise their HMI layout and create detailed display lists. They can also
evaluate the effectiveness of their HMI and make alterations, as well as
experimenting with different design concepts and configurations.
The new and improved version of ESE is able to connect to numerous items of
external hardware, such as the VM800, VM816 and ME81x HMI development
platforms. In addition, the device sync feature enables the latest generation of
third party EVE display modules from Bridgetek partner Riverdi to be
supported. A greater breadth of example projects can now be accessed,
including ones relating to functions like the Blend_Func and the circular
progress bar widget. For greater convenience, ESE 3.3 allows either horizontal
or vertical movements to be accurately charted (with XY coordinates given).
The user can also constrain an object’s movement along one axis when it is
being dragging (for precision placement). Through the analytical features
incorporated, engineers can check a given pixel’s value on the status bar (by
hovering the mouse over the viewport window).
About Bridgetek
Founded in 2016, Bridgetek supplies highly advanced ICs and board level products to meet the
exacting demands of a constantly evolving global technology landscape. The company’s Embedded
Video Engine (EVE) graphic controller ICs each integrate display, audio and touch functionality onto
a single chip, thereby dramatically reducing the time period and bill-of-materials costs associated with
developing next-generation Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems. These are complemented by its
highly-differentiated, speed-optimized microcontroller units (MCUs) with augmented connectivity
features.
