System services starting
One display ownerLinux joins the active path as a renderer at the agreed readiness point.
A different display architecture
Linux renders. The real-time core remains display authority.
GraphLab starts and retains the display path on the real-time core. Linux renders into shared framebuffers and becomes visible only when the agreed frame is ready.
- 01Start the display early
Bootloader loads GraphLab Core and the real-time core initializes the active path.
- 02Let Linux start in parallel
The existing Linux stack renders without visibly rebuilding the panel path.
- 03Select the accepted frame
The product switches to the Linux-rendered UI at a defined readiness point.

Choose the visible outcome your product needs.
Branded startup
Use GraphLab Splash to replace the black startup interval with approved branding. It keeps your logo or artwork visible from power-on until the Linux UI is ready.
- Project configuration from known timings
- Approved early branding
- Persistent real-time display authority
From €2,999Per assessed project
Explore Splash Status and fallback
Add observed status, meaningful progress, approved custom text, and defined fallback to a continuously active display path.
- Everything in Splash
- Status and progress tied to observed milestones
- Approved custom status text
From €4,999Per assessed project
Explore Boot Interactive early interface
GraphLab Pro designs a project-specific GUI on the real-time core, connects it to the agreed product peripherals, and targets availability in under one second while Linux starts in parallel.
- Functional GUI connected to project peripherals
- Under-one-second availability as an agreed design target
- Custom screens, states, copy, and artwork
