NXP i.MX8M Plus
GraphLab Boot tested on Toradex Verdin with LVDS and Torizon OS.
Embedded display authority
Replace black screens and boot flicker with branding, observed status, or an early GUI for industrial displays and other embedded products on assessed NXP i.MX hardware. Keep your existing Linux UI.

Linux starts in parallel across all three paths.
A different display architecture
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.
Bootloader loads GraphLab Core and the real-time core initializes the active path.
The existing Linux stack renders without visibly rebuilding the panel path.
The product switches to the Linux-rendered UI at a defined readiness point.
Illustrative GraphLab startup sequence
One illustrative mobility example for an architecture intended for industrial displays, instruments, and mobility products. Three early experiences. The real-time core retains display authority while Linux starts in parallel.
Turn the key to ON to play the illustrative sequence.

Defined real-time display fallbackThree levels of control
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.
Your brand stays visible until Linux is ready.
Add observed status, meaningful progress, approved custom text, and defined fallback to a continuously active display path.
Branding with observed startup progress.

GraphLab Boot tested on Toradex Verdin with LVDS and Torizon OS.

GraphLab Boot tested on the Toradex Colibri i.MX8QXP platform.
Software integration
The published Boot reference demonstrates Qt, Embedded Wizard, and Crank Storyboard on Verdin iMX8M Plus with Torizon. Other frameworks and Android require a target-specific assessment.
Demonstrated on the Boot reference. Keep early output visible until the Qt application presents a complete frame.
Demonstrated with the Torizon Demo Gallery on the validated Boot reference.
Demonstrated with the Torizon Demo Gallery on the validated Boot reference.
Assess the target renderer, shared buffers, and application readiness before integration.

Assess the rendering backend and display path for your target; the published Boot proof covers other frameworks.
