About this demo

Simulated vehicle signals and illustrative timing. Early information depends on project-specific integration. Linux startup time is unchanged.

The real-time core retains display authority. Vehicle controllers determine operating permissions.

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.

  1. 01
    Start the display early

    Bootloader loads GraphLab Core and the real-time core initializes the active path.

  2. 02
    Let Linux start in parallel

    The existing Linux stack renders without visibly rebuilding the panel path.

  3. 03
    Select the accepted frame

    The product switches to the Linux-rendered UI at a defined readiness point.

Three levels of control

Choose the visible outcome your product needs.

Branded startup

GraphLab Splash

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

Your brand stays visible until Linux is ready.

Status and fallback

GraphLab Boot

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

Branding with observed startup progress.

Real-time GUI library

GraphLab Pro

GraphLab Pro includes Boot and the real-time graphics library for developing your own early GUI. Connect your interface to data and controls available on the real-time core, then transition to your Linux application.

  • Real-time graphics library access
  • Customer-developed early screens
  • Project-specific integration support
