Crank Storyboard Suite

What if you could decouple the roles of the UI designer and embedded systems engineer allowing them to focus on their core competencies? What if they could complete their work in parallel? And, what if this better way of approaching product development delivered the envisioned user interface (UI) user experience (UX)? Today’s engineers need a better way.

Crank Storyboard Suite enables UI Designers and Embedded Developers with the ability to quickly prototype, develop and release rich animated user interfaces for embedded devices.

The Crank Storyboard Suite was architected for engineers by engineers. Storyboard allows UI designers, with no programming experience, to drag-and-drop their UI designs and do this in parallel with, yet independently from, the engineers who are working on the coding. Storyboard simplifies the design process, saves valuable time, and leverages the core skills of each valued member of the team.

Crank Storyboard Designer

Crank Storyboard Designer enables user interface (UI) designers to easily prototype the look and feel of a product, and then move the prototype directly to the embedded target for deployment. UI designers maintain full control over the UI and user experience (UX) without having to perform a hand off to an embedded systems engineer for implementation. More...

Crank Storyboard Embedded Engine

Crank Storyboard Embedded Engine is the runtime component that drives the content developed in Crank Storyboard Designer on embedded devices. It is architected exclusively to address the unique challenges of bringing a rich user interface (UI) user experience (UX) to resource-constrained embedded devices. The Embedded Engine’s plugin architecture makes it easy to scale across product lines from simple displays to rich UIs.

It enables you to use one UI solution across all of your products independent of the hardware and OS used on the device. Supported CPUs include ARM9, ARM11, SH, PowerPC and x86. Supported operating systems include Linux, QNX Neutrino, VxWorks and Windows CE. If your processor or operating system isn't listed then please contact us to discuss your requirements. More...
