Some details
Kontron is a global leader in embedded computing technology. With more than 30% of its employees in R&,D, Kontron creates many of the standards that drive the world’s embedded computing platforms. Kontron’s product longevity, local engineering, support, and value-added services helps to create a sustainable and viable embedded solution for OEMs and system integrators.
CHALLENGE
The main challenge was to visualise data from embedded devices produced by Kontron.
- Show parameters of embedded devices
- Allow to manage devices in easy way
- Discover all devices in network
- Connect to them throught VNC
GOALS
Most of controls shared between IOS, Android
(charts, gauges)
Network discovery shared between platforms
VNC code shareable between platforms
SOLUTION
Mobile application allows to:
- Discovers all devices in local network using multicasting
- Shows them on dynamic list
- Shows all most important data about every discovered device
- Shows all voltages of selected device
- Shows all fans’ speeds
- Show GPIO pins values
SUMMARY
Thanks to application it',s very easy to read parameters from embedded Kontron devices – just connect IPad to network, discover all devices in seconds and explore them.
Easy way to control devices (VNC, brightness)
Easy way to discover problems with embedded devices (temperature, GPIO’s, problems with fans)
