In the business of embedded graphics since 1991, Altia makes it easy to design, develop and deploy the best graphical user experience from your artist’s imagination to production hardware quickly and efficiently.

Products & Services offered by Altia

Altia Design

Altia Design is a WYSIWYG GUI editor and the centerpiece of Altia’s toolchain, used for building high-performance, professional-looking prototypes and GUIs without hand coding graphics one line at a time.

• Collaborate efficiently with cloud-based access and pre-configured projects
• Design and develop GUI models that can be scaled to a variety of STMicroelectronics hardware
• Deliver your vision to production by importing 2D/3D assets from popular graphics tools
• Connect to professional-grade logic tools to test your production code
• Get your best UX by testing GUI model early and often with customers and key stakeholders
• Go to market quickly with time-saving workflow that engages all members of your team

Altia DeepScreen

Altia DeepScreen is an automatic code generator that turn your Altia Design model into compact, deployable graphics code that is optimized to leverage the unique feature set of your selected STMicroelectronics hardware.

• Automatically generate graphics code—no hand coding required
• Build one GUI model and run on any hardware, any OS (or no OS)
• Pre-validate optimum processor and memory during development
• Realize better quality, reduced risk and lowest possible price point
• Simplified certification with efficient C source code
• No loss of concept – the artist’s vision is deployed to production hardware
• Save time and effort by scaling the same GUI model to a variety of STMicroelectronics hardware

Altia CloudWare™

Altia CloudWare™ pairs Altia’s production-proven graphical user interface software with popular embedded hardware to create a test drive experience for your GUI from anywhere in the world. (Currently available for the STM32F7. More platforms coming soon!).

• Test Hardware Today - Bypass the wait for an evaluation board and test with our physical hardware in the Cloud
• Save Time - Evaluate hardware quickly and get to the best target for your project
• Collaborate Effectively - Team up efficiently with cloud-based tools and a unified development stack
• Try Before You Buy - Access evaluation hardware and software now—with no upfront cost

Altia in STMicroelectronics Ecosystem

Because Altia supports hardware ranging from high end SoCs down to low power MCUs, GUI development teams can leverage the same Altia GUI model across various STMicroelectronics products.

How Altia’s scalable solution works:

• Start with full-featured interface and modify it to port to right-priced hardware platforms and different display sizes
• Get to hardware quickly to verify performance and test on production-intent hardware
• Compare side-by-side performance with Altia’s plug-in code generators
• Reuse your GUI across your brands and families of products
• Save time and development cost by leveraging GUI model across multiple programs
• Port your GUI to lower cost or more readily available hardware at any time during the life of your product
