Discover Bridgetek BT820B – add hi-res graphics, touch and live video to your existing MCU!

In our interview with Gavin Moore from Bridgetek, we explored their 5th-generation EVE chipset. This Embedded Video Engine handles both incoming and outgoing LVDS signals and integrates I2S audio, all controlled via an SPI interface. Developers can thus retain their preferred MCU while adding powerful graphics capability.

Adding a complex new feature like graphics and a touch interface to an embedded system typically means changing microcontroller supplier. And that usually means learning how to use new software libraries, tools, and IDE.

Bridgetek, with their EVE Embedded Video Engine chipsets, helps developers add impressive graphics and integrate camera feeds with their current MCU, as long as a spare SPI interface is available. To get developers started with their 5^th-generation device, the BT820, a hardware development kit is available, and if you’d prefer not to get into the details of board design, there is also a ready-to-integrate module complete with DDR3 memory.

Gavin Moore of Bridgetek also shared details on their automotive temperature range BT817A and showed off their range of ready-to-use rectangular and circular displays.
