The Gateway Smart Panel Solution is a panel platform for professional audio systems, home and building automation, industrial HMI vision and automation, consumer and healthcare applications. Through a WIFI/BT module it interconnects every device in the home, giving a clear overview of the whole installation, and serves as the control panel for the smart home and the operating hub for all connected devices.
Solution Overview
In this solution the LCD is a fully laminated display-and-touch module: the touch panel communicates over IIC and the display over MIPI-DSI. Some of the optional modules in the block diagram overlap in function and can be selected according to the actual application.
