Wind River's WindML^® GUI Development Software
 

WindML is an ideal solution for embedded real-time system developers who need to get a 2D GUI up and running quickly.

Wind River's WindML Overview
Wind River's WindML consists of two application-programming interfaces (API), a software development kit (SDK), and a driver development kit (DDK). The WindML SDK enables the development of hardware independent GUIs.

The WindML DDK is used to develop the required device drivers.
