Introduction

ADE (Acorn Development Environment) for man machine user interface design program or tool for RDK

The software or the application to program the RDK is called ADE (Acorn Development Environment) developed by the manufacturer of RDK. ADE is the only tool that users ever need for designing man machine user interface or HMI. ADE offers excellent sets of widgets that enable users to develop HMI of fascinating visual effects. ADE is a no-code/low-code development platform that requires a very short and flat learning curve. By working with RDK product line and the ADE for HMI designs, users can significantly cut the development cycle time but create an HMI with aesthetics. In short, ADE coupled with RDK is a powerful HMI solution that can shorten customer’s time-to-market cycle with elevated UX.

The system requirement for running ADE is a PC with Window10 64-bit system. Once finishing HMI design in ADE, users only need a USB cable for downloading the HMI design to RDK panel. No other third-party tool chain, compiler, driver, loader is needed.
