ICS appears here as an embedded software and UX engineering house turning OEM ideas into production HMIs. Mateo from ICS explains how the team builds Yocto-based Linux platforms, real-time gauge clusters and graphical user interfaces for motorcycles, medical devices and perception demos using Qt, QML, Flutter and other open-source stacks across safety-critical markets. https://www.ics.com/services/embedded-systems/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

On the Indian and Polaris motorcycles, ICS delivers the full digital cockpit: gauge cluster rendering, turn-by-turn navigation, map display, Bluetooth headset integration and offline search. The rugged, waterproof capacitive touchscreens stay usable in rain or snow, while the software generates speed-limit alerts and navigation prompts entirely offline when required. Because one display is the primary gauge cluster, strict latency and regulatory requirements apply, so the team budgets every millisecond from sensor input to on-screen feedback to stay within compliance.
The video, filmed at Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, also shows how similar engineering patterns extend into life-critical medical applications. A lung transport system vendor relies on ICS to implement embedded control electronics and an HMI that maintain pressure, temperature and other parameters within narrow tolerances during organ transport. Clinical specialists specify the physiological requirements, while ICS translates them into robust control loops, alarms and operator workflows that support reliable transplant care.
Another part of the booth revisits an Automotive Grade Linux dashboard demo implemented twice, once in Qt/QML and once in Flutter, to compare toolchains for in-vehicle infotainment and instrument clusters. A CARLA driving simulator feeds realistic vehicle telemetry into both stacks to validate real-time behaviour, signal handling and graphics performance. Mateo highlights how relying on open-source frameworks with commercial licensing options lets customers learn, prototype and later maintain their own platforms while keeping a consistent UX.
Finally, ICS showcases perception-driven UX with lidar sensors, ASUS compute platforms and embedded AI pipelines that detect people in front of the booth, plus a playful toy-tank-versus-giraffe demo visualising object recognition. At the same time, Mateo describes ICS as a remote-first engineering organisation spread across North America, Europe and South America, regularly meeting OEMs on-site for programs like the Sunnyvale motorcycle work. That combination of geographically distributed teams, strong open-source expertise and close customer collaboration is what makes their embedded work tangible.
