We are attending this years Renesas DevCon.  The venue is terrific and the event started with a bang by giving all the attendees a great ravel bag, Jason has decided this is the best bag ever.  Yesterday Jason participated in a meet the experts panel discussion on HMI development.  The talk was very interesting and discussed the movement towards interactive touch based interfaces on everything from thermostats to mobile devices.

We also participated in the technology fair where we demonstrated Storyboard running on an SH4A platform.  There is a lot of interest around user interface development and Storyboard Designer was a big hit, especially the importing of Photoshop files which showed just how easily you can get started with a new interface.

Stay tuned for more from Day 2 ...

Brian co-founded Crank Software in 2007, after leading the graphics development group at QNX Software Systems where he spent the majority of his career working and consulting on UI design, embedded software architecture, and web browser technology. As he watched embedded graphics teams struggle, he developed an acute understanding of the common workflow problem between the designers and engineers. Brian built Crank Storyboard out of this need to help these teams collaborate more effectively, optimize for exceptional performance, and get their award-winning touch screens to market, close to 50% faster. A triathlon and mountain biking enthusiast (explaining the name Crank Software), Brian is a regular Ironman and cyclocross participant, and can often be found biking the trails with his co-founders behind the Crank offices in Kanata, Ottawa. Brian holds an Electrical Engineering degree from the Technical University of Nova Scotia.
