Q. What is the difference between VLP and HMI SDK?¶

Please see the figure below. The left diagram in the figure shows the development method without the HMI SDK. Users need to download and integrate necessary software packages such as VLP (Verified Linux Package), graphics library, codec library, and HMI framework or libraries. The right diagram in the figure shows the development method with the HMI SDK. The HMI SDK is provided as an 'all-in-one package'. Users do NOT need to look for appropriate software and worry about how to integrate all modules.

For information about VLP, please visit the website RZ/G Software Package.

Q. What rules does HMI SDK version numbering follow?¶

The version number of the HMI SDK consists of four numbers.

• Version W.X.Y.Z
  • W = This number is updated when we add new application frameworks or update existing frameworks.
  • X = This number is linked to the major version number of VLP.
  • Y = This number is updated when we make semi-annual VLP updates, add device support, and make minor updates in frameworks.
  • Z = This number is updated when we fix bugs.

This rule was effective from December 27, 2024.
