Adding a graphical interface to a microcontroller-based project may be more trouble than it's worth when a large, high-resolution display is involved. Most microcontrollers don't have the processing power or memory bandwidth needed to drive such displays. A single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi can solve that problem, but it also introduces the complexity of an operating system and additional hardware that may not be necessary. CuprumFlow Graphics aims to offer an alternative with a pair of small controller boards designed specifically for driving high-resolution graphical interfaces.

The CuprumFlow Graphics platform consists of two boards, one built around a CPU and another that uses an FPGA. Both measure just 50×26 mm and work without an operating system. The CPU-based version supports resolutions up to 1920×1080, while the current FPGA model tops out at 1366×768. Both support 24-bit color and alpha transparency, making them suitable for applications ranging from industrial control...
