Introduction 

About ELI (the Easy LCD Interface) 
 

ELI

®

 is Future Designs, Inc.’s family of long-life, plug-and-play embedded displays. ELI 

products are true modular embedded display solutions that require no engineering or lead-time. 
All ELI products are compatible with a wide range of single board computers including 
Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black and Windows-based units. FDI designed ELI as an embedded 
display option that requires minimal development time to help customers reach production 
quickly. Once a product is in production, FDI’s 10-15 year ELI product availability guarantee 
helps ensure production schedules without the risk of expensive or time consuming redesigns.

ELI Compatibility 
 

ELI products are compatible with most single board computers, PCs and operating 

systems. The table below illustrates the results of FDI’s compatibility tests with popular 
operating systems and platforms. Our results, as indicated in the table, demonstrate ELI’s 
versatility but the table is not exhaustive. ELI products are designed to work with any single 
board computer that has an HDMI or DVI output. To submit a question about ELI’s
