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. See the compatibility tab at
https://www.teamfdi.com/product-details/eli70-cp
results of FDI’s compatibility tests with popular operating systems and platforms. Our results,
as indicated in the table, demonstrate ELI 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 compatibility with a platform or operating system that
is not included in the table, contact a member of the FDI support team at
