ESP-Brookesia is a C/C++ development framework for creating human-machine interactions on AIoT devices, targeting developers seeking to accelerate HMI application product development and market release. It simplifies UI design and application development through efficient tools and platforms.

How It Works

The framework is built on C/C++ and natively supports the ESP-IDF development system, leveraging its component ecosystem. It employs an app-based management approach for UI isolation and multi-app coexistence. The architecture comprises a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) interfacing with ESP-IDF, a Middle layer providing standardized interfaces via System Services and Function Components for decoupling, and an Application layer offering AI support through an AI Framework (HMI, Agent for LLMs, Protocol for communication) and a System Framework for product-specific functionalities.
