ILC Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Eiya Onishi; hereinafter 'the Company'), a provider of integrated development environments for embedded GUI, will release new versions of its GUI development solution 'GENWARE (Genware)' — 'GENWARE3 Ver. 2.88.000' and 'GENWARE4 Ver. 1.38.000' — at the end of April.
Previously, the UI design tool (GENSKETCH) and the embedded runtime (GENIFA) had to be matched in version. Introducing the latest UI development environment required upgrading the embedded runtime side as well.
This version resolves this constraint, allowing the latest UI design tool (GENSKETCH) to generate code that runs as-is on the conventional embedded runtime 'GENIFA'.
This makes it possible to apply the latest UI without changing existing systems. Furthermore, design assets created with the latest UI design tools such as Figma can be incorporated into existing runtime environments, realizing a consistent development flow from design to implementation.
Overview of New Features
While previously, introducing the latest UI development environment was difficult in some cases due to runtime constraints, this version allows for the promotion of UI advancement and efficiency while maintaining existing assets and operational environments.
This feature provides the following value:
• Renew UI while leveraging existing systems (no replacement needed)
• Seamless integration with Figma-based design flow
• Improved development efficiency and enhanced design quality
■ Benefits for 'GENWARE 3/4' Users
It will be possible to utilize the latest UI design tools while maintaining existing systems. Additionally, by gradually migrating to the new version's development environment while leveraging existing development assets, upgrades can be achieved with reduced investment risk.
■ Benefits for New Users
GENWARE3/4 is used by many customers as a lightweight and high-performance embedded GUI development environment. This version will support the realization of high-quality user interfaces incorporating the latest UI development methods and further enhance development productivity.
GENWARE will continue to support increased productivity in UI development in the embedded domain and flexible system construction through software definition.
Availability and Customer Benefits
The new versions of 'GENWARE3/4' are scheduled for release at the end of April 2026. These versions will be provided free of charge to customers who have signed an annual maintenance contract.
