Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for providing a window management system for an embedded system. In one embodiment a method includes configuring an operating system of an embedded system based on a protocol provided between one or more application windows and a window manager, each application window associated with an application executed by the operating system, storing display content of the one or more application windows in a buffer, and compositing the one or more application windows in the buffer. The method may further include outputting data of the buffer for display of the one or more application windows based on the compositing, wherein an application programming interface is specified for the application to directly access graphics hardware of the embedded system.
