Meet Perun UI - the demo we benchmarked

We created the same GUI demo using Qt on Linux (Yocto) and Android + Kotlin - a digital dashboard for an electric vehicle. It’s animation-rich, visually detailed, and runs on NXP i.MX8M Plus hardware to reflect real embedded conditions. This allowed us to measure how each stack performs and behaves in practice - not just on paper.

Taste the benchmarks

Click on the image to preview a sample benchmark page from the report. It shows side-by-side measurements of performance and resource utilization, taken directly from the target hardware

Each test was performed under identical conditions, covering metrics such as:

  • Boot sequence duration

  • Rendering smoothness and frame times

  • CPU and GPU utilization

  • Memory footprint and thermal readings

Hardware Platform

The performance tests were conducted on a Toradex Verdin platform based on the NXP i.MX 8M Plus processor.

  • Toradex Verdin iMX8M Plus
  • NXP® i.MX 8M Plus applications processor
  • Quad Cortex-A53 @ 1.8 GHz + Cortex-M7 @ 800 MHz
  • HDMI output (1920×720 @ 60Hz)
