BRICKS Foundation
The tool for edge IoT system
Free · Designed for iPad
BRICKS is a tools for visual designer and technicians to collaboratively design and development process, data rendering, deployment, and security. Combining designer-friendly workflows, deep technical access, full production quality content viewport, BRICKS enables you to iterate your designs faster and more efficiently.
BRICKS allow the designer to see the installation working in context, making it easy to visualize how the content will look, feel and behave on a single output or even when clustered across multiple outputs and machines. BRICKS offer the most reliable, scalable, industry-tested architecture available.
BRICKS provide unlimited display stitching system, any numbers of display can be setup by your imagination.
BRICKS is easy to setup Text, Picture, Video, Chart, Web-view, and Camera Inputs
more v2.25.2
Highlights:
- Media Flow downloads are bounded by how long they stall rather than by total elapsed time, so a large file on a slow link is no longer cancelled mid-transfer
- Media Flow storage syncs can no longer wedge forever, so the download file URLs outlet stays available for the life of the app
- Generator Assistant attached files are indexed with their real content, so citations match the document body instead of empty text
Bug fixes:
- Media Flow refetches newly uploaded audio, PDF, and generic files that are never transcoded, and cancels queued fetches when a generator is refreshed
- Media Flow log lines are tagged with the box name and id, so several generators in one config are distinguishable
- Generator Assistant: removing one file no longer wipes the whole attachment list, and the documented chunkSize option is honoured
- Generator Vector Store: content added with Insert Content appears in the file list
- Generator MQTT Broker releases its port when an app refreshes, instead of failing to bind for the rest of the process's life
- Generator MCP Server publishes connected remotes for Streamable-HTTP clients, authenticates continuation requests, and rejects another client's session key
- Generator HTTP redacts request and response headers in logs, so credentials no longer end up in the log panel
- Data Calculation: STRING_INDEX_OF searching backwards starts from the end of the string, and a command node with an unknown command name is skipped instead of failing the calculation
- Excel files with mixed cell formatting or a Japanese furigana guide are read correctly
- Downloads enforce their configured size limit while streaming
- The bundled Weather example no longer carries a default API key
- Other performance and stability improvements
2.25.2 1d ago
v2.25.1
Highlights:
- Generator LLM (GGML): llama.cpp runtime updated to b10156, with cross-turn KV cache reuse for recurrent / hybrid / SWA models and new state-cache budget and checkpoint controls
- Generator Vector Store: the GGML embedding model and tokenizer can be offloaded to a Buttress server, so a device can index and search documents without downloading either model
- Generators can serialize incoming work: HTTP Server request queueing, plus message queueing for TCP, UDP, WebSocket, MQTT, Serial Port, WebRTC, and BLE Central (off by default)
Bug fixes:
- Preloaded model files are found in the on-device cache again, so Generator LLM / STT / TTS no longer re-download their weights on every cold start
- Generator HTTP Server: request lines split across packets, route-level SSE content types, and multipart upload filenames are all handled correctly
- Generator BLE Central applies runtime retainTime changes to the discovered device list, and BLE Peripheral no longer leaks a native handle while finalizing
- Brick Items use a numeric data key for item identity, so per-item brick state follows the datum instead of its row position
- Data Calculation parses standard ISO 8601 and RFC 2822 datetime strings correctly, and datetime updates no longer fabricate the current time
- Local Sync preserves delivery order across latency compensation and prevents two devices from leading at once
- Automation: simulating a press on an Items row respects that row's state groups
- Other performance and stability improvements
2.25.1 Aug 4

- Generator TTS (VITS) accepts default options, and Generator LLM (ONNX) multimodal inference accepts batches of string prompts
- RichText custom fonts work in any inline declaration order, and Chart option overrides no longer alter source data
- Configs with deleted Subspaces or null map entries load safely, and removed Camera/WebView Bricks no longer receive later Actions

- MCP getDocumentation includes Brick Properties and Event/Action property details
2.24.13 Jul 22
v2.24.12
Features:
- Text Brick adds independent top, left, right, and bottom padding
- PROPERTY_BANK_EXPRESSION supports statement bodies and top-level await
- Data-node Events expose the triggering value as DATA_VALUE for connected Actions
Bug fixes:
- Data Bank update/remove Actions safely fetch missing data; Property Bank resets persisted values when the configured initial value changes, and its manual calculations use earlier updates in order
- Generator HTTP preserves explicit empty, false, or zero bodies and zero timeouts; HTTP Server handles bodyless multipart requests and non-text SSE responses
- TCP and TCP Server frame decoded base64 correctly; WebRTC Message Events carry the actual payload and no longer lose early connection candidates
- Text Input CLEAR and ON_FULL_FILL, SVG style/color mapping, multi-clip Video repeat, and Slideshow reset auto-advance now behave correctly
- Realtime Transcription ON_END retains final results, OuteTTS v2 reads numbers and special words correctly, and LLM parsing keeps valid tool calls beside malformed null entries
- Automation waits for Bricks still mounting at startup and respects active switch/state-group pressability; stopped Sound Player loads no longer start later
- Iterator stops cleanly on empty numeric ranges, WebCrawler leaves missing attributes unset, and Information SHOW reports an error instead of hanging when content is missing
