We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "API (application programming interface)",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Design kit cuts through the black art of RF from
Cyan Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "RF-Solved is an easy-to-use design kit that simplifies ISM band radio applications".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release API streamlines 2D graphics from
Imagination Technologies: "Implementing OpenVG using hardware acceleration enables OEMs to deliver smooth, high frame rate interactive performance at very low power levels".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Lantronix
concerning its MatchPort b/g Pro
- take a look at Wireless module secures sensitive communications
which says: "The MatchPort b/g Pro from Lantronix is claimed to be the industry's most secure embedded 802.11 b/g networking module".
Take a look also at the news release from Express Logic, RTOS stars in 16bit MCU benchmarks,
as well as MCU starter kit gains full USB stack from Renesas Technology Europe,
and Controller has universal appeal for IR remotes from Zilog.
