The Evolution OS Software Development Kit (SDK) allows MatchPort AR to be used as a powerful 32bit computing platform with extensive networking support.
It provides designers all the needed tools and APIs (application programming interface) to quickly and easily develop custom applications.
Along with access to Evolution's rich developer's API, Sourcery G++ includes an Eclipse-based IDE (integrated developer environment), Gnu C and C++ compilers, and a source- and assembly-level Gnu debugger running natively on Windows.
Customers gain the benefit of Lantronix technology heritage and more than four years of development work along with CodeSourcery's reputation for high-quality software.
"Our customers require a versatile development platform for the MatchPort AR that allows them to build new applications faster and easier, delivering a high return on investment", says Daryl R Miller, VP of Engineering for Lantronix.
"By joining forces with CodeSourcery in this development effort, we are able to offer our customers the ability to create quality, custom networking applications using familiar tools and build on our feature-rich device networking platforms".
"These advantages translate into a quicker time to market for our customers as they realise the maximum potential of the MatchPort AR".
"Sourcery G++ offers embedded developers a reliable, easy-to-use Gnu Toolchain with BDM debugging support", says Mark Mitchell, founder and Chief Sourcerer of CodeSourcery.
"We're proud to have been selected by Lantronix, a leading provider of embedded networking solutions, to be part of this new development kit".
"Sourcery G++ will help designers harness the power of Lantronix's MatchPort AR technology".
Developers can get started quickly by simply running the Windows installation program.
The Evolution OS SDK for MatchPort AR includes four components: the MatchPort AR with BDM (background debug module) connector, the Coldfire USB Multilink BDM interface module, a MatchPort AR demo board and CodeSourcery's Sourcery G++ (Professional and Personal Editions available).
Sourcery G++ Professional Edition includes unlimited technical support from CodeSourcery.
Developers can also take advantage of the Lantronix Support Forum.
This bulletin-board environment offers designers a centralised location to talk, ask questions, and share information on applications developed for the MatchPort AR.
Lantronix engineers will monitor and also contribute to the site.
MatchPort AR is a turnkey, application-ready programmable device server module that delivers highly-secure Ethernet connectivity and advanced web server capabilities.
The module runs on a 32bit processor with Evolution OS providing the highest levels of performance available in an embedded networking solution.
The MatchPort family (MatchPort b/g, MatchPort AR and MatchPort b/g Pro) are pin/form-factor compatible modules that allow OEMs to embed wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi networking into their products using a single PCB design.
