Lantronix develops SDK for Matchport range

This release layers upon the company's Matchport AR SDK released in March, by incorporating wireless support for its secure, embedded wireless networking module, Matchport b/g Pro.

The SDK allows customers to seamlessly add wired and wireless network connectivity into devices, making them accessible and manageable via the internet.

The Matchport SDK adds comprehensive support for 802.11 technology, including the ability to monitor the status, signal strength and connection type of existing wireless local area networks (WLANs).

It also features active scanning for available access points and the capability to configure multiple WLAN profiles.

Suitable for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and systems designers, this SDK accelerates a product's time to market.

In addition, the SDK grants access to the Evolution application programming interface (API), which allows developers to customise and enhance the Lantronix Evolution operating system (OS) for their applications.

Evolution OS is Lantronix's network operating system for device servers, and incorporates open standards, extensible technologies and enterprise-grade networking security.

Codesourcery's Sourcery G++, a complete GNU-based development ecosystem and a trial version of the Eclipse 61652-based IDE (integrated developer environment) are also included in the kit.

The integration of these advanced programming tools with the SDK offers developers a flexible, inexpensive and sophisticated way to create applications for Matchport b/g Pro and Matchport AR.
