ESF puts a layer between the operating system and the customer application, simplifying the entire development process and adding quality, reliability and robustness to the software, said Arlen Nipper, President and CTO, Eurotech in North America. The latest release incorporates additional industry standard interfaces to shorten custom development time and simplify coding, debugging and even connecting to a network. OEMs and enterprises have more options in hardware running ESF so they can easily port their application to new and next generation platforms, ensuring a long lifecycle for their software.
Other new features included in ESF 1.4 include:
Interactive web server tools – New plug-ins for M2M applications – Oracle Java SE 1.6 Java Virtual Machine support
With these expanded features, developers effectively future-proof their applications to ensure new product specifications or ramped up production will be easy to manage by seamlessly porting an ESF-based application to new hardware.
With Eurotech ESF installed, the new Intel M2M wireless gateway reference design is one of the many Intel AtomT-based hardware platforms OEMs and enterprises can choose from to significantly shorten development cycles for machine-to-machine services.
