Express Logic, a provider of real-time operating systems (RTOS), has integrated Real-Time Logic’s Barracuda Embedded Web Server with its ThreadX RTOS and NetX TCP/IP Stack.
The companies claim that the joint technologies form a small footprint offering suitable for the remote connected devices needed in medical, industrial, military and consumer applications.
The companies said that the Barracuda Embedded Web Server software is used to create embedded graphical applications for remote management and supervision of in-the-field connected devices. It simplifies the development cycle for devices in need of remote management and/or supervision. The server’s plug-in architecture enables anything from simple device control to running an application server in a remote device.
According to the companies, the application server extends the ThreadX RTOS, enabling the user to manage applications running in any device. It is expected to deliver the following benefits: no need for installation of software on the PC/laptop to manage and supervise devices; a virtual machine plug-in to speed up development time and easily implemented security features and ready-to-use components such as an SSL library and advanced user authentication/authorisation. It provides web services support for SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON-RPC.
ThreadX is Express Logic’s royalty-free RTOS for demanding real-time applications. NetX is Express Logic’s IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack for real-time embedded systems.
William Lamie, president of Express Logic, said: “The addition of the Barracuda web server gives our ThreadX and NetX customers the additional functionality that makes their systems more powerful, flexible, and easier to use. Together we deliver a solution that meets today’s needs for internet connectivity and remote system management.”
