Eurotech Group, a supplier of embedded technologies, products, and systems, has launched Everyware Software Framework (ESF) on Intel Atom-based embedded platforms. ESF offers open source developer tooling based on the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Java Micro Edition Virtual Machine.
The company claimed that Eurotech systems loaded with ESF give OEMs a flexible and portable Java-based development environment that makes application creation quick and easy.
Arlen Nipper, president and CTO of Eurotech, said: Eurotech has always understood that quick time-to-market is as critical as power consumption and performance in the embedded space. With ESF on Intel Atom solutions, we bring these traits to the next level. ESF delivers everything from the hardware to the operating system to middleware components via Java bundles. OEMs simply have to develop their end applications on top of these bundles.
“Furthermore, because ESF is based on Java, our products can be easily ported across operating systems and Eurotech platforms, freeing developers from wasted time re-writing code.
Eurotech is initially offering ESF on low-power products based on the Intel Atom processor, including the Catalyst Module XL, Catalyst EC, ISIS, Proteus, and DuraCOR 1200/1400.
Eurotech designs and manufactures a range of embedded single board computers, application-ready platforms and configurable systems for customers who operate within the transportation, medical, communications, defense, security, and industrial industries.
