Sierra Wireless has released new version of M2M Studio, an integrated environment for the development of embedded machine-to-machine (M2M) software, to enable developers create, develop, compile, download, debug and test their applications.
According to Sierra Wireless, M2M Studio 1.1.1 offers a series of enhancements and additions, including a new software redistribution feature that enables developers to create their own embedded software plug-ins and make them accessible to other M2M Studio users. The M2M Studio source code is also made available for developers to customise and recompile.
The company said that the new release is compliant with Linux, allowing users to work on PC Linux platforms as well as Windows to build projects. It is built on Eclipse and is compatible with GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and HSPA embedded modules from Sierra Wireless.
In addition, the release includes new software to ease the installation of all Open AT Software Suite components, including M2M Studio. Other features include automatic notifications of software component updates, direct access to documentation through the help menu, warning pop-ups in case of incompatibility between software components and an improved launch configurations feature facilitating Segger JTAG usage, the company said.
Didier Dutronc, senior vice president of marketing at Sierra Wireless, said: Since its initial release in January 2009, M2M Studio has proved its appeal to developers of a wide range of innovative M2M applications, including home security systems, asset tracking devices, in-vehicle fleet management, smart utility meters, and fixed wireless telephones. This new release of M2M Studio enables even more creativity and freedom to users when developing and customising embedded software applications.
