A software framework is designed to offer developers more options with an integrated hardware and software infrastructure. Eurotech has launched release 1.4 of its Everyware Software Framework. ESF 1.4 provides a new Web GUI configuration application that manages the networking interfaces such as cellular or Wi-Fi. It offers the connectivity and security required for machine-to-machine and embedded solutions. Along with the configuration capabilities, the ability to run ESF on different hardware systems means developers who write applications on the ESF framework can do so as quickly as possible, while future-proofing their development.

The latest release incorporates additional industry standard interfaces to shorten custom development time and simplify coding, debugging, and even connecting to a network, according to the company. Other features included in ESF 1.4 include interactive Web server tools, new plug-ins for M2M applications, and Oracle Java SE 1.6 Java Virtual Machine support.

Eurotech says that with ESF installed, the new Intel M2M wireless gateway reference design is one of the many Intel Atom-based hardware platforms OEMs and enterprises can choose from to significantly shorten development cycles for machine-to-machine services.
