EBS announces
SDK for UPnP Certified Devices
San Francisco, CA - Embedded Systems Conference, March 29, 2004 |
|
|
EBS, Inc., an established provider of
embedded Internet software since 1987 and a
current member of the UPnP Forum, today
announced the release of the EBS Software
Development Kit for UPnP certified devices.
The small and robust SDK makes developing
UPnP enabled applications fast and easy.
UPnP architecture is an open networking
architecture that transparently enables
peer-to-peer networking, in addition to
control and data transfer among networked
devices in the home, office and public
spaces. The architecture enables UPnP
certified devices to discover and control
devices on a network, independent of
particular operating systems, programming
languages or physical network connections.
UPnP certification standards for such
devices are built upon proven simple
Internet standards and languages like TCP,
HTTP, and XML as set forth by the UPnP
Implementers Corporation.
EBS SDK for enabling UPnP certified
devices sits on EBS's porting layer
RTPlatform, which makes it independent of
the underlying operating system or kernel.
This gives developers the flexibility to
choose the best platform for their device
and still be confident that their products
will be able to interact with other UPnP
certified devices, regardless of their
platform. The EBS SDK is 100% ANSI-C, easy
to implement, lightweight, and can run in
single thread or multi-thread mode.
"We are excited to offer our small footprint
UPnP stack designed to run on any embedded
platform," said Vikram Malaiya, UPnP product
manager for EBS Inc. "With UPnP providing
devices with a method to seamlessly connect
and communicate, we see UPnP enabled devices
and systems to be an integral part of the
digital age. We expect EBS to emerge as a
leader in providing UPnP solutions to the
embedded system industry."
The EBS SDK for UPnP certified devices
is available now. For pricing please call or

About the UPnP
Forum
The UPnP Forum is a group of companies and
individuals across multiple industries that
intend to play a leading role in the
authoring of specifications for UPnP
devices and services. Formed in June 1999,
the Forum is a non-profit association of
more than 600 consumer electronics,
computing, home automation, home security,
appliances, printing, photography, computer
networking, mobile products and other
leading companies working together in an
open process to design schema and protocol
standards for the UPnP initiative.
The goals of the Forum are to allow devices
to connect seamlessly and to simplify the
implementation of networks in the home and
corporate environments. The Forum will
achieve this by defining and publishing
UPnP device control protocols built upon
open, Internet-based communication
standards. More information is available at
