IrPro SDK

IrPro SDK is a complete IrDA-Data infrared communications application software development kit (SDK) designed for Embedded systems.

 

 

Our kit provides you with all the tools and software you will need to develop and test your IrDA-Data protocol application on your target CPU. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The listed CPU's have been integrated and tested in our test lab and are being used by Embednet customers. Integration support and device drivers are supplied at no additional cost. IrPro is CPU independent and can be ported to any practical CPU and ANSI C compiler combination.

IrPro supports an IrDA compliant client and/or server protocol stack which operates at speeds from 9.6 Kbps to the IrDA specified maximum data rate. IrPro is used to enable point to point infrared communications for portable devices.

 

IrPro technology was introduced in 1998 and was designed to meet the uncompromising demands of the embedded systems market. As such, it is: proven and mature technology, compact, dependable, portable, and easy to configure.

 

EMBEDnet practices strict quality control standards compliant with ISO 9001 quality management systems standards.

 

IrPro technology has been licensed to several hundred companies spanning the entire globe. IrPro is being used in smart phones, PDA, digital cameras, palm-top computers, hand held devices, medical devices, printers, storage devices, pagers, watches, data collection devices and more. Review the embednet  web sight to find out how IrPro technology will make your IrDA requirements a reality.

 

The standard IrPro SDK comes with client and/or server software protocol stacks which support:

• IrLAP

• IrLMP

• IAS

• IrPNP

• IrLPT

• TinyTP

• IrCOMM 3-wire raw

• IrLPT.

Optional client and server based protocols available are:

• OBEX

• IrCOMM 3/9 wire,

• IrMC,

• IrTran-p,

• IrLan,

• Ultra

• IrFM.

 

IrPro also comes with a framer and device driver for preconfigured CPU's.

With "the time-to-market pressures that squeeze development schedules…" Embedded Systems Programming Magazine "…suggest(s) that buying – not building – is a Good Idea." The IrPro IrDA protocol stack offers a lower cost alternative to the competitors higher priced products without sacrificing quality. And with its non-royalty based pricing schedule, IrPro is the key to interoperability for portable devices.
