Embedded devices are increasingly connected to the Internet and called upon to communicate in meaningful ways with corporate IT servers. Allegro offers a number of products to aid your engineering team in building powerful connected embedded devices using industry standard communications protocols.
Web Services: Increasingly, device manufactures are faced with building complex communications technologies into their products. Allegro offers field proven products that enable your embedded device to efficiently communicate with corporate IT servers or other embedded devices utilizing a range of protocols and industry standard formats.
- HTTP: Allegro offers technology specifically built for the embedded market to deliver HTTP server capabilities. Used in over 20 million devices, RomPager is the industry’s leading OEM embedded Web Server in the market. Not far behind in distribution, RomWebClient provides powerful embedded HTTP client capabilities allowing your embedded device to query remote servers for the latest information.
- XML: Leverage 10+ man years of XML product development in your embedded design with the use of the RomXML toolkit. The RomXML addresses the primary need for embedded XML support by efficiently translating between pre-defined C-language structures and XML-based representations. When using in conjunction with the RomWebClient your embedded device can initiate XML-based request/response protocols such as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
Security / Authentication: Security is always a concern when connecting embedded devices to the internet. Efficiently add SSL/TLS and SSH to your designs with Allegro products. Used standalone or pre-integrated with the RomPager suite of products, the RomPager Secure and RomWebClient Secure offer secure SSL communications. The RomSShell offers your development team the power of SSH for their security designs. Either used standalone or pre-integrated with the RomCLI toolkit, RomSShell dramatically simplifies the implementation of security in your embedded design. User authentication can add an additional level of security to your embedded designs with the use of Allegro's RomRadius toolkit.
SMTP / POP: Expand the functionality and capability of your embedded design with the addition of embedded SMTP and POP capabilities. Many of the latest high tech designs capitalize on the ability to dynamically update after being deployed. RomMailer and RomPOP offer your embedded design this exact functionally enabling your embedded device to send and receive emails with attachments.
DNS / NTP: Network topologies, especially in the IT arena, are often complex. When deploying an embedded networked device, in some cases it is necessary to make use of a Domain Name Service (DNS) client. The RomDNS product allows your engineering team to dynamically determine IP addresses and server names from domain names. Additionally, some embedded devices have a need to synchronize their clocks to provide a level of functionality (e.g. certain data acquisition system tasks). The RomTime product allows your engineers to build field proven time synchronization capabilities into your embedded device.
