Allegro’s range of UPnP toolkits address some of the most complex and comprehensive requirements of device and network self configuration in home and commercial networks. Empower your engineering team with the field tested and proven capabilities of Allegro’s UPnP / DLNA product suite.

RomPlug Toolkits: Allegro’s RomPlug suite of development toolkits offer your engineering team flexible and robust tools to build state of the art UPnP and DLNA enabled consumer electronics and mobile devices. Your engineers will save time and money with Allegro’s proven and stable implementations of industry standard protocols that comprise the UPnP and DLNA architecture. Allegro’s RomPlug Basic, Advanced and Control toolkits all meet the latest interoperability guidelines and are field proven in shipping products as well as ongoing industry interoperability plug fests.

Application Toolkits:
Allegro offers four Application Toolkits to further assist your engineering team in building a certifiable UPnP or DLNA device. Each toolkit provides a specific implementation of the UPnP services for an Internet Gateway Device (IGD toolkit), a Media Renderer device (MediaRender toolkit), a Media Server device (MediaServe toolkit) or a Media Controller (MediaControl toolkit) as specified by the UPnP Forum Device Control Protocol (DCP) specifications.

RomPlug IGD Application Toolkit:
Your engineering team will speed their development of an UPnP Internet Gateway Device by utilizing the functionality provided in the IGD Application Toolkit. The application toolkit build upon the RomPlug foundation to give your development engineers a working framework to build UPnP certifiable custom Internet Gateway Devices.

RomPlug Media Renderer Toolkit:
When using the RomPlug Media Renderer Toolkit your development team will save time and money creating a Media Renderer device. Your team will leverage the functionality of the toolkit without becoming an expert on the details of the complex, underlying UPnP protocol or the XML-based message formats. The toolkit handles many implementation details for each of the layers of the UPnP MediaRenderer. For example, the toolkit serves device and service descriptions without any interaction with the device application. Event subscriptions are initiated and renewed without interaction with the application. When service state variables change, event messages are transmitted to control points, transparent to the application. Many actions that can be invoked by control points are intercepted by the toolkit code and responses are returned without activating any application code. To provide service for those device-specific actions that the toolkit cannot complete without application support, the application developer implements functions that process the input arguments and return output results without any knowledge of the underlying XML request and response formats.

RomPlug Media Server Toolkit:
Media Servers play a vital role in the UPnP / DLNA architecture. The RomPlug Media Server Toolkit provides all the necessary technology for your engineering team to build a DLNA or UPnP certifiable Media Server. Using this toolkit, a developer can create a Media Server device without becoming an expert on the details of the complex, underlying UPnP protocol or the XML-based message formats. The toolkit handles many implementation details for each of the layers of the UPnP Media Server yet offers your developers full capability to build custom products that offer market differentiation for your embedded device.

RomPlug Media Controller Toolkit:
Using the RomPlug Media Controller toolkit your developers can create DLNA and UPnP certifiable Media Controllers without becoming an expert on the details of the complex, underlying UPnP protocol or the XML-based message formats. The code provided in the toolkit handles many implementation details for the UPnP Media Controller. Your developers have full capabilities to implement custom product features giving your product a competitive edge in the market.
