Empower Your
Competitiveness for Faster Time-to-Market |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| The high reliability
and stability of Moxa's embedded computers give users an extra advantage
over the competition. To further empower our customers' competitiveness
for a faster time-to-market, Moxa is offering application developers a
valuable embedded software platform. Called Rcore, this platform brings
you the following benefits: |
|
| |
 |
Easy-to-use application libraries |
|
|
Proven
and bug-free sample code |
|
|
Fast
concept validation and development cycle |
|
| |
| According to the 2008 "Embedded
Systems Design Report" by Tech Insights, an embedded project takes an
average of 13.1 months to complete. As shown in the figure below, a
project cycle covers several phases, with each phase taking a certain
amount of time to complete. Moxa Rcore provides the ready-to-go software
components depicted by the color blocks. These components help
customers shorten the project cycle from the "Concept Exploration" phase
to the "Development" phase. |

Operating Systems |
|
| |
Moxa's x86 and ARM
embedded computers offer a powerful computing environment and stable
system for a variety of industrial applications. These computers use
either the Linux or Windows (CE and XP) embedded operating system to
provide programmers around the world with a user-friendly environment
for application development, and reduce the effort required for system
integration. In addition, Moxa is committed to developing products that
support real-time operating systems suitable for mission critical
applications. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Middleware |
|
| |
Moxa also offers a
variety of middleware to help you easily integrate these application
modules into your system. This is essential for leveraging the modules'
useful features and reducing the effort required for application
development.
The VPN (OpenVPN, L2TP, and IPSec) middleware makes it easy for user
applications to create secure tunnels between communication parties, and
the Firewall (iptable) middleware protects enterprise information from
un-friendly access. The Database system (MySQL and MSSQL) middleware can
be used to manage field-data acquisition, with Web Services (Web, PHP,
ASP) included to give programmers an integration framework for building
Internet accessible field applications, such as WebSCADA. |

Sample Code |
|
| |
To lower
customers' development cost, Moxa provides sample code for a wide range
of embedded applications, such as serial-to-Ethernet (S2E),
serial-to-serial (S2S), and Modbus TCP and RTU. This high-level sample
code or application libraries hide the details of implementing complex
data communication by presenting relatively simple function prototypes
for user applications. In addition, low-level libraries that manage
direct access to peripheral I/O devices, such as LCM, keypad, digital IO
signals, and watch dog functions, are also included. With ready access
to such a rich assortment of embedded applications, programmers obtain a
much greater flexibility than would otherwise be possible. These
libraries help programmers quickly grasp the full functionality of their
applications, and in this way gain the confidence needed to complete
their project, essentially speeding up product development and ensuring
that code is efficient and bug-free. |

Tools |
|
| |
Moxa provides a
Windows PC-based tool (MDM) that auto-detects, configures, and manages
Moxa's embedded computers in a LAN environment. This tool provides
features for setting IP addresses, managing files, monitoring memory
usage of computers, and helping application developers deploy their
programs en masse to a whole army of computers. |
