GainSpan＇s SDK-Builder to create custom Wi-Fi solutions

Published:2012/3/16 1:00:00 Author:Ecco From:SeekIC

The GainSpan Corporation today pushes SDK-Builder which is a web-based tool. And it enables developers to select Wi-Fi features and build custom binary for their embedded devices with no IDE tool chain. SDK-Builder, the first such tool for the embedded Wi-Fi market, reduces development cost for companies designing connected devices based on GainSpan’s Wi-Fi modules.

SDK-Builder provides a baseline default configuration (essential wireless stack features, WPA/WPA-2 personal security and networking services)，and then lets developers choose the additional software features and functionalities by selecting them on a menu. And it eliminates the need to use pre-built firmware binary images, but rather allows users to create custom firmware binary images on-demand tailored to their applications. The features of SDK-Builder include host interfaces, security, provisioning methods, application layer protocols, and over-the-air firmware upgrade, using external flash and other test modes.

SDK-Builder can be used with GainSpan’s family of certified Wi-Fi modules: the GS1500M is a leading-edge 802.11b/g/n solution, while the GS1011M is an ultra-low power 802.11b solution, and it is ideal for battery operated devices. What’s more, SDK-Builder provides developers with built-in intelligence to eliminate invalid code combinations, a real time binary file size indicator to show total memory usage, and error alerts when memory limits are exceeded.
