RAPIDSEA Development Suite

Embien – Accelerate Embedded Developments

RAPIDSEA – an acronym for Rapid Deployment Suite for Embedded Applications is an integrated product development platform offered by Embien. A collection of ANSI C based libraries, it is designed to reduce the time to market of embedded applications. It includes associated middleware such as TCP/IP stack, GSM/GPRS stack, USB Device and Host Stacks, Industrial protocol stacks, SNMP support etc. The flexible architecture of RAPIDSEA allows easy addition & customization of software modules that are available as a package.

With Embien’s Flint IDE, RAPIDSEA can be configured to the need of the users in a drag and drop approach in short possible time. It can also be used in conjunction with Sparklet embedded GUI library to create attractive graphical user interface for embedded applications. Apart from these, it also offers enhanced software functionality features for specific applications such as Data Acquisition, Vehicle Tracking and telemetry, Industrial HMI’s, Medical Instruments & Point of Sale Terminals.

Primary Components of RAPIDSEA

It has three primary components such as Data object database and custom logic, Platform configuration & Driver and Application module library. RAPIDSEA application development begins with defining data objects used in an application by utilizing its attributes. These data objects are assigned with unique data ID’s that can be used to refer codes in the future. Embien's Flint IDE provides a high level script programming interface that assists programmers with no knowledge of C Language to program logics for RAPIDSEA.

The Platform configuration of RAPIDSEA contains all the primary information required to configure the underlying hardware. Pins used for various interfaces such as Expansion Connector, Debug Port, Ethernet port etc are specified with respect to the driver modules. The Platform Editor available in Flint IDE offers a graphical representation of various pins and ports available in the physical platform. Users can select various multiplexed functionalities from the combo box.

RAPIDSEA also has a rich collection of driver and application modules that include I2C, SPI, EEPROM, UART, Ethernet, USD Device, USB Host etc. These modules are highly configurable and are tested for complete functionality.
