SANTA ANA, CA — (Marketwired) — 09/25/13 — , a global leader in wired and wireless networking solutions, today announced the release of the software development kit (SDK). By using the SX-580 module as a development platform in conjunction with the new SDK, engineers can develop custom application features for embedded devices. The new SDK supports a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n wireless connection and full, industry-leading security including WPA, WPA2, and WEP plus 802.1x authentication with the most commonly used EAP types.
“We saw the demand for developing proprietary custom software programs for applications, so we expanded our portfolio to provide an SDK for our OEM customers,” said Keith Sugawara, vice president of business development at Silex America. “With the Linux-based kit, engineers can integrate and build their own custom applications, while getting the full benefit of Silex-s WLAN connectivity solution.”
A proven, dual-band programmable 802.11n wireless embedded module, the SX-580 gives engineers robust and secure 802.11 wireless functionality. Based on Qualcomm Atheros AR6003, the module offers reduced power consumption, and serial- or Ethernet-to-Wi-Fi capability. Together with the new SDK, users can easily and specifically program the module-s Linux operating system to meet the exact demands of their applications.
Available UART, Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C and GPIO interfaces
Extended 32MB flash
TFTP (U-Boot) firmware updates
The kit includes a hardware development platform which includes the SX-580-6900 evaluation board. It is equipped with an RJ-45 Ethernet connector, three serial connectors, a USB connector, SPI and I2C interface, an I/ O AC adapter, and a wireless LAN antenna. A full set of software and hardware design documentation along with a complete Linux development environment with sample applications is also provided.
The SX-580-2700-SDK is available immediately and is priced at $449 MSRP. For more information, visit silexamerica.com, or contact .
