Within a single interface, Rhapsody provides access to streaming music, Internet radio and extensive music information and  3.0

I-Logix Inc. and Allegro Software Development Corporation today jointly announced a development and distribution agreement whereby Allegro Software Development will integrate the RomPager(R) Embedded Web Server Web server software embedded within a hardware device such as a print server. It is widely used in a myriad of devices, because it allows access to the software via any Web browser, typically for configuring the device or obtaining reports. See ETI and Web server.  with I-Logix' Rhapsody(R), a UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s.  visual applications development platform for embedded applications.

Under the agreement, I-Logix will offer a free version of RomPager to their customers so that they can easily integrate and test the implementation of a Web server into the design. Sales and support of RomPager products will be handled by Allegro Software Development Corporation.

"I-Logix was one of the first embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed.  solutions companies to make translating concept to code a reality," said Allegro Software Development President Bob Van Andel. "With this agreement we will be working closely with I-Logix to help our respective customers shorten their design and implementation processes in building Internet connected devices. We are committed to working with I-Logix to provide embedded developers with a complete UML-Based environment to rapidly web-enable their applications."

The Allegro RomPager toolkit is a set of development tools and sources to create the finest embedded Web server for intelligent devices. It can be used for any device with a network interface making that device accessible to Web browsers The following is a list of web browsers. Historical

. RomPager includes an embedded HTTP server An embedded HTTP server is a component of a software system that implements the HTTP protocol. Examples of usage within an application might be:
  • To provide a thin-client interface for a traditional application.
 that is compatible with all standard browsers including Internet Explorer Microsoft's Web browser, which comes with Windows starting with Windows 98. Commonly called "IE," versions for Mac and Unix are also available. Internet Explorer is the most widely used Web browser on the market. It has also been the browser engine in AOL's Internet access software. , Netscape Navigator An earlier Web browser for Windows, Macintosh and X Windows from Netscape that provided secure transmission over the Internet. Soon after its introduction in 1994, Navigator, or just "Netscape," as it was commonly called, quickly became the leading browser on the Web.  or Communicator, Hot Java, and Mosaic, on all platforms, allowing any network-connected browser user to easily access and control the device.

The Rhapsody/ROMPager integration will allow developers of real-time embedded applications to quickly build Internet enabled applications. The RomPager can be simply plugged into a real-time embedded design with Rhapsody, with the click of a button. The result of this technology insertion will dramatically change how software developers internet-enable their applications.

Other Allegro agents such as RomMailer and RomPop can also be plugged into Rhapsody designs allowing embedded applications to receive and send email. This integration dramatically improves time-to-market issues with delivering Internet enabled applications.

The RomPager Web server has been ported to all leading embedded kernels and realtime operating systems (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. ). Support for most kernels is included with the toolkit. If the device or application does not require the support provided by a RTOS, the RomPager Web server can still be easily integrated with your embedded application.

"With our `get connected' initiative we are providing innovative solutions to help embedded developers meet the tough time-to-market pressures they face in today's pervasive computing Refers to the use of computers in everyday life, including PDAs, smartphones and other mobile devices. It also refers to computers contained in commonplace objects such as cars and appliances and implies that people are unaware of their presence.  market," said Neeraj Chandra, senior vice president of Marketing and Corporate Development for I-Logix. "By partnering with Allegro and integrating RomPager for free, we are providing our customers the opportunity to prove a design before they move to the target environment, all using one of the most popular embedded Web servers on the market today."
