Allegro toolkits are robust, reliable and proven implementations of sophisticated embedded internet technology, designed to support a wide range of today's device management requirements. Allegro toolkits address support for specific management protocols and application functions in a modular form, with easy extension and adaptation to meet individual project
requirements. They are engineered for easy integration and combine a rich feature set with maximum compile time flexibility, high performance and a low memory footprint.

Allegro responds to differing market needs by delivering toolkit technology in two forms:

An “à-la-carte” technology menu approach of individual component toolkits, each supporting a specific function, but that are interrelated and interoperable, giving broad flexibility to the system developer in the choice of management features and functions that address the network management requirements of a specific design project. Allegro’s RomPager, RomCLI and RomMailer are examples of toolkits families that address this point solution technology requirement, yet support module to module integration within an overall design.

Integrated toolkit suites that provide sophisticated functionality in a self-contained form and support multiple protocol implementations that meet industry interoperability requirements, notably those related to UPnP and DLNA. Examples of these more complete suites are the RomPlug application toolkits for Integrated Gateways and for MediaServer with a complete application instance demonstrated by the Allegro Media Server.

These more sophisticated toolkits and applications are, of course, integrated and optimized assemblies of the basic component technologies. The structured approach to the products guarantees that the more advanced capabilities are build on proven foundations of fundamental technology that has been maintained and optimized over many generations of designs.

Toolkit Packaging

All Allegro products are engineered as an integrated set of ANSI-C compliant source code that has been compiled for a wide variety of CISC and RISC CPU architectures, including IA32, PowerPC, ARM, SPARC and MIPS. The architecture was designed from the ground up to support devices with ROM-based real-time run-time environments, in contrast to much of the available public domain code, which was originally targeted at resource rich, disk-based Unix environments. Using a precision engineered suite of embedded system products provides a number of advantages to networked product development teams:

The product will be ready for the marketplace sooner with less engineering risk than developing these capabilities from the ground up.

Allegro products incorporate the results of compatibility testing with all versions of the major browsers to insure a solid, protocol-compliant and artifice free implementation of Web interface functionality.

Ongoing support for new browser revisions and the new versions of the evolving HTTP/HTML specifications is provided by Allegro as a part of the support for its product. As the development team moves from version to version within a product family, the development code base can be updated to reflect improvements in performance, functionality and compatibility with minimal re-integration risk.

All toolkits are offered under device friendly royalty free license terms.
