Proven Software Solutions, an independent broker for embedded software, has launched a tested C++ object-oriented IP platform that provides an application framework for managing tasks such as general purpose input/output, protocol handling, event handling and logging services in a broad range of network-based application systems.

Proven and tested through its deployment in telecoms management network element systems, the Element Control Software Platform (ECSP) can be equally well deployed in any network-based systems requiring real-time supervisory, control or data acquisition facilities such as in industrial control, security (CCTV) and metering, said the company.

The ECSP has been proven to work on the Freescale MPC750 PowerPC boards and the Intel 80x86 architectures.  It runs on the QNX RTOS and communicates using the QNX QNET messaging system but has also been developed to run on Linux and Solaris and so can communicate using any socket like TCP/IP. The ECSP provides a CORBA interface to users.

The platform includes a Virtual Hardware Layer which insulates everything in both directions and makes the hardware layer underneath look as the layer above expects. This means that the user can focus on setting up the events needed for the end system. It is event or timing driven and consequently uses less resources and power than a system that continuously interrogates the network elements.

It is supplied by Proven Software Solutions as portable, fully documented source code which can be modified and retuned by the user.
