Regulatory News:
Wavecom S.A. (Paris:AVM) (NASDAQ:WVCM) (ISIN:FR0000073066) today
announced the availability of the Open AT(R) Lua Plug-In specifically
targeting developers of smart, connected devices who chose to use an
interpreted programming environments.
Developers of communicating machines need to have all of the tools
available today to create, test and explore new methods of applying
wireless connectivity in ways that make everyday life easier. To
facilitate this process, Wavecom is now offering developers access to
Lua - one of the fastest scripting language to develop with - free of
charge, including source code delivery under the terms of the MIT
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) open-source license.
Complementing the Open AT(R) software environment, Lua is
particularly applicable for rapid embedded application development and
prototyping. It is well-known for its ease of integration with C
language (C Binding). The intuitive, interpreted scripting language
will allow developers to write an application in literally minutes
compared to days using other programming languages. Lua was developed
in 1993 at the PUC - Pontifical Catholic University, Rio de Janeiro in
Brazil and has been used in thousands of applications encompassing an
installed base exceeding millions.
Philippe Guillemette, Wavecom CTO commented, "What makes this so
important is that people will naturally write their applications as a
mix of C and Lua. This means that for high level routines, one would
be using Lua while time critical processes would be written in C and
executed together with the legacy C coded applications. I believe this
combination offers the ultimate in term of performance and
productivity for the embedded world".
The move to offer Lua is the direct result of the feedback from
participants in Wavecom´s Developer Think Tank program. Wavecom
software teams have worked on finding ways to facilitate the
development task and at the same time allow applications to evolve.
This led to the Open AT(R) Lua Plug-In delivery free of charge in
open-source together with the creation of an Open AT(R) Lua-specific
wiki to bolster developer interest and facilitate experience sharing.
Using established standards like Lua should further open the world of
embedded applications for growth.
