Cavera Technology Platform (CTP)

Cavera is a cross-platform C/C++ library framework abstracting complexities of network and communications programming. Unlike other general-purpose class libraries, the Cavera is specifically designed to meet requirements of high-performance, low footprint, real-time network and communication services and applications. Cavera allows developing flexible, carrier grade, efficient and reliable software running on multitude of operating systems including Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris and HP-UX with no code changes. The C libraries can be used for embedded systems programming (e.g. BlueCat, MontaVista, µCLinux), VxWorks, Windows Mobile and others).

Business benefits

• Reduce development and testing workload enabling shorter time-to-market cycle.
• Reduce risks: Cavera components are developed from the start for efficiency, performance, quality, reusability, scalability, security and flexibility.
• Decrease cost of post-project maintenance.

Applications

Cavera is targeted for building applications for:

• Data communications,
• Mobile applications,
• Protocol and service stacks,
• Data acquisition,
• Industrial control,
• Telemetry and remote monitoring,
• Location services.

Platform features

Cavera platform provides truly OS independent implementations of:

• Synchronization and events: mutex, event, timer, thread, shared memory and event demultiplexer objects.
• Real time (RT) features: RT signals and events.
• Communications interfaces: serial, USB, NMEA, TCP and SMTP.
• CORBA and COM frameworks.
• Data parsing: regular expressions, XML and general-purpose parser engine.
• Database: ODBC access.
• C/C++ runtime environment: mini C++ streams, fast string library and others.
• User interface: console interaction framework and embedded HTTP server with server-side scripting.
• Logging and tracing: C macro-based tracing library, C++ chained error implementation allowing root cause analysis without a slow exception stack.
• Advanced C data structures: FIFO and LIFO structures/queues, binary trees, name value pairs, value ranges and others.
• SNMP agent with MIT and attribute persistence.
• Abstract file system: OS independent access to files and directories.
• Property-based configuration files.
• Service/deamon wrappers.
• Advanced and easy to use system.
• Unicode support.
