Technology Portfolio

Xylanta staff have expertise with a number of different technologies, mainly based on Free and Open Source Software that are used in both our product and consulting work as part of the overall solutions.

Lua

Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports several programming styles: procedural, object-oriented, functional, data-driven, and data description. It is widely used in many industrial applications (e.g., Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom), with an emphasis on embedded systems and games (e.g., World of Warcraft and Angry Birds) and is currently the leading game scripting language.

Xylanta have been using Lua in its own products for nearly 20 years for both host based and in-device scripting. In that time we have built up considerable experience in implementing and applying Lua in numerous applications.

wxWidgets

wxWidgets is an Open Source cross platform application development framework that allows windowed applications to be developed for a wide range of target operating systems from one common code base.

We use wxWidgets for the development of our own applications and so are well placed to undertake customer developments. In-house we use both MicroSoft Visual Studio and MinGW for wxWidgets development.

GNU Tools

The GNU project has created numerous tools many of which have application in the development of embedded systems. The most notable of these are the GNU C Compiler collection (gcc etc), the GNU Debugger (gdb), binutils (linker and object file managers) and GNU make.

We have experience of configuring these tools particularly for cross-development work and can provide help with both building and installation.
