Netanya ISRAEL — (press release) — Jungo Ltd. has released the beta version of a unique product which enables remote access to PCI/CompactPCI/USB/PCMCIA/ISA/ISA-PnP based hardware, through any network connection. The new technology is integrated into Jungo's “WinDriver” device driver development kit. That kit enables developers to benefit from the WinDriver advantages and features, while working on target hardware plugged into an embedded system or any other remote system. The package supports Linux, Windows, and several other OSes.

Using this new technology any target system hardware can be scanned, detected and tested from any remote location in the world. The device driver code can be then automatically generated for the target hardware and remote debugging capabilities allow concluding the device driver development for the target hardware.

This new technology provides benefits to the following markets:

Driver Developers

• Remote Driver Debugging — drivers can now be debugged, step by step, even when the hardware is located at the customer's site.
  
• Embedded systems driver development — when developing drivers for a “headless” embedded system, the remote agent enables diagnostics and code generation for the hardware through the network.
  
• Remote Development — device driver developers can use the Remote Access Technology to write drivers for hardware which is located in a different geographical region.

Hardware Vendors

• Electronic Support — use the Remote Access Technology to provide hardware support and diagnostics over the web.

Enterprise Management

• Hardware Inventory — The graphical user interface can be used to monitor all hardware devices in the organization, providing a convenient hardware inventory solution.
  
• System Administration — solve problems, such as matching drivers to hardware, remotely.

A 30-day free trial version of Remote WinDriver is available for download, here
