As we are getting several new participants to the mailing list, I thought I'd send a quick e-mail to let the group know what is ongoing. I'll try to update this thread as things change.
C++ Gordon Waidhofer is working on a C++ library. He's got al alpha quality library, but the following things remain: XML marshalling, structured vendor extension support. Perl John Hogerhuis has released a nearly complete Perl library. This library is great for starting with LLRP. If you are building quick testing tools for LLRP, this can't be beat. You can create an LLRP message using XML and the library can serialize and de-serialize these to LLRP binary. He has the following remaining: structured vendor extensions Java There is a great Java library available from Joe Hoag that almost fits the architecture we have defined. A discussion on the list has revealed that Christian F. and Prasith G. are going to work together to bring this library in line with the architecture. There is much work to be done, and two folks have already signed up and begun. .NET Someone has offered a .NET library to the toolkit, but not publicly to this mailing list so it is hard to keep track of its status. If you are interested in developing .NET libraries using the toolkit architecture, let me know. The other efforts in C++, Java, and Perl should give you a great head start. I apologize, this does sound very open-source. I don't want to scare people away from working on much needed .NET support, but I also don't want to divide the community's effort on .NET into two efforts. Testing A test framework for all the libraries that connect them through XML<->NativeObjects Lib 1<->LLRP Binary <-> NativeObjects Lib2 <-> XML and LLRPBinary<->NativeObjects<->XML<->NativeObjects<->LLRPBinary to provide qualification of every message. With this model, we can create millions of LLRP packets and literally test almost every valid LLRP packet. Other languages I am not aware of any ongoing development in other languages. If you have interest, feel free to make suggestions to the list. General Need a good document describing the toolkit architecture and the different library components I'd love to see one reader and one client application using the toolkit provided as part of the kit. Rifidi has already built and released a Beta Virtual LLRP reader simulator. I'm not sure what the client app could be, but I envision an LLRP based test tool, or an LLRP configuration wizard. Next steps: If you have an interest in any of this, or want to suggest something else, please join the mailing list and introduce yourself and your team to the group, expressing your interest.
