Sedona Framework™ Set for Release on August 4th

I am pleased to announce the Sedona Framework™ will be released on August 4th. sedona-powered-by-logo

The Sedona Framework is targeted specifically at embedded devices bringing intelligence and connectivity to the network edge and back, particularly products that today are not capable of running the Niagara Framework.

Sedona is intended for devices communicating over IP networks both in wired and wireless topologies.  The core technology behind the Sedona Framework will be available as open source through a dedicated developer's web site.  In addition, Tridium will market custom versions of Sedona, software tools, certification and support services, as well as hardware devices based on the Jennic wireless microcontroller.

This initial release is offered in three parts:

Open Source Sedona and Open Source Sedona Workbench Tool: available to anyone free via download from the Sedona developer's web site and includes access to the Sedona source code, a 30-day trial of the tool and certain documentation including tutorial, porting guide, language reference, and tips on NiagaraAX integration.

Sedona Framework 1.0 for the Jennic 5139 Microcontroller: the commercial hardware offering and consists of the following:

  • A Sedona Developer's Kit which includes a Sedona evaluation board that allows potential applications to be tried in a real hardware environment so that a developer can create simple applications, supply live data and activate representative outputs. 
     
  • Sedona-Jennic Modules that allow for rapid development of custom 802.15.4 wireless devices based on the 6LowPAN protocol. 
     
  • A Sedona-Jennic Wireless Card that enables Sedona-Jennic devices to communicate with a JACE.

Sedona Workbench: the programming tool for customers working exclusively with Sedona-based devices.  The Sedona Workbench will be sold separately.  If you are a Niagara Partner, Sedona programming is available as part of your Niagara Workbench at no extra charge.

On August 4, we will be sending you an announcement with more information and additional details.
