Further Reading

The REDHAWK manual explains the use of REDHAWK to build, deploy, and manage data streaming applications. The principal REDHAWK features are outlined in the following sections, and a reference to the corresponding REDHAWK documentation is provided for further reading.

References for Application Developers

The following chapters are particularly useful for application developers:

• Component development is introduced in Components. Greater detail related to component development is discussed in the following chapters:

  • Component Structure

  • Connections

  • Logging

• Waveforms, including a demonstration of creating a REDHAWK waveform and launching it as an application using the IDE, are discussed in-depth in Waveforms

• The sandbox, which is used to run components on a local host without any additional runtime infrastructure such as the Domain Manager, is described in-depth in Sandbox

References for System Developers

The following chapters are useful to system developers:

• Managing and interacting with hardware through Devices

• Devices and Device Managers make up individual nodes, which are used to deploy and manage devices in a REDHAWK system. Devices are used to determine whether or not a host can deploy any given component. Devices and Device Managers are discussed in-depth in Devices, Nodes, and The Runtime Environment.

• The Domain Manager and Device Manager are the foundation for The Runtime Environment for the deployment of distributed applications. Runtime Environment Inspection describes additional tooling.

• Services, are programs that provide some system-specific always-on software support to components. An example of a service is a web server.
