| + | \\ | ||
| + | In addition to the integration method using BioStar2 SW API or BioStar2 Device SDK, G-SDK is recently released as a new integration option for device management, user management, and log management. \\ | ||

| + | ** [Figure 1. G-SDK architecture] ** \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | G-SDK consists of Device Gateway in gRPC Server and gRPC Client Libraries. \\ | ||
| + | Based on gRPC, it supports many programming languages such as Java, C#, Python, Node.js, Go, etc.\\ | ||
| + | (gRPC (gRPC Remote Procedure Calls) is an open source remote procedure call (RPC) system initially developed at Google in 2015.) \\ | ||

| One of the biggest advantages of G-SDK compare to Device SDK is that it supports various languages. For the last years, Device SDK users have had difficulty using development language other than C++ or C# which is in the sample code. \\ | One of the biggest advantages of G-SDK compare to Device SDK is that it supports various languages. For the last years, Device SDK users have had difficulty using development language other than C++ or C# which is in the sample code. \\ | ||
| + | Since BioStar 2 Device SDK can communicate with C++ library, you have to use C++ language or need to marshall all the APIs and structures in the library into other languages. Currently BioStar 2 Device SDK provides only C# marshalling sample. \\ | ||
| + | This is a limitation of BioStar 2 Device SDK due to the structure. \\ | ||

| + | ==== What are the next features? ==== | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ** 1. Master Gateway ** \\ | ||
| + | G-SDK can support up to 1000 device connections with a Device gateway. \\ | ||
| + | Currently, Master gateway that will support up to 100,000 device connections is under development. \\ | ||
| + | Master Gateway helps you handle multiple Device gateways and it can be deployed on a cloud server or provide mobile direct accessibility too. \\ | ||

| + | ** [Figure 6. Device Gateway vs Master Gateway] ** \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ** 2. Advanced AC API ** \\ | ||
| + | G-SDK doesn't support advanced AC such as Zone, Wiegand or RS485 but it supports only simple configurations & features. \\ | ||
| + | In the future, G-SDK will support all the APIs that are supported in the BioStar 2 Device SDK : Zone, Wiegand, RS485, etc. \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ** 3. More language support samples ** \\ | ||
| + | G-SDK provides C#, Java, Python, Go and Node samples. Furthermore, G-SDK is planning to support Android, iOS, Ruby samples. \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Summary of G-SDK ==== | ||
| + | ** Supported OS ** \\ | ||
| + | Windows, x86/Arm Linux, Mac OS \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | ** Maximum number of devices ** \\ | ||
| + | Up to 1,000 \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
