A Component is a reusable module that can be incorporated into other applications in the form of libraries, modules, etc. The Intel Atom Developer Program provides a unique catalog of reusable components can help speed up application development and provide component developers with an additional way to make money.

Build and Sell Components

As a member of the Intel Atom Developer Program, you can build and sell application components through the Developer Catalog  in exchange for a % share of revenue from every application sold that uses their component. When a developer uses your component in an application, you can receive a portion of their application revenue. The amount of the revenue sharing agreement is negotiated between the component and application developers. At present components that can be used by developers writing Windows* applications for Intel AppUp Center are eligible for the Developer Catalog. Components submitted should be compiled in binary in formats like .dll ( dynamic link libraries), .lib (C, C++ runtime libraries), .OCX (ocx control libraries).

Find Components

You can accelerate your development with application components available in the Developer Catalog. Search the Catalog for components that you can potentially integrate into your own applications, such as GPS. The Catalog describes each component and any cost for using the component, plus it offers reviews from other developers who have used the component. Each component includes its own API and documentation. To compensate component developers, you pay a share of the price of your application to the component developer. This is called a Revenue Share.
