Linux

The CharacterDevice Driver was developed as a loadable module and is automatically loaded during the start up of the Linux operation. Following system calls are supported: open() / close() / read() / write() and ioctl(). Synchronous as well as asynchronous calls are possible. Asynchronous calls are acknowledged with SIGNAL mechanism. Synchronous calls can be executed in parallel through threads. Select() cannot be supported. OpenSUSE, SUSE Linux and RedHat (i.e. WS and Fedora) are supported; others on request.

All intelligent COMSOFT boards as well as the FNL and SNL2-E are supported.

• Board firmware: real time operating system and protocol driver
• Software tools for loading firmware onto the board/gateway
• Software tools for parameter assignment of the protocol drivers
• Executable test programs in C source code
