IPm^™ Application Development Kit

SIXNET provides an IPm Application Development Kit (IADK for PPC-based units) or Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK for ARM-based), that enables you to write your own applications to run in an IPm Controller / RTU or managed switch. IPm applications can be developed in either Red Hat Linux (7.0 or higher) or Microsoft Windows running on an i386 platform. You then use the supplied cross-compiler to generate your applications to run on the PowerPC or ARM in an SIXNET device. A remote debugger is also provided to perform diagnostics from Linux. (A debugger is not currently available for Windows.)

The Windows IADK requires that the MSYS / MinGW emulation environment be installed first. These installs can be downloaded from www.mingw.org. (Note: With MSYS and MinGW, not all Linux capabilities are supported so it may not be suitable for porting or developing some applications. We recommend only using the Windows IADK when you are writing your own IPm applications from scratch or when making modifications to existing applications that are known to be compatible with this emulation environment.)
