Echelon LonTal Stack - Manual (Page 26)

14 Introduction to the LonTalk Stack
Task Additional Considerations Reference
Develop a LonTalk Stack
serial driver for your host
processor that manages the
handshaking and data
transfers between the host
processor and the Echelon
Smart Transceiver or
Neuron Chip.
Chapter 5, Creating
a LonTalk Stack
Serial Driver
Select a microprocessor,
microcontroller, or
embedded processor.
The LonTalk Stack application runs
on any microprocessor,
microcontroller, or embedded
processor. You must meet the
LonTalk Stack hardware and software
requirements to ensure that the
LonTalk Stack device has sufficient
RAM and non-volatile memory.
Integrate the LonTalk Stack
application with your device
hardware
You integrate the Echelon Smart
Transceiver or Neuron Chip with the
device hardware. You can reuse many
parts of a hardware design for
different applications to create
different LonTalk Stack devices.
Test and verify your
hardware design
You must ensure that the host
processor and the Echelon Smart
Transceiver or Neuron Chip can
communicate using the serial
interface.
Select and define the
functional profiles and
resource types for your
device using tools such as
the NodeBuilder Resource
Editor and the SNVT and
SCPT Master List
You must select profiles and types for
use in the device’s interoperable
interface for each application that you
plan to implement. This selection can
include the definition of user-defined
types for network variables,
configuration properties or functional
profiles. A large set of standard
definitions is also available and is
sufficient for many applications.
