4.3 Backward Compatibility
This section describes the various aspects that HPI-B user should make a note while migrating
from HPI-B 02.01 based applications to HPI-B 03.02, or in using the HPI-B 02.01 applications
with the HPI-B 03.02 daemon. The following points could impact existing HPI-B client
applications.
 Some management instruments and resources that were mandatory in SAIM-HPI-
B.01.01-ATCA are either made optional or removed in the latest specification.
 Some of the RDR data has been modified to better describe the management instruments
in this specification. This modification includes changing entity paths, sensor types, and
control output types on various management instruments. HPI-B user applications
compliant to HPI-B 02.01 specification will receive data as per the B03.02 xTCA mapping
specification. These applications need to be modified to interpret the data correctly.
 The symbolic names of all defined values are changed. A user program compiled with
previous header files should still be usable with HPI library implementations that are built
using the new symbols defined in this specification. We have taken care of this part by back
porting the Xtca prefix to Atca Prefix.
Following table describes the backward compatibility:
It is recommended for the user to note the differences in the specification and then modify
the client applications suitably.
