FTXL Hardware Overview
and functions with the LonTalk Compact API, so that it is possible to migrate a
ShortStack™ device to use an FTXL Transceiver.
An FTXL host program uses an embedded operating system (generally, a real-
time operating system (RTOS)) for intra-processor communications and task
management. In addition to the LonTalk API, the FTXL Developer’s Kit provides
an operating system abstraction layer (OSAL) so that your host program can use
any RTOS that meets your system’s requirements. The example programs that
are included with the FTXL Developer’s Kit use the Micrium μC/OS-II operating
system.

FTXL User’s Guide

FTXL device.
