62 Using the LonTalk Interface Developer Utility
• project .xif
• project .xfb
These files form the FTXL application framework, which defines the FTXL device
initialization data and self-identification data for use in initialization phase,
including communication parameters and everything you need to begin device
development. The framework includes ANSI C type definitions for network
variable and configuration property types used with the application, and
implements them as global application variables.
To include these files in your application, include the FtxlDev.h file in your FTXL
application using an ANSI C #include statement, and add the FtxlDev.c file to
your project so that it can be compiled and linked.
The following sections describe the copied and generated files.
Copied Files
The LonTalk Interface Developer utility copies the following files into your
project directory if no file with the same name already exists:
• FtxlApi.h
• FtxlHal.c
• FtxlHal.h
• FtxlHandlers.c
• FtxlNvdFlashDirect.c
• FtxlNvdFlashFs.c
• FtxlNvdUserDefined.c
• FtxlOsal.c
• FtxlOsal.h
• FtxlTypes.h
• libFtxl100.a
• LonPlatform.h
Existing files with the same name, even if they are not write-protected, are not
overwritten by the utility.
Other than FtxlDev.h, you do not normally have to explicitly include any of the
header files with your application source, because the FtxlDev.h file already
includes the required files.
You must ensure that the libFtxl100.a library and the various C files are
available to your project so that they can be compiled and linked with your
application.
LonNvTypes.h and LonCpTypes.h
The LonNvTypes.h file defines network variable types, and includes type
definitions for standard or user network variable types (SNVTs or UNVTs). See
Using Types on page 64 for more information on the generated types.
