Echelon i.LON SmartServer 2.0 - Manual (Page 8)

viii Preface
Preface
You can use i.LON SmartServer 2.0 Programming Tools to create custom embedded
applications and drivers, which are referred to as freely programmable modules (FPMs),
for your SmartServer. FPMs let you customize the embedded software of the
SmartServer to meet your specific needs. Using i.LON SmartServer 2.0 Programming
Tools, you can write FPMs in C or C++, compile them, and then upload them to your
SmartServer. You can then deploy your FPMs on SmartServers that have an FPM
programming license installed on them. You can also create FPM application licenses
and use them to protect your FPM applications and make them available to customers for
order.
