LonTalk Stack application
An application for a L ON W ORKS device based on the LonTalk API and
Echelon Smart Transceiver or Neuron Chip.
LonTalk Stack
Software required todevelop high-performance LonTalk applications for a
host processor with an Echelon Smart Transceiver or Neuron Chip. The
LonTalk Stack includes a simple host application programming interface
(API), a complete ISO/IEC 14908-1 protocol stack implementation, a
link-layer driver, a simple hardware interface, and comprehensive tool
support.

A Neuron C application that is used to define the network interface for an
FTXL or ShortStack application.
N
Neuron C
A programming language based on ANSI C with extensions for control
network communication, I/O, and event-driven programming; also used for
defining a network interface when used for a model file.
U
uplink
