Installing the LonTalk Stack Developer’s Kit
To install the LonTalk Stack Developer’s Kit, perform the following steps:
1. Download and install the LonTalkStack200.exe file from the Echelon
Web site.
2. Follow the installation dialogs to install the LonTalk Stack Developer’s
Kit onto your computer.
In addition to the LonTalk Stack, the installation program also installs:
• L ON M ARK ® Resource Files
• NodeBuilder Resource Editor

automatically copies these files from the LonTalkStack\Templates folder into
your project folder, but does not overwrite existing files with the same names.
The following table lists the files included in the LonTalk host stack and LonTalk
API. Many of the files are also used by the FTXL Developer’s Kit and therefore
have an FTXL prefix in their name.
File Name Description
FtxlApi.h Function definitions for the LonTalk API

FtxlNvdUserDefined.c Functions for managing non-volatile data
