The SMT6025 SDK provides you with an easy and efficient way to access
Sundance carrier boards. It allows you to control these boards from the host as
well as to exchange data between the carrier board and the host. The
SMT6025 is ideal for customers that wish to develop their own code to interface
with Sundance hardware.

Figure 1 - The SMT6025 interfaces to Sundance hardware
Figure 1 - shows the SMT6025 forming the link between your application and the
Sundance carrier boards in your system. Having a standard interface such as
the SMT6025 ensures that you do not need to recompile and link your software
when the hardware in the system changes. The SMT6025 hides the details of
the device driver, allowing you to concentrate on the development process.
The SMT6025:
• Provides the host side support for 3L Diamond board services.
• Shorten development time by providing you with a ready-to-use interface to
the hardware.
• Transfer data between the carrier board and the host.
• Downloads applications to the carrier board.
• Obtains information about the carrier board.
• Controls the state of the carrier board.
