Preface
Purpose of Document
This document describes the protocol software toolkit for the Freeway server and
embedded intelligent communications processor (ICP) environments, and discusses
the issues involved in developing software that executes in either of these environments.
It also provides information on client application programs and the host/ICP interface.
Note
The Protocol Toolkit is designed to be used either with a Freeway
server or an embedded ICP using DLITE. For the embedded ICP,
also refer to the user guide for your ICP and operating system (for
example, the ICP2432 User Guide for Windows NT).
Intended Audience
This document should be read by programmers who are developing code to be down-
loaded to the ICP2424, ICP2432, or ICP6000. You should be familiar with your client
system’s operating system and with program development in a real-time environment.
Familiarity with the C programming language and Motorola 68xxx assembly language
is helpful.
Required Equipment
You must have the following equipment to use the protocol software toolkit to develop
and test communications applications:
