1.10.1 ODP (OPEN DEVELOPERS PLATFORM) OVER RS-232

This device includes the Open Developers Platform (ODP), which permits customers to develop their own Linux based

applications which run on the modem’s ARM9 (AT91RM9200) processor. The customer’s application can utilize the external

RS-232 port, and or an internal 3 pin (GND, RXD, TXD) RS-232 port and is able to transfer data over the cellular WAN using

the linux socket libraries. The Vanguard SC firmware also supports an API that allows the customer’s application to access

diagnostic data from the cell module such as connection status and RSSI. More information and support is provided by

CalAmp’s Applications Engineering organization.
