What is the difference between the EADK and the EIPA?
EADK includes the complete portable ‘C’ stack source code for cross-platform development, along with 32 and 64bit DLLs for PC /Windows targets with the ability to build the source and DLLs. Compared to EIPA, which only includes pre-built 32 and 64 bit DLLs specifically for PC/Windows targets.
Does EADK provide Scanner functionality?
No, EADK supports full Adapter functionality, with the ability to originate (at as a Client for) unconnected explicit messaging only.
Does EADK come with a TCP/IP stack?
No, you will need to provide a Berkeley Sockets compatible TCP/IP Stack.
Does EADK come with an RTOS?
No, you will need to provide the RTOS or the EADK stack can be used in a non-OS environment e.g. a timer tick driven environment.
Does EADK provide a real-time environment that works with Windows?
No, it runs on Windows and is subject to the performance of the PC, as Windows is not a real-time operating system (RTOS). That said, the performance of the EADK DLL meets the requirements of most applications.
