To simplify the interaction between Linux world and Carberry, we have developed a Linux daemon that:

  • Starts on poweron.
  • Opens the serial port twards Carberry.
  • Exposes a TCP/IP server at port (7070) on localhost 127.0.0.1.
  • Allows multi client connection.
  • Dispatches events coming from Carberry to all clients connected.
