Welcome to Linux Automation GmbH lxa-iobus-server’s documentation!

This packages provides a daemon which interfaces IOBus-devices from Linux Automation GmbH with test-automation tools like labgrid. IOBus is a CANopen-inspired communications protocol on top of CAN.

This packages provides the following features:

• lxa-iobus-server: This is the central daemon that manages the nodes on the bus. It provides a (human-readable) web interface and a REST API for remote control of the nodes. It also updates the firmware running on the devices on the bus.

• The most recent firmware for all available IOBus devices.
