Software Development Environment

[Charle]

Dear Sir or Madam,

We are looking for a small and easy to program IPC for one of our test modules and stumbled across your Revolution PI.
As I have seen, a CAN Open and a DIO module are directly available. Which API are used to address them?
In addition, we may need a GPIB bus and an RS-232 interface (still to be clarified with the customer). Could these be connected via the USB port?
It is currently planned to develop the software in C ++. Probably the GNU compiler should be used here, right? Is it possible to develop the whole thing using a cross compiler on a Windows system and then transfer it to the Revolution PI? Is there already a development platform or corresponding documentation?
What additional software is required (e.g. for programming the CAN Open interface)?

Sincerely,.

Hi Charle, yes there are the Con CAN and the DIO module available. The Con CAN Module is compatible with the RevPi Connect or the RevPi Connect+ module.
Regarding the API - there is the piTest demo program with source code available in C/C++. The popular RevPiModIO Python library is also a good base.
GPIB is new to me. Could you explain this? RS-232 interface is possible within USB like this module in the shop.
Have a look at i.e. https://gnutoolchains.com/ for cross compilation.
We also have some video tutorials here that may help you at the beginning, i.e.:
Tutorial 12 – Digital IO Modules application example
Tutorial 13 – PiTest source code
Here is the tutorial "How to Control RevPi Con CAN".

A software development environment (SDE) is an environment that automates or augments the routines involved in a software development cycle. This includes programming-in-the-many tasks like team and project management as well as programming-in-the-large tasks like configuration management.
