Hi all, as I’m currently at the OSS Summit Europe, a lot of people are walking through the hallways, that have a closer relationship to the hardware. So most projects here are sort of demanding C-type libraries. Especially there is one project, which I really liked from the sounds of it: EdgeX Foundary … https://www.edgexfoundry.org/about/
I talked to one of the people from that project, and they agree that PLC4X would be a great addition. However it would probably have to be a C style driver. Anyone here on the list that could help us get started with this? I mean on the Java side, I stated having a look at all sorts of Frameworks for building IO Drivers. I started with Apache Mina, switched over to Netty. So I guess we would have to sort of do something similar on the C/C++/whateverthatoutputsClibs side. I’m completely blank on that page. So even if you might not want to start working on this, some pointers guiding us to similar Frameworks would be super-helpful. If you’re able and willing to help, of course this would be even better. On a long-term perspective, I would like to start documenting the different protocols using things like DFDL and have the Java and C clients generated from that. But still we would need some basic framework skeleton in place for every supported language. Help wanted and highly appreciated on this base. Chris
