M-Bus Library Support The powerful embedded computer CX255 is a freely programmable and configurable Linux computer. The integrated M-Bus interface is supported by a C library for easy reading electricity, gas and water meters. The software integration into a specific environment can be realized with minimum effort. An exchangeable SD card offers up to se veral Gigabytes of nonvolatile mass storage space for universal usage. It can be used for databases, for datalogging or even for larger programs or libraries. All common file formats like FAT, FAT32, ext2, ext3, among others, are supported. Flexible programmable platform The C/C++ programming is supported by a standard GC C toolchain with Glibc library. Script programs are supported as well as a Java runtime machine. Application programs benefit from the numerous protocols, servers and clients already available for instantaneous usage. A CGI enabled webserver supports webbased applications, data transfer can comfortably be done by ftp transfer and data management is supported by the SQL database system SQLite.
