What development tools do I need to add a ShortStack interface to my product?
You need a microcontroller development system for your host processor. In addition, you need a ShortStack Developer’s Kit that includes the ShortStack software for your host, and ShortStack firmware for creating a PL-20 power line or TP/FT-10 free topology twisted pair ShortStack Micro Server. The ShortStack Developer’s Kit is downloadable from www.echelon.com/shortstack free of charge. An Echelon NodeBuilder Development Tool is not required, but can be used to reduce development and test time. A ShortStack device can either be self-installed, or installed in a managed network using a network installation tool. When installing a ShortStack device in a managed network during development or in the field, you can use the LonMaker Integration Tool or you can use another tool based on the LNS® network operating system.
