Software Tools
The Silicon Series of processors, along with
the included firmware, implements a fully
functional CobraNet-compliant interface.
In addition, Cirrus Logic offers a variety of
utility programs and documentation support
to assist our developers in successfully
creating and launching CobraNet technology-
based products.
•
CobraCad – is an application used to model
CobraNet network topologies. Simply point,
click, drag, and drop and CobraCad will ver-
ify that the CobraNet network configuration
will perform as intended. This tool is ideal for
end users installing systems with CobraNet
technology.
•
CobraNet Discovery – is a utility program
used to provide valuable feedback regarding
the working state of a CobraNet network.
The program reads and displays operational
statistics from every CobraNet interface on
the network. It can also be used to assign
addresses to individual CobraNet devices
and to update CobraNet firmware.
•
CobraNet Object Tools (COT) – is a
Microsoft
®
COM object library that can be
used with a variety of software languages or
scripting systems. COT provides all of the
low-level functionality needed to configure
and monitor CobraNet devices, greatly
easing the development effort required to
write custom CobraNet applications.
