Welcome to Addi-Pack

Addi-Pack brings together all the essential components to develop, run, and interact with ADDI-DATA hardware, from drivers to applications.

It provides a unified framework for:

  • Driver management (KMDF / DKMS / RTX)

  • Hardware control (digital I/O, timers, counters, watchdogs)

  • Application development (C, C++, Python)

Tip

Addi-Pack brings together all ADDI-DATA technologies — from low-level drivers to high-level IT interfaces (OPC UA) — in one consistent Driver.

Overview

Addi-Pack is divided into three main blocks, each with a specific purpose:

  1. Public API

    The entry point for all user applications. Available in C, native C++, and Python. Highly polymorphic, the public API functions can be used with any supported devices.

  2. C++ Backend

    Handles logic and parameter validation. Translates Public API calls into driver commands.

  3. Device Driver

    The kernel-level component that interacts directly with the hardware. It performs low-level read/write operations, configures the device and exposes a safe, unified interface to the upper layer.

    Interrupt handling and other internal mechanisms are described later in the Driver Concepts Guide section.
