Software; Plugins; Apps - Nordic ID FR22 User Manual

6.9. SOFTWARE

The software is as important part of the Nordic ID FR22 as an IoT Edge Gateway, not only as an RFID
reader.
In this section you can update the operative system of the device, but also manage applications and

plugins.

PLUGINS
A plugin in Nordic ID FR22 is a service that runs internally on the device to enable certain features.
For example, the RFID functionality is a system plugin (named "nur3") that is installed by default, and it
cannot be removed. Other available plugins are a media player (API for playing video files) and C# runtime
engine (Mono).
You can manually install other plugins (or other versions of installed plugins) and uninstall the installed
plugins using this interface.
Note that as the RFID module is considered as a plugin, the firmware updates are now plugin updates.

APPS

An application in Nordic ID FR22 can be any application that you develop for your customers, or
applications provided by Nordic ID to help during your development and implementation process.
Not all the applications have a user interface. For example, an application can just read the data from
RFID tags, consolidate it, add additional information such as location or timestamp, and send it to a server
in the cloud.
