1.9.1 ODP (OPEN DEVELOPERS PLATFORM) OVER RS-232
This device includes the Open Developers Platform (ODP), which permits customers to develop their own Linux based
applications which run on the modem's ARM9 processor. The customer's application can utilize the external RS-232
port, the external I/O port, and/or an internal 3 pin (GND, RXD, TXD) RS-232 port and is able to transfer data over the
cellular WAN using the Linux socket libraries. The Vanguard firmware also supports an API that allows the customer's
application to access diagnostic data from the cell module such as connection status and RSSI. More information and
support is provided by CalAmp's Applications Engineering organization.
