AMWx06 | Describes the common features of the Zentri AMW006 and AMW106 modules. The AMW106 has more memory and a faster CPU than the AMW006, but otherwise these modules are identical. |
AMWx36 | Describes the common features of the Zentri AMW036 and AMW136 modules. The AMW136 has more memory and a faster CPU than the AMW036, but otherwise these modules are identical. |
AMWxx6 | Describes the common features of the Zentri AMW006, AMW106, AMW036 and AMW136 modules. |
AMW0x7 | Describes the common features of the Zentri AMW007 and AMW037 modules. The AMW037 has a PCB antenna but otherwise these modules are identical. |
Bundle | A bundle, or firmware bundle, is an app developed for a specific platform, a specific ZentriOS firmware version, combined with the ZentriOS firmware version. Installing an app consists of installing the related firmware bundle. |
Connectivity Device | A device that provides another device with a connection to other devices or a network. Flavors of ZentriOS provide Wi-Fi and BLE connectivity. |
Device | In the ZentriOS SDK and DMS context, a device is an instance of a product: a particular hardware item containing the product platform and running the product app |
DLA | Dynamically Loadable Application - A ZentriOS app is a DLA |
DMS | Device Management Server - the Zentri DMS tracks the platforms, products and firmware bundles available to a customer and that customer's users |
Edition | The ZentriOS edition describes the capabilities of ZentriOS: - ZentriOS-W - Wi-Fi
- ZentriOS-S - Bluetooth Smart (BLE)
- ZentriOS-Z - ZAP
Editions can be combined, e.g. ZentriOS-WZ is required for developing Wi-Fi ZentriOS apps. See ZentriOS |
ESP | Embedded Secure Platform - a device that can run ZentriOS apps |
Firmware Bundle | See Bundle |
IDE | Integrated Development Environment, such as Eclipse |
MCU | Microcontroller Unit - in the context of command-driven ZentriOS applications refers to the host MCU external to a ZentriOS module; or in the ZAP context, refers to the MCU internal to the ZentriOS module |
NVM | Non-Volatile Memory - an area of persistent memory in which ZentriOS variable values are stored. See Variable Configuration. |
NVM backup | An area of flash storage to which NVM backup variables are saved. See Variable Configuration. |
NVM backup variables | The subset of critical variables that is saved to NVM backup. See Variable Configuration. |
NVM flash | An area of flash to which NVM memory is saved. See Variable Configuration. |
OPN | Orderable Part Number |
Platform | In the ZentriOS SDK and DMS context, a platform is a configuration of hardware that includes a component running ZentriOS firmware. A platform runs a version of ZentriOS compiled specifically for that platform. |
Product | In the ZentriOS SDK and DMS context, a product consists of a ZentriOS app running on a specific platform, and other properties common to devices instantiating the product, such as a title and a product code. |
S2C | Silicon To Cloud - Zentri's hardware and software offerings allow connectivity, control and monitoring from silicon level to cloud level. |
SDK | Software Development Kit |
Stream | The term stream has different meanings depending on the context:- Wi-Fi Network or File Stream - A specific construct managed by ZentriOS for reading and writing data to files or network connections. See Network Connections and Streams.
- STREAM mode
A serial bus mode in which data passes directly between a ZentriOS module UART and a wireless interface. See Serial Interface, Stream Mode.- General stream - the concept of a single continuous stream of data. See the article TCP is a Stream.
