State of VSCP

Yes, it probably looks like nothing happens with VSCP. But rest assure it is. You may have noticed this if you follow some of the subprojects on Github, because this work is not visible elsewhere. Below are some updates.

There is a group at Google groups for VSCP. Join it if you want to discuss VSCP.

vscp-works-qt is the main thing I work with. It is now in a stage that have passed the functionality of the old vscp-works. Still, after three years of development, there is no release because I want to have some last things added to it before I make an official release. The problem with a release is that people will expect configuration file formats etc to be preserved in updates wich of course is extra work for the developer. It works on Linux and Windows and will probably work on Mac to.

vscp-simulator is a VSCP simulator that will run on both windows and Linux. Currently it works over socketcan and Level I but will support Level II and the other transports. It can be used to test your own protocol code and can even simulate the bootloader.

vscp-firmware now contains new code for vscp-firmware builds. This version supports level I and level II and require a bit more powerful hardware then the minimalistic version that was available before. Also there is code in progress for the VSCP bootloader that work both for level I and level II.

vscp has no big updates for the daemon but there is a lot of new helper code here. Bootloaders and transport protocols can now be handled and added to your own programs in an easier way. Docs and examples will follow.

Thats it I think. I will try to make updates on the status more often in the future.
