ASIX IO-Link Device Software Stack Solution

The ASIX IO-Link Device Software Stack is developed on AXM-IOLS IO-Link device evaluation board, which is equipped with STMicroelectronics STM32F469AI microcontroller and L6362A IO-Link device transceiver. The software stack is developed using the STM32CubeIDE development tool, based on STMicroelectronics STEVAL-BFA001V2 software development kit, and seamlessly integrates ASIX's proprietary IO-Link device software stack library. It is suitable for a variety of smart IO-Link device applications, such as IO-Link sensors, IO-Link actuators, IO-Link hubs, and IO-Link valve islands.

The ASIX IO-Link device software stack package includes ASIX IO-Link device software stack trial library, a demonstration application, AXM-IOLS evaluation board reference circuit and PCB layout file, etc. The trial version of ASIX IO-Link device software stack library provides the complete functionality, excluding only the firmware upgrade feature. Designers can evaluate the comprehensive capabilities of ASIX IO-Link device software stack using the AXM-IOLS evaluation board, expediting product development timelines.
