<h1>Hardware Support: OpenLCB - Technical Details</h1>
|
|
<em>JMRI support for OpenLCB is rapidly evolving; the actual code might be ahead or behind
|
|
the documentation on any given day.</em>
|
|
<p>This page describes technical details of JMRI's <a href="index.shtml">OpenLCB</a>
|
|
support.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>CAN Adapters</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>JMRI's general approach is to support as many hardware combinations as possible. By
|
|
supporting as many people and their hardware desires as possible, we can create a growing
|
|
community of developers, hence more code.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As part of this, JMRI CAN support is designed to use as many CAN adapter types as
|
|
possible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Node ID</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>JMRI on an OpenLCB network acts - in part - like an OpenLCB Node. As such, it needs a
|
|
unique 6-byte OpenLCB Node ID. It builds this automatically every time it starts up by
|
|
combining the JMRI OpenLCB unique prefix with one byte from the computer's IP address and two
|
|
bytes of the process ID of the JMRI application. This allows you to e.g. run JMRI on multiple
|
|
computers or multiple copies on one computer without problems.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A future enhancement will make these persistent from run to run, so that they can be used
|
|
to easily create unique and persistent eventIDs.</p>
