AEP 1.3.2 – custom application support

[Eric Tsai]

Is there any documentation around what type of custom applications are supported with the 1.3.2 release of the AEP image? Can we run our own node.js app on the AEP gateway? Python?

Also, I see “Partial configuration download” in the change log. What does that mean?

Is there a better place to understand the release features than the changelog?

Thanks,
Eric

Eric,

There is documentation on the type of custom applications that are supported and also on custom application created at:

http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/aep/creating-a-custom-application/

You can run your own node.js app on the AEP gateway or a Python app. The only catch is that you have to have an SD card installed on the AEP. Follow the guidelines for creating a custom application at the URL above and you can create custom applications. There are even a few example custom applications at the bottom of the main page on creating custom apps. The examples are node.js, Python, and a binary application using Boost.

The Partial Configuration feature supports the capability to create a custom configuration where you edit a limited number of configuration values (configuration of all values on Conduit is not supported). You do this on DeviceHQ, and then push the configuration to a Conduit using the Remote Management feature. Using this feature will require you to have created an account on DeviceHQ, and enabled Remote Management on your Conduit.
