i7000 Software for Linux

Please read file README.txt under each subdirectory for more information.
This package try to provide convenient calls to i7000 modules.  The
function calls, there are some created under Linux, and some wrapped
from the i7000 library for Microsoft. If you are come from Microsoft
programming environment and experienced i7000 function calls, the most
of calls of i7000 can still work for you.

However, the difference between Linux and Microsoft makes some calls
have different behavior, especially on port's open/close, time-out,
and time measurement.  Please refer to file ./samples/send_read.c then
you will know the basic difference.
