Products #

A product is a customer-specific device assembled from generic IoT Ready modules, offering the set of services those modules bring with them.

The distinction matters when reading the rest of these docs:

• A module — gw, dis, nfc, sun — is a generic building block with its own firmware repository, its own release cycle and its own version. It is written without reference to any product.
• A product — NRC1, NRC2 — is a choice of modules, an enclosure and an electrical design, released as a set of module firmwares signed together for that product.

One consequence worth stating plainly: a product does not have “its” firmware to change. Adding a feature means changing a module, and that module is shared with every other product using it.

gw and sun appear in both products, which is the point: the same firmware, released once, used by whichever product includes the module.

A product’s service table is not a reliable guide to its modules. NRC1’s lists six services and omits sun altogether.
