# Firefly

A research project conducted at Robotics Lab at Lund University.

Upstream: https://lgit945.cs.lth.se/robotlab/firefly

## What is Firefly?



Legend:




Firefly is a framework and protocol that is used to communicate serialized data

between two nodes. It builds upon the Labcomm protocol, which is by design a one

way protocol, and extends it to enable two way communication over different

transport medium.

The protocol specification is fairly simple by design to avoid any overhead when

used in a setting with real time demands. There is a BNF-description of the

protocol.

There are reference implementations for three different application examples as

well as four different transport mediums (UDP and Ethernet on Posix and

FreeRTOS/Stellaris).

## WARNING

The library's interface is still not set in stone and very prone to changes. Do

_NOT_ consider this as stable yet!
