4.4 Running Python Scripts On-Board
4.4.1 Overview
The baseline for having customer applications executed on the ANET ASP Linux
system is a structured and straightforward software architecture stack, comprising a
device driver and a C/C++ API (See Figure 4-3).

The onboard API is fully compatible to the AIM standard API what means that:
existing applications or parts of it, already based on the AIM standard API, can be easily
migrated to the ANET.
no new API command set must be learned for writing dedicated ANET onboard
applications.
