This is the list of requirements taken into the consideration:
- No GPL dependency to allow commercial use under application stores licenses.
- ANSI C for portability and to allow simple wrapping into .Net, Java, GOlang, Objective-C or Swift in future
- Layered architecture to allow direct linking of the drivers into applications and or to replace wire protocol.
- Atomic approach to device drivers. E.g. if camera has imaging and guiding chip, driver should expose two independent simple devices instead of one complex. It is much easier and transparent for client.
- Drivers should support hot-plug at least for USB devices. If device is connected/disconnected while driver is running, its properties should appear/disappear on the bus.
- FITS, XISF, JPEG, TIFF, RAW, AVI and SER format supported directly by the framework.
- INDIGO Bus framework
- XML & JSON protocol adapter for client and server side
- indigo_server - server with loadable (indigo .so/.dylib and indi executables) drivers
- indigo_server_standalone - server with built-in drivers
- INDIGO Server for macOS wrapper (provided just as an example)
- Integrated HTTP server for BLOB download & server control (= web based INDI control panel)

New linux distributions come with the latest glibc that does not provide pthread_yield() However libqhy.a depends on it. We do not have control over this library and it is not officially supprted by QHY any more. So if you get complaints by the linker for missing pthread_yield call please execute the folowing command in indigo_drivers/ccd_qhy/bin_externals/pthread_yield_compat/:
make patchlib
and rerun the build
