Ok The Docs arent great, and I literally just figured this out 2 days ago.
but if you have a ZLD file (the raw instruction files for IDEC PLC Code)
it is now possible to deploy native instructions from the server of your choice.
This includes Linux, Unix, Mac, any number of Micro controllers, including arduinos and Esp32s.
I work at a company, and that company sends techs to deploy new code to hundreds of units yearly.
meanwhile most of our hardware contains a cellular enabled embedded linux server.
So now we can deploy updates remotely. Actually, there is a lot of things we could do. but this project isn't something my work place
has seen fit to pay me to do, so ive been figuring it out on my own, and making it open source as I go.

ok I don't like making videos, but i should make some better ones.
some other spin-off tools:
* instant debugger, plug in a device that tells you exactly what is wrong with your PLC.
* Remote controlled PLC
* mass deployments
* bulk reconfiguration
* Multi system monitoring
* easy reprogramming/ provisioning.
* an avenue to a more secure remote deployment system, based on standard server systems.
What it doesn't do yet:
Compile Native Code. For that you still need WindLDR.
I asked IDEC for an instructions compiler, but they don't see the point. hell. IDEC I think is just making wheels now.
which I am very curious.... I think the FC6A library will work on.
ah lets see, there is also a serial (USB) library now, and some other tools, when I get around to posting them.
