Device API

This is the "Device API", for communications between an edge device and a controller.

See https://www.lfedge.org/projects/eve/

This directory defines only the API itself. It is in two parts:

• documentation in the file APIv2.md for the protocol
• documentation in the file PROFILE.md for local profile override
• message definitions as protobufs in subdirectories to this directory

To use the protobufs, you need to compile them into the target language of your choice, such as Go, Python or Node. The actual compiled language-specific libraries are in the go/ and python/ folders of this repository, and are compiled via the command make proto in the root of this repository.

In addition to the language-specific libraries, make proto generates visualizations of the protobuf structure, beginning with the root of an edge device config. These are available as .svg, .dot and .png as below. Click to zoom in.
