-This is the user documentation for the flink userspace library in C. It provides a device and bus independent interface to the underlying driver modules. For more information about the inner workings see [[https://github.com/flink-project/flinklib | flink Userspace Library on Github]]. The API of the library can be found under [[http://api.flink-project.ch|API]] 
- 
-===== Overview ===== 
-When flink is used on a Linux based system the flink userspace library offers an simple interface to communicate with the underlying kernel modules. The userspace library is split in two parts.  
-  * High-Level API: Interface to predefined subdevices, such as PWM or GPIO. 
-  * Low-Level API: Can be used to access user-defined subdevices. 
-The library must be built for the target platform architecture.   
- 
-===== Requirements ===== 
-  * Linux based operating system 
-  * GCC 4.6 or newer 
-  * CMake 2.8 or newer 
-  * GNU make 
- 
-===== Building ===== 
-  - Clone git repository: <code>git clone https://github.com/flink-project/flinklib.git</code> 
-  - Create a build directory: <code>mkdir build-local</code> 
-  - Change to the build directory and setup your build environment with CMake: <code>cmake ..</code> Optional: you can specify an installation prefix path with <code>cmake DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/ ..</code> 
-  - Build the source code: <code>make</code> 
-  - Install the library and header files on your system: <code>make install</code> 
- 
-===== Building for a different platform architecture ===== 
-  - Clone git repository: <code>git clone https://github.com/flink-project/flinklib.git</code> 
-  - Create a build directory for the target platform, e.g.: <code>mkdir build-powerpc</code> 
-  - Create a CMake toolchain file. For more informations, please have a look at the [[http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling|CMake Wiki]]. This file has to specify which compiler has to be used and where it can be found on the system.  
-  - Change to the build directory and setup your build environment with CMake: <code>cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:PATH=/path/to/your/toolchain/file.cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/powerpc-linux-gnu/ ..</code> 
-  - Build the source code: <code>make</code> 
-  - Install the library and header files on your system: <code>make install</code> 
- 
-===== Installation ===== 
-  * Move new kernel modules into the default location to ''/lib/modules/version'' of the target plattform. 
-  * Load each module with ''insmod'', e.g. <code>insmod flink.ko</code> 
-  * If dependency files were created beforehand its better to use <code>modprobe flink.ko</code> 
-  * Some kernel module must be loaded with the appropriate arguments according to the target board specifications (see below)
