U-Zone
U-Zone enables the vehicle controller to run customized applications executed in parallel with NDC. With U-Zone Software Development Kit (SDK), you can develop U-Zone applications in C/C++, and upload them to the vehicle controller via the controller's web interface.
Features
Develop and run customized applications in the vehicle controller, for example:
- Interfaces to communicate with external devices.
- Diagnostic applications.
- Improved load handling applications.
U-Zone SDK
- Application development in C/C++.
- Create unit tests for applications.
- Example project shows how to use VS Code to develop, build, test, and debug U-Zone applications.
- External localization API that allows the U-Zone application to provide localization data to the vehicle controller software
- Example project for implementing support for dynamic docking
New web interface with U-Zone support
- U-Zone interface to upload and monitor U-Zone applications.
- View CPU power and memory usage of U-Zone applications via Resource Monitor.
CVC700 software with U-Zone support
- U-Zone applications run in the vehicle controller.
- Support for reading and writing NDC 8 variables.
- Support for subscribing to NDC 8 variables.
- Debugging tool.
- SSH access as U-Zone user.

Security
By default, the vehicle controller software uses a secure connection. For information about connection types, see the Product Description document for your vehicle controller software. If the connection type or application changes, the vehicle controller software can become less secure.
A poorly designed U-Zone application can introduce IT security risks.
The responsibility for security of U-Zone applications lies solely with the U-Zone developer.
