VSCP is a lightweight framework for IoT and M2M devices that includes a control protocol, tools, libraries, and autonomous node functionality. It allows for uniform unit discovery, configuration, data presentation, and firmware updates. The framework is designed to run on low-end hardware and supports many communication methods. It provides libraries and tools like VSCP Works for debugging and a lightweight daemon for a TCP/IP interface. The overall goal of VSCP is to make it easy to integrate smart devices in a common and scalable way.
