+The BCU SDK is a free development environment for BCU1 and BCU2 devices for the
+KNX home automation bus (formerly known as the European Installation Bus, EIB).

+interface to the EIB/KNX bus. It supports the following backends:
+- FT1.2/BCU2
+- PEI16/BCU1 (using the BCU1 kernel driver)
+- TPUART
+- EIBnet/IP Routing and Tunneling
+- KNX over USB
+Eibd provides APIs for various programming languages and a number of
+example programs written in C.
