Setup ECI Repository

This option is recommended for new users of ECI. This will setup the public ECI repository from which ECI packages can be readily installed onto a target system.

Download ECI Release Archive

This option will download the ECI release archive which includes ECI source code for building ECI packages and images, fully-built packages which can be privately hosted, Microservice Dockerfile templates, and CODESYS example applications and benchmarks.

Click the corresponding tab.

A target running a compatible OS can install ECI packages from a hosted ECI repository.

Do the following to setup the ECI repository:

  1. Click the “Review License Agreement” button to review and accept the license agreement.
