Software
Software
We have done some software work on TinyRex, which you can find below. However, the best is go to VOIPAC TinyRex Wiki, they do a lot of software work to support TinyRex module. In case you would like to learn how to create software for your own baseboard, have a look at software pages created for OpenRex, that will help you.
