Barracuda App Server Hardware Eval Kit

Evaluate the Barracuda App Server on a ready-to-use Wi-Fi access point with tutorials, browser-based development tools, and an optional ESP8266 SMQ demo device. The kit is intended for software teams that want to test BAS on real hardware before licensing the source code.

Use the Hardware Eval Kit When

  • You want to evaluate BAS on a physical Wi-Fi device instead of only on a desktop host.
  • You need a preconfigured tutorial environment for testing Lua Server Pages, web UIs, and secure device applications.
  • Your team wants to explore browser-to-device control with the optional ESP8266 SMQ demo firmware.

What Is Included

Ready-to-Use BAS Device

The hardware is configured as a Wi-Fi access point, so you can connect with a laptop or tablet and start the tutorials without installing a local toolchain first.

Tutorials and Browser Tools

The included environment demonstrates how BAS hosts web interfaces, Lua Server Pages, and server-side application logic directly from the device.

Optional ESP8266 SMQ Demo

The optional ESP8266 board can be pre-flashed with firmware that connects to the BAS access point and lets you control LEDs from a browser-based single-page application.

Optional SMQ Device Demo

The ESP8266 option is useful for companies evaluating Real Time Logic's SMQ technology. It demonstrates how a small Wi-Fi device can connect to the Barracuda App Server and participate in a live browser-to-device application. See the Barracuda Server Eval Kit Getting Started Guide for details.

Limitations:
The hardware eval kit is available exclusively to companies with a U.S. mailing address. If you are outside the U.S., please download the standard BAS evaluation package instead.
