The Whitecat Create Agent is a small piece of software that runs on your computer, and allows the communication beetween a Lua RTOS device and The Whitecat IDE.
The communication between the agent and the IDE is made using websockets, and the communication between the agent and the Lua RTOS device is made through a serial port connection.
For your convenience the agent is running in the background and is started automatically when the computer boots. In the initial state the agent is sleeping, until The Whitecat IDE is opened, which it has a minimal impact in the performance of your computer.
Please note you need probably to download and install drivers for your board's USB-TO-SERIAL adapter for Windows and Mac OSX versions. The GNU/Linux version usually doesn't need any drivers. This drivers are required for connect to your board through a serial port connection.
