#### Advantech has created SUSI APIs to simplify application development and offer exclusive services with Advantech’s IoT devices

Advantech has created SUSI APIs to simplify application development and offer exclusive services with Advantech’s embedded platforms. SUSI APIs make it easier for customers to
program and configure features while integrating solutions. SUSI APIs provide a series of functions with a modularized design. Customers can easily implement them to fulfill their
application requirements. For outdoor applications, for example, customers can easily configure hardware monitors, thermal protection settings, system throttling, and brightness levels
for digital signage players and display control and management interfaces. New platforms can be easily upgraded without effort needing to be expended on redesigning applications.
SUSI APIs provide an IoT Translator SDK to assist customers with easily integrating their own devices on Advantech embedded platforms. This SDK effectively plays the role of a
translator, allowing plug-in functions to connect to peripherals and run applications. The full functionality of SUSI APIs provides a building block to accelerate development, enhance
security, and offer added-on value. Furthermore, SUSI APIs comply with the IoT data communication standards PICMG EAPI and JSON.They also support cross-platform compatibility
and can thus easily be applied to third-party applications by using the IoT Translator SDK. Simplify your application development and upgrade.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install SUSI API

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
