The specification directory contains the full text of the current version of the protocol, and the schema (currently in Protocol Buffers) for the syntax of USP messages. Use this section when developing your USP protocol stack.
-
The data models link will take you to the generated versions of the Device:2 data model (also known as "TR-181i2 - Device:2 Data Model for TR-069 devices and USP Agents") specific to USP. The raw xml used in development can be found in this directory. Use these to find the Objects necessary to the USP protocol stack, and when developing the Objects, interfaces, services, etc. that you want to manage and control with USP.
