The simplest way is probably to put the PVs in an IOC that already exists, and have the non-EPICS-enabled application write to and read from the PVs via channel access.

Subject: IOC without iocsh

Hi,
I have developed for a Linux embedded board called uSOP various EPICS IOCs
that publish different PVs for Belle2 environmental data (temperature,
humidity);

to do these tasks I use makeBaseApp.pl scripts to start developing and
the result is an IOC that provide an iocsh prompt;

now I have to add, for a new developing activity, some EPICS PVs to an
exisiting application (not EPICS-enabled) and my question is how to do
this in a simple and effective way...

just to be more clear, the application uses the stdin/stdout to control
its states and I cannot use it for iocsh - how can I create an IOC
"inside" my existing application ?

Thanks in advance,
Gennaro
