Overview

The IoT Toolkit is a collection of libraries that help you communicate effortlessly with today's IoT devices while allowing you to focus on the important parts of your application.

While IoT devices typically speak simple languages, it can become a burden to actually implement these languages according to their standards. The IoT Toolkit provides proven libraries to help you overcome the difficulties of accessing modern web-based services. The collection of libraries provides an easy-to-use API split into multiple theme based parts that can be used independent of each other and can be combined anytime necessary.

Using the IoT Toolkit jumpstarts the implementation of simple tasks like retrieving web pages using the HTTP client up to more complex tasks like communicating with REST-based APIs by using the HTTP client together with the JSON parser. Popular services like Dropbox that provide their REST API to developers can be interfaced using this toolkit. Depending on the provided service, additional components like a TLS stack such as emSSL may be required.

The libraries are optimized for, but not limited to, embedded systems. PC-based applications like emDropbox are also possible.

Key features

  • Easy to use API to get started with IoT applications
  • Supports REST API
  • Supports handling plain received data
  • Supports handling data encoding like JSON
  • Small embedded optimized API
  • Small module based libraries for a small footprint
  • Memory efficient and resource effective handling of data

Protocol Modules

HTTP client

Easy to use library to execute requests to regular webpages as well as IoT resources like REST interface APIs based on the HTTP protocol and handle the returned data.

Data Handling Modules

JSON parser

Parser library for easy and memory efficient JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data handling for most modern IoT resources like REST API resources.

An example of a more complex and feature rich application built with the SEGGER IoT Toolkit is our dropbox client emDropbox. This is a free to use sample application.

Licensing

IoT Toolkit is available under various Embedded Software License models and delivered in source code packages. With a wide range of licensing options, IoT Toolkit can fulfill commercial requirements as well as technical requirements. All licenses are one-time payments. IoT Toolkit is royalty-free and not subscription-based. This makes the software a part of the equipment expenses, keeping the costs static.
