Google open-sources Cloud IoT Device SDK, a collection of libraries for embedded microcontroller-class devices
The company describes this SDK – the unveiling of which was timed to coincide with the Embedded World conference in Nuremberg, Germany this week – as an open source collection of Embedded C libraries that enables developers to “connect, provision, and manage” devices with Cloud IoT Core service. It specifically targets energy-, compute-, and size-constrained apps – like battery-powered cellular devices and Wi-Fi smart home devices. The Cloud IoT Device SDK works on hardware with as little as 25KB of flash memory (or 80KB with a TLS software solution) and uses non-blocking sockets to decrease power consumption.
