EI-Connect

IoT/EI-PaaS Connection libraries for IoT/EI-PaaS client.

DESCRIPTION

EI-Connect – the connection libraries to communicate between device and IoT/EI-PaaS Server. Advantech provides a software development libraries to communicate and exchange information between target device and IoT/EI-PaaS Server, called EI-Connect. The EI-Connect provides a rich set of user-friendly, intelligent and integrated interfaces, which speeds development, enhances security and makes agent application easier and simpler to communicate with IoT/EI-PaaS Server. The framework has several benefits:

  • Standardization - The communication protocol is based on the MQTT protocol to communicate and exchange data with IoT/EI-PaaS Server. The IoT sensor data report format is following the IPSO Spec. in JSON format.
  • Portability - Whole framework is written in C language and follow the ANSI C Standard, that C compilers are available for most systems and are often the first compiler provided for a new system.

OVERVIEW

The EI-Connect includes:

Library:

  • libWISECore.so

    • Core library of EI-Connect to handshake with IoT/EI-PaaS Server.

  • libWISEConnector.so

    • Manage the MQTT connection.

Application:

  • Sample\WISECoreSample:

    • Lightweight agent sample application for both Windows and Linux.

  • Sample\MosquittoSample:

    • Sample application, implement based on EI-PaaS handshake protocol with MQTT library,for both Windows and Linux.
