This repo is now superseded by https://github.com/u-blox/ubxlib.

Introduction

In this repository you will find the implementation of a cellular transport in C for various embedded target platforms, enabling a cellular connection to be used inside the embedded C IoT SDKs of cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure. The implementation consists of:

• ctrl: a driver that allows control of a cellular module over an AT interface, e.g. make connection, read IMEI, read signal strength, etc.
• sock: a driver that allows data transfer through a cellular module, presenting the same TCP/UDP sockets API as LWIP and building on top of the AT parser in ctrl.
• port: the porting layer which allows ctrl and sock to be compiled and tested on various platforms and within various SDKs; look here for the build files and the tests.
• cfg: configuration information for the software in general, specific cellular modules and tests.

Usage

The C API for ctrl, sock and port can be found in their respective api sub-directories and are documented in the header files there. Information on how to build run tests on a given target platform can be found in the README.md files of the relevant platform sub-directory of port.

• the AT parsing code in ctrl is derived from the Apache 2.0 licensed AT parser of mbed-os,
• the heap management code for the STM32 platform (heap_useNewlib.c), required because the native ST implementation does not allocate memory correctly when used with FreeRTOS, is copyright Dave Nadler.
