Easy TCP/IP for IoT
CEC Archives | CEC Semester Sixteen 2019 | Easy TCP/IP for IoT
The lecture series will begin by defining the elements that make up TCP/IP. The knowledge gained from our study of basic TCP/IP operations and concepts will be supported with the realization of an ENC28J60-enabled IoT device.
The Nordic nrf52832 is a Bluetooth IC based on an ARM Cortex-M4 core. ToDay's lecture will demonstrate the nrf52832's ability to execute a TCP/IP application. The TCP/IP application is twofold and consists of communications over TCP/IP between client and server IoT devices.
WIZnet offers a number of Ethernet devices that are backed up by a hardwired TCP/IP stack. ToDay's discussion will entail interfacing WIZnet modules to Microchip PIC and STM32 ARM microcontrollers.
STMicroelectronics is known for their low-cost NUCLEO development boards. Easy is what this lecture series is all about and toDay we'll see just how easy it is to load and run a TCP/IP stack with NUCLEO development boards.
The final lecture in this series will consist of an application based on MQTT, which rides on TCP/IP. MQTT is a Client Server publish/subscribe messaging transport protocol that lends itself well to IoT devices. In this final installment, we're going to put MQTT on your phone.
