Google introducing new Cloud IoT Device SDK for embedded IoT devices to connect to Google Cloud IoT Core

Google, in collaboration with silicon partners, are introducing a new Cloud IoT Device SDK.

The partners include:

• Arm
• Cypress Semiconductor
• Nordic Semiconductor
• Espressif Systems
• Microchip
• NXP

The Cloud IoT Device SDK consists of client libraries written in Embedded C that enable developers to securely connect, provision, and manage devices with Cloud IoT Core. The kit targets energy- and size-constrained applications, such as battery-powered cellular devices that act as asset trackers, or Wi-Fi smart home devices with limited flash ROM (read-only memory).

In addition to partner platforms that are supported out of the gate, now you or your embedded systems engineering team can easily port the Cloud IoT Device SDK to a wide array of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) and across various real-time operating systems such as Zephyr, ARM Mbed OS, FreeRTOS kernel, with more to come. The SDK also operates on POSIX-compliant operating systems like Linux, and can scale down to bare metal devices with the inclusion of its asynchronous API and event scheduler.

Microchip introduces new development board for Google Cloud IoT Core

Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) announced a new Internet of Things (IoT) rapid development board for Google Cloud IoT Core that combines a low-power PIC® microcontroller (MCU), CryptoAuthentication™ secure element IC and fully certified Wi-Fi® network controller. The solution provides a simple way to connect and secure PIC MCU-based applications, removing the added time, cost and security vulnerabilities that come with large software frameworks and Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS). Once connected, Google Cloud IoT Core provides powerful data and analytics to help designers make better, smarter products.
