Introduction¶

Use the mBed C++ client library to easily connect mBed devices, such as LPC1768 or FRDM-K64F, to the IBM Watson™ IoT Platform service.

Although the library uses C++, it still avoids dynamic memory allocations and the use of STL functions, because the mBed devices sometimes have idiosyncratic memory models that make porting difficult. In any case, the library allows you to make memory use as predictable as possible.

Dependencies¶

How to use the library¶

Use the mBed compiler to create your applications when you use the mBed C++ IBMIoTF client library. The mBed compiler provides a lightweight online C/C++ IDE that is configured for writing, compiling, and downloading programs to run on your mBed microcontroller.

Note: You don't have to install or set up anything to get running with mBed.

For information on how to connect an ARM mBed NXP LPC 1768 microcontroller to the Watson IoT Platform, see the mBed C++ client library for IBM Watson IoT Platform recipe.

As used in this CLA: (i) "You" (or "Your") shall mean the entity that is making this Agreement with IBM; (ii)"Contribution" shall mean any original work of authorship, including any modifications or additions to an existing work, that is submitted by You to IBM for inclusion in, or documentation of, any of the IBM repositories; (iii) "Submit" (or "Submitted") means any form of communication sent to IBM (e.g. the content You post in the Issue or submit as part of a Pull Request).

This agreement applies to all Contributions You Submit.

This CLA, and the license(s) associated with the particular IBM repositories You are contributing to, provides a license to Your Contributions to IBM and downstream consumers, but You still own Your Contributions, and except for the licenses provided for in this CLA, You reserve all right, title and interest in Your Contributions.

IBM requires that each Contribution You Submit now or in the future comply with the following four commitments.

1) You will only Submit Contributions where You have authored 100% of the content. 2) You will only Submit Contributions to which You have the necessary rights. This means that if You are employed You have received the necessary permissions from Your employer to make the Contributions. 3) Whatever content You Contribute will be provided under the license(s) associated with the particular IBM repository You are contributing to. 4) You understand and agree that IBM repositories and Your contributions are public, and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information You submit with it) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with the license(s) involved. You will promptly notify the Eclipse Foundation if You become aware of any facts or circumstances that would make these commitments inaccurate in any way. To do so, please create an Issue in the appropriate repository.
