Lab 65 - Cellular IoT Connectivity using FreeRTOS [ CAT-M1 ]

In this workshop, we will learn how to enable AWS IoT Cloud Connectivity from low power cellular IoT devices (CAT-M1), using FreeRTOS cellular HAL library.

FreeRTOS Cellular HAL

The FreeRTOS IoT libraries provide connectivity, security, and over-the-air update functionality suitable for building microcontroller-based IoT devices.

It also provides pre-integrated reference integrations, which helps to accelerate the IoT product development.

AWS Reference Integrations are available for multiple connectivity technologies (WiFi, BLE) for wide range of Silicon Chipsets.More details here

In this lab, we will show how to connect to AWS IoT core using Cellular IoT connecitvity [CAT-M1]

Key Features

1. FreeRTOS Cellular HAL provides a set of APIs to provision, configure and to communicate with the cellular network for data communication

2. TCP/IP Stack Communication is Offloaded to the Communication Processor/Cellular Module

Benefits

1. FreeRTOS Cellular HAL is a flexible framework which enables customers to integrate cellular IoT connectivity to any Host MCU ( easier to integrate with the FreeRTOS AWS integration)
