This document describes the types of direct device access for integrating with Tencent Cloud IoT Explorer. It also introduces how different types of direct devices are integrated into IoT Explorer.
Directly Connected Device Online Type
Directly connected devices refer to devices that can directly access the network and access the IoT Explorer. Based on the carrier carried by the TCP/IP protocol stack, directly connected devices are divided into resource-rich devices and resource-constrained devices.
Resource-Rich Devices
The TCP/IP protocol stack runs on the main chip, which has relatively strong processing capabilities and abundant resources, such as routers. This document refers to it as resource-rich device.
Integration Guides
Resource-rich devices can be divided into the following five types according to the development platform. Please see the corresponding guidance document.
The TCP/IP protocol stack runs on the communication module. The main chip has limited processing capability and resources, such as the STM32F103 series. This document refers to it as resource-constrained device.
Integration Guides
Resource-constrained devices achieve network access through communication modules, that is, in the MCU + module mode. The modules are generally cellular modules (2G/3G/4G/5G) or Wi-Fi modules. There are many modules available on the market, and their AT commands vary. Customers need to port the Tencent Cloud device-side C-SDK to the selected communication module to implement capabilities such as MQTT connection and message communication. For details, refer to the device-side basic IoT SDK in Download Center.
