XdkExtensionPort

This example demonstrates the capabilities when using the extension bus of the XDK. It provides the possibility to communicate with external attached devices over UART, SPI, I2C or simply over GPIO. Furthermore, the example is configurable to use only one of the previously mentioned communication modules or all at once.

Programming

  1. Find the files placed under AwsSendDataOverMQTT (4 files)

    1. Modify the config.txt with ssid, password, serverurl, brokerurl and broker port as shown below in config.txt. picture.

    2. Go to “IoT Core” available under “Services”, after logging into http://console.aws.amazon.com/.  If you don’t have an existing account you have to create a new AWS account. Afterwards The Home page will open as shown below
