Development environment for Bluetooth IOT gateway

[Nihadh]

Hi,

I would like to use the nrf52 as my bluetooth end device, which inturn has to communicate with the Bluetooth IOT gateway like Rigado module or Nordic gateway APP(which ever is feasible). 

i tried the solution mentioned here:https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/b/blog/posts/introducing-nrf-cloud-an-iot-platform-for-your-nor

I was able to use the Android APP as the gateway and program my dev kit with pre-built hex from Nordic and Could see the device on nordic cloud web.

where can i find the code for firmware dev for gateway communication. or is there any relevant sample project in the SDK to look into.

And also I could see much customisable option on nordic cloud web services, or is there any option to get the cloud android APIs to communicat with our own cloud like(what kind of solution nordic can provide for cloud services.)

Hi,

Are you asking for source/project for the nRF Cloud Demo firmware running on the board, the gateway application running on Android/Desktop, or the nRF Cloud solution itself?

Unfortunately, the source for the two first are not available as source code at the moment, but any default BLE example can be used with the nRF Cloud solution. The source for nRF Cloud is available on this Github page.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hi Jorgen,

Thanks for your quick reply. 

So can I program my dev kit as ble peripheral and connect it to a gateway?

Regarding the cloud, how can we modify the gateway, is there any SDK available for developers to customize.

And also the web cloud interface is very less customisable. can we have a bidirectional comms and much developed system?

Yes, you can flash a BLE peripheral firmware to the board and connect it with the gateway applications for nRF Connect. 

Unfortunately, as I stated in my previous answer, there is no source code available for the gateway applications.

The nRF Cloud interface can do bidirectional communication. The system is intended for development, the source code is available in my previous answer if you want to develop your own cloud service or see the APIs.
