Android or iOS app for IPSP

Daniel O'Neill

Hi,

Our application needs to send MQTT messages to AWS from a nrf52840 via a Android/iOS device.

We are currently using Zephyr + IPSP + MQTT to a Ubuntu virtual box for communications.

I can't seem to find any apps for Android/iOS that actually do IPSP. Is there a reason for this?

Is there a better way to achieve our requirement?

Cheers,

Daniel

    Hi Daniel,

     

     

    Our application needs to send MQTT messages to AWS from a nrf52840 via a Android/iOS device.

    We are currently using Zephyr + IPSP + MQTT to a Ubuntu virtual box for communications.

    I can't seem to find any apps for Android/iOS that actually do IPSP. Is there a reason for this?

    IPSP uses a lower layer in the bluetooth LE stack (connection oriented channels) for data transfer. The only use of GAP/GATT is for advertising. When connected, the data transfer will be performed on the L2CAP layer, which most "normal apps" on iOS/Android will be confused about, as it assumes GAP/GATT.

    The bridging from BLE to IPv6 is currently only implemented via kernel module bluetooth_6lowpan. While Android is based on the linux kernel, it does require a whole ecosystem in order to run the IPSP properly, which it does not seem to have by-default.

     

    Neither Android or iOS does not seem to support this now.

     

    Kind regards,

    Hi Håkon,

    Thanks for the quick response. Are you  aware of any roadmap that Android or iOS may include support? 

    What is the common method to get mqtt messages from a nRF52 device to aws via Android or iOS?

    Do Nordic have any examples (Zephyr preferred) 

    Cheers,

    Daniel

    Not that I know of, but you'll need to check with the respective communities. Android has been working on 6lowpan, but for IEEE 802.15.4 devices.

    The only way I know of is to send the mqtt data around a proprietary BLE service, then add aws handling in a app on the phone side.
