[tracking]

Hi 

I am using nRF9160DK board and need transmit gps data to web site, I am trying with udp but have problems with that, I would like to know what protocol use asset_tracker example to transmit to nrfcloud? I try discover reading the example code but it's hard to me identify how its works, any documentation about the protocol and how its works will be very usefull to me.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Is your device already set up with your nRF Cloud account? The default cloud backend is nRF Cloud, so the sample will try to connect to nRF Cloud. However, your device must be in your nRF Cloud account already, like when you add it using the Asset Tracker application. You can also change the backend to AWS IoT or Azure IoT Hub, but then you'll have to configure ID, hostname, etc. in prj.conf yourself.

All of the cloud backends use TLS secured MQTT as communication protocol.

Best regards,

Marte
