Device SDK

Since KPN Things is a data platform, it prescribes with which data format your Device should communicate with KPN Things. The KPN Things Device SDK helps you to quickly connect your Device to KPN Things.

You put the Things Device SDK on your Device to set up communication with KPN Things.

The Device SDK is written in C and available for the following platforms:

• Arduino

• Mbed OS

• Bazel

Supported devices

Specifically, the Device SDK has been tested on the following Devices:

LoRaWAN	M2M	Internet
Marvin LoRaWAN developer board (Arduino) STM32 Nucleo-L152RE (Mbed OS)	Arduino MKR GSM 1400 Sodaq Sara AFF (Arduino) Sodaq Sara SFF (Arduino)	Arduino MKR WAN 1300 PC (via Bazel)

SenML Library

The Device SDK is mainly based on the ThingsML data format. ThingsML is an extension of SenML created by KPN. For SenML we have also developed a library which is available for C, Python, and MicroPython. Visit the SenML library documentation.
