Downloading Libraries

Anchor

There are two ways to download the QuickStart Library:

a) Clone The Source Code

Create the QuickStart_Library folder anywhere on your computer and navigate to it.

Clone the repository with git (or a git GUI client):

$ git clone https://github.com/dustcloud/QSL-for-sm_clib.git

Enter the repository:

$ cd QSL-for-sm_clib

Initialize and  update the necessary C Library submodule:

$ git submodule init

$ git

...

 submodule update

Initialize and update the neccessary C Library submodule:

$ svn checkout https://github.com/dustcloud/sm_clib.git

b) Download Zip/Tar

1. Go to the QSL release page and download the latest zip/tar.
2. Go to the C Library release page and download the latest zip/tar.  The The C Library is automatically generated from the SmartMesh IP stack library source, and so it may change with each stack release and needs to be downloaded separately.
3. Unzip the files using your favourite compression tool.

• sm_qsl/ contains the QuickStart Library as a collection of headers (.h) and source code files (.c).
  
• sm_clib/ is a submodule that contains the underlying C Library, with sample applications for its direct use.
  • sm_clib/ is the C Library itself as a collection of headers (.h) and source code files (.c).
    • ports/ contains an example of the necessary C Library ports.
  • examples/ contains sample applications which use the C Library directly.
• examples/ contains sample applications utilizing the QSL
  • rpi/SimplePublish/ contains an example that connects and starts publishing random data, where the necessary porting functions have been implemented for the Raspberry Pi.
  • samc21_xplained_pro/SimplePublish/ contains the same example for the SAM C21 Xplained Pro evaluation board.
  • nucleo-l053r8/SimplePublish/ 

...

• • contains the same example for the NUCLEO-L053R8 development board.

The SmartMesh QuickStart Library, and C Library it depends on, are both designed so you can drop their directories into your application without modification, i.e. these two folders from the structure above:

In addition to the files in these folders, you need to implement a handful of functions, as discussed in the next section.

Install FTDI Serial Drivers

To be able to connect to and configure the mote and manager, your computer will need the necessary FTDI Serial Drivers. Most modern OSes come with FTDI drivers pre-installed (e.g. Linux), but you may have to install them manually if they do not configure automatically when you plug in the interface board or manager. Follow the installation guide corresponding to your OS if you have any trouble.

The ports of interest are the third and fourth, which map to the CLI and API, respectively, as defined by Table 1.
