AWS's official C SDK for connecting embedded devices to AWS IoT, composed of modular libraries like coreMQTT, coreHTTP, coreJSON, and corePKCS11. It supports device shadow, jobs, device defender, over-the-air updates, and fleet provisioning on resource-constrained hardware.
Use cases
- connect an embedded device to AWS IoT over MQTT
- implement device shadow in C on a microcontroller
- perform over-the-air firmware updates for IoT devices
- provision IoT devices to AWS at first boot
- send device metrics to AWS IoT Device Defender
- run AWS IoT Jobs on an embedded C client
When to choose
- building firmware in C for resource-constrained microcontrollers that talk to AWS IoT
- you need modular, per-library integration with an existing embedded codebase
- you want AWS-supported shadow, jobs, OTA, and provisioning clients
When to avoid
- your device is not connecting to AWS IoT specifically
- you need a high-level SDK with TLS and networking fully bundled for Linux applications
- you prefer Python, JavaScript, or another higher-level language
