Getting Started FAQ

If you're having issues getting started with IoTivity-Lite, these common questions and answers should help.

  • I'm having issues with curl:
    • The IoTivity-Lite installer script can be found here.
    • The OTGC installer script can be found here.
  • Both scripts can be copied to a local .sh files and executed if the curl command is failing.
  • I'm building on Windows:
    • Check the "Building sample applications on Windows" section of the "README.rst" file, found in the "IoTivity-constrained" directory, under the IoTivity-Lite project directory.
  • I'm not building on Windows or Ubuntu Linux 16.04.5, and have generic toolchain issues:
    • Try installing Ubuntu Linux 16.04.5 or creating an Ubuntu 16.04.5 VM using VMWare Workstation (free download for non-commercial use).
  • I need an OCF feature that is not present in Lite
    • Take a look at IoTivity "main," which is the older open source reference implementation of OCF Specifications 2.0.0 and prior. Get started building "main using the IoTivity build instructions.
  • Is there an Android client?
    • Yes! The Android version of the OTGC can be installed following these directions.
  • What is "IoTivity-constrained?"
    • IoTivity-Constrained is the former name for IoTivity-Lite; they're the same thing. IoTivity-Lite is the newer and correct name, although the constrained term still hangs around on some URLs, etc. For more info on IoTivity-Lite, visit About IoTivity-Lite.
  • Still no luck?
    • Ask your question on the IoTivity-dev email reflector.
