Device Message 2.1
Overview
IoTConnect platform provides various flavors of SDKs, however, it may be a case where these SDKs are not fit for your device due to memory or hardware limitations.
IoTConnect provides you to build your own SDKs using the protocol which IoTConnect SDKs are using. You can find detailed documentation on workflow and all the minor things that you need to take care of while building your own SDKs.
Below is the Developer Document to build SDK of any language that supports your device.
Discovery API
To start the process you need to call the discovery API by passing a few parameters to fetch Identity Endpoint. For this, You need CPID or SID, IOTConnect-supported language, version, and environment.
