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 file and executed if the curl command is failing.

  • Run all scripts as superuser.

• 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 18, and have generic toolchain issues

  • Try installing Ubuntu Linux 18 or creating an Ubuntu 18 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.
