CBOR Serialization in the Golioth Zephyr SDK: 20% Data Savings!

Golioth provides a lot of different services for your IoT fleet. Under the hood they all boil down to one thing: transferring some type of data to or from a constrained device. Whether it’s your microcontroller-based sensors sending back readings, or the new settings from the cloud being pushed to a device via Remote Procedure […]

How to Control LTE with the Nordic nRF9160 and Golioth

Here’s how to control the nRF9160 cellular modem, and what to do about your connection to Golioth when the modem is turned off. When building cellular IoT devices, the modem is often the most costly component in terms of power budget. Connecting to an LTE network also takes time. In both cases, manual control of the LTE connection means you make all the decision on when and how the radio is used.

Change Logging Levels From Afar with Golioth

Golioth includes remote logging as a core feature. However, for devices operating on a cellular network, you don’t want to use bandwidth for logging messages unless they are really needed. This post discusses how to use Golioth and Zephyr RTOS to set device logging levels remotely.

Using VScode for ESP-IDF and Golioth

You can use VScode when working with Golioth’s ESP-IDF SDK. This guide walks through the process of setting up the ESP-IDF extension for VScode, then shows how to build, flash, and run the golioth-basics example application.
