Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when developing an embedded C client for the repository's AWS IoT Core workflow or when you need its modular platform and component structure. Treat direct blockchain integration and on-chain submission as future extension work rather than available functionality in the current repository.
Who it is for
- Embedded C developers building connected-device clients
- Teams integrating device data with AWS IoT Core
- Developers porting IoT software across Linux, Android or supported embedded targets
Documented uses
- Build an embedded C99 client that registers with AWS IoT Core and publishes signed device business data as IoT Shadow updates.
- Use the SDK's modular cloud, MQTT, TLS, crypto, storage and queue components in a connected-device application.
- Adapt the platform interfaces for network, storage, security, system and device functions to support another POSIX-like target.
Requirements & limits
The public repository is licensed under Apache-2.0.
- The implemented cloud integration is AWS IoT Core; additional providers and direct blockchain-facing capabilities are planned extensions.
- The Linux x86_64 quick start requires CMake 3.16+ and GCC 9+ or Clang 10+.
- Android builds use the NDK CMake toolchain; the documented defaults are arm64-v8a and Android API level 23.
- SIMCom A7606E-H cross-compilation requires an OpenWrt toolchain, target sysroot and vendor libraries.
- The MQTT component borrows connection-configuration buffers, so callers must observe its buffer-lifetime requirements.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Build and run the documented Linux test workflow
Configure and build the SDK for Linux x86_64, then invoke its documented test suite.
Before you start
- CMake 3.16 or later
- A C99 compiler: GCC 9+ or Clang 10+
- Git access to clone the repository and its submodules
Steps
Clone the repository with submodules using the command below.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/antgroup/AntChainTrustSDK.gitChange to the repository directory.
Run
./build.sh linux_x86 --clean-build --test.
Expected outcome
The documented workflow generates configuration, configures and builds under `build/`, then runs tests labeled `actrust`.
Guide limitations
- This guide follows the repository's documented build-and-test procedure; it does not establish that the workflow was executed independently.
- The optional formatting tools listed in the README are needed only to run
tools/format.sh.
Configure an Android NDK build
Set up the documented Android target build using the SDK's NDK CMake toolchain.
Before you start
- Android NDK
- Set
ANDROID_NDK_HOMEto the NDK path
Steps
Export
ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/path/to/android-ndk, substituting the path to the installed NDK.Run
./build.sh android --clean-build.
Expected outcome
The build uses the Android NDK CMake toolchain and Android platform adapter.
Guide limitations
- The documented defaults are
arm64-v8aand Android API level 23; other values require settingANDROID_ABIorANDROID_PLATFORM. - This recipe covers the documented build invocation, not application deployment or runtime behavior.
