Samsung ARTIK Reference: The Definitive Developers Guide

by Cliff Wootton

Overview

Provides a professional-level reference to the Samsung ARTIK API, as well as to other aspects of interest to developers such as the file systems, the operating system internals, various available interfaces, input/output, and the hardware itself. This is the perfect book for experienced programmers and developers who want to jump in and work with Samsung's new ARTIK product line to create Internet of Things devices and applications. It is also a perfect follow-up resource for new-to-the-field developers who are just getting past the beginning stages of learning the ARTIK.

Samsung ARTIK Reference begins with a concise overview of the hardware and the various developer reference boards that are available. Attention then shifts to operating system internals, modes such as sleep and startup, and the various file systems and their parameters that are available for developers to adjust. Also included is a reference of API calls, guidance on input and output, documentation of serial, audio, graphic, and other interfaces. There is extensive reference to online resources with annotation and commentary guiding the learning process in many directions for further study.
