Telit AppZone in a nutshell

• Telit AppZone is Telit IoT Development Environment

• AppZone allows the customer to run embedded software on the application processor of the module

• AppZone is comprised of IDE, tools, embedded framework and libraries. Online documentation and sample code are provided with the SDK



AppZone C• AppZone C is the flagship application framework.Lightweight and running on RTOS, providing optimized performances and fast response.

• Full set of APIs programmable in C language and enabling access to modem, hardware and peripherals, operating system and other services

• The cross-platform framework enables code portability on different products, chipsets and technologies

• We recently introduced with ME910C1 platform a new version of APIs (AZ 2.0 – m2mb), with enhanced functions and Posix-style interfaces. Backward compatibility will be allowed by a wrapper library mapping legacy APIs to new APIs

AppZone: key points• Reducing redundancy and simplifying design architecture to lower BOM costs.

• No need to reinvent the wheel and write applications from scratch: customers can focus exclusively on design of core featuresand value-add software, without wasting time on basic functions

• Customers can reduce project costs, time and investments to build a full featured and stable solution

• Customers can migrate applications to different hardware platforms.

• Enable innovation



Telit AppZone C framework highlights and architecture

• AppZone C is the framework integrated in the module on top of the modem software and OS. It provides a set of interfaces (APIs) to the modem functionalities, hardware resources, peripherals, OS functions, TCP/IP stack, SSL, file system and more• The framework is lightweight, fast and efficient, to fully take advantage of hardware resources and optimize real time performances• Provides multitasking programming• Support of HW interrupts and timers• C programming Language• Compilers: ARM and gcc• Application is developed by customer starting from a skeleton project provided in the wizard• Code samples and tutorials are included to illustrate usage of main features and services• Complete documentation with APIs, online help and manuals• Jtag target debugging and emulator supported

Linux AppZone on LE910Cx• Linux based environment is available on Qualcomm 9x07 based platforms (no password protection)

• Provides access to native Linux APIs and Qualcomm CM APIs.

• Allows to develop user space apps

• (Q1 2020) AppZone C APIs will be made available on LE910Cx as part of the Development Environment

The IoT AppZone IDEThe IoT AppZone Integrated Development Environment is based on Eclipse.

The IDE is comprised of Telit developedplugins delivering high level functionalitiessuch as:• Enhanced project creation wizard• AT command console• Module file system management• Application deployment and configuration• Debug tools• Interface to software version control systems



AppZone emulator• In addition to on-target debugging the developer can run and debug AppZone C applications using the emulator on the local host PC• From Eclipse interface the developer can switch to debug mode and monitor the state of the app. He can set breakpoints, step through the code, check value of variables.• The tool provides emulation of various hardware platforms and allows to set I/O values, trigger events, monitor output on the serial ports, handle SIM and network registration events, simulate TCP/IP communication and SMS.
