Abstract

1. Introduction

PlatformIO development platform for BK7231, RTL8710 and LN882H IoT chips.

The main goal of this project is to provide a usable build environment for IoT developers. While also providing vendor SDKs as PlatformIO cores, the project focuses on developing working Arduino-compatible cores for supported families. The cores are inspired by Espressif's official core for ESP32, which should make it easier to port/run existing ESP apps on less-common, unsupported IoT modules.

2. Objective

PlatformIO development platform for IoT modules

This project demonstrates how C, ESP32 can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Arduino IDE / PlatformIO or a C compiler (gcc)
• Target board where applicable
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/libretiny-eu/libretiny.git
cd libretiny

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a mobile dashboard using Blynk or Firebase
• Store readings in a cloud database for history charts
• Add alerts via SMS / Telegram when thresholds are crossed

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
4. How is power consumption managed?
5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
