3.1.2 Software

The software created for this reference design is based on the SimpleLink SDK and is intended to enable maximum code portability within the SimpleLink platform. By using the SimpleLink platform, developers can invest time in creating software once and then reuse the software across different MCUs with integrated wired or wireless technologies. This feature enables the design to be flexible and makes it easier to develop a set of products all based on the same core code.

The software for this reference design shows how a low-power, Wi-Fi-enabled door lock with multiple built-in security features can be created using the SimpleLink Wi-Fi Wireless MCU. Specifically, the software demonstrates how to implement the following key functions in a Wi-Fi-enabled electronic smart lock.

  • Wi-Fi provisioning (AP provisioning, SmartConfig, and BLE provisioning), to connect a door lock to a local network
  • SNTP, to acquire network time and set the system RTC
  • MQTT over TLS, to control and monitor the door lock state over a secure server connection
  • OTA software update using HTTPS with Dropbox API v2
  • Motor control through the DRV8837
  • Power management, to extend system battery-life
