AIG301/501 Application Development

TPE Application v.s. tpFunc Function v.s. AIE Module

There are 3 ways for customers to develop, run your own application on AIG301/501 device. All these ways allow your application to integrate and leverage ThingsPro Edge's capabilities and features by Restful API and SDK.

The application could be edge computing program (to calculate, manipulate, analysis data on edge), data acquisition (to fetch data by proprietary protocols), scheduling task (to arrange routine operation tasks), or data publish program (to transfer data to specific IT system).

Below table gives you ideas how to select suitable application development way to fit your requirements.

	TPE Application	tpFunc Function	AIE Module

Knowledge Require	- Docker container Application design - Linux Driver & Utility - ThingsPro Edge Application build and deployment	Python coding tpFunc deployment	- Docker container Application design - Linux Driver & Utility - Azure IoT Edge
Program Design Pattern	By your own	- Time Driven - Data Driven - Web API Style	By your own
Other Limitations		- all source code must keep at 1 file

(*) Need to mount physical resources into Docker container
