[NXP Rapid IoT Review] + Alternative Experience Rapid IoT Studio online IDE[Copy link]
This post was last edited by shihuntaotie on 2018-12-24 19:59 Since I will be moving back home from the company dormitory soon, the evaluation plan may be disrupted (I have to take care of my children and cannot use the computer ), so I will post this now before I move, and test whether my ideas can be realized. NXP Rapid IoT supports a very convenient programming environment Rapid IoT Studio online IDE. I have always liked this kind of device board that does not require installation and can be programmed with a browser, just like MBED. This kind of environment is particularly friendly to enthusiasts or beginners. The great god Lan Yuye has shared the post Rapid IoT Studio online IDE. Then I will evaluate this programming environment from other aspects. As a browser-based environment, theoretically, it can be used with a browser, so can we use it directly on Android phones? Based on this, I tried it. The 1st to 3rd pictures are the pictures of opening the IDE through the mobile browser. Since the hardware is still in the delivery, the hardware functions are skipped. Judging from the browser effect, it is still possible to use it directly.
However, when entering the programming page, I found that I thought too simply. From the following, you can see that in the vertical version, the program box display is basically OK, but the component configuration box is squeezed and deformed, and it is completely unusable.
Since the vertical version has problems, I decisively switched to the horizontal version. From the display effect, it has met the basic use. After actual operation, it is quite smooth.
If there is no problem with programming, then we can skip the first stage and implement bin file generation now. After all, programming is only the first step. If you can't download the program, everything is floating in the clouds. From the test results, there are no problems with bin file generation and downloading.
I use Huawei Honor 10 mobile phone. From the effect point of view, it is basically usable, but the screen is still small. If you want a good effect, you should use a tablet. After returning home, I will test it with a tablet and then add the test results. The above only tests the writing of the program and the generation of bin files, and does not involve file downloading. From the user guide, it supports programming in USB mass storage device mode. Android generally supports USB-OTG. After receiving the hardware, it will be tested to see if USBOTG can be used to connect to the USB mass storage device of iot. If successful, we can use Android phones to program IoT anytime and anywhere. After carefully checking the user guide, it is mentioned in 4.1 that the firmware can be updated from a smartphone via BLE, but the detailed method is not written in the article, and the hardware needs to be tested. My phone was able to open the app smoothly after downloading and installing it when the event just came out, but it has an error message when it is opened in the past two days and cannot be used. There is no way to check whether there is a way to update the firmware via BLE in the app. Please test it if you can open the app smoothly.

It looks good, but the link to my iOS mobile app is not stable. I will post it after the holiday to share my experience.

Can Rapid IoT Studio online IDE only be used to download modules via mobile platforms? Can I download compiled files to the module by connecting it to a computer via USB?
