Catalog Applications
This article provides information on the so-called catalog application for the CHESTER platform.
CHESTER is an extensible low-power IoT gateway with an open SDK built on top of the Zephyr operating system. For immediate deployment, HARDWARIO provides several applications for particular use cases. Those catalog applications are available from HARDWARIO with a short lead time. The applications have source codes available as part of the CHESTER SDK and are actively improved, maintained, and supported.
The catalog applications also serve as a great starting point for your own firmware application.
