Blynk.NCP
Blynk.NCP is a software solution that off-loads connectivity to a Network Co-Processor (NCP), while your application logic resides on the Primary MCU.
NCP means Network Co-Processor. It's a separate, smart little computer that's part of your device and comes ready to connect to the internet via WiFi, Ethernet, LoRaWAN, or cellular networks, or even a mix of these.
When you use Blynk.NCP, it takes care of all the internet stuff for your smart devices. This lets your main device focus on its main jobs like checking sensors, crunching data, and making smart choices.
Blynk.NCP is this handy software that works with a special part called the Network Co-Processor. It's made to look after all the internet connection jobs. So, your main control unit (MCU) doesn't get bogged down and can do important things like working with sensor data and making decisions. All you have to do is add a supported network piece to what you already have.
Here's why Blynk.NCP is a clever pick for updating your devices: It's not just handy; it gives your gadgets a tech boost without much fuss.
You get cool internet-of-things (IoT) tools straight away. Like using smartphone apps, setting up devices, updating their software over the air, automating stuff that keeps going, managing networks, and more, all without needing to code.
It's flexible with hardware, too. It works with what you've got or helps you when you're making something brand new. Blynk.NCP fits with many control units, like Zephyr and Arduino, and you can add our easy-to-use driver to any software development kit (SDK) you want.
It keeps your software consistent and your data safe because it lives on the part that connects to the internet. No need to redo all your software and test it over and over.
Plus, it runs smoothly all the time. Even if the Network Co-Processor is busy, your main MCU won't freeze or glitch, keeping things running well for you and your customers.
Depending on your hardware setup, you can go two routes for IoT provisioning. Choose Blynk.Edgent for single-MCU configurations. If you're offloading connectivity to a secondary MCU, go with Blynk.NCP.
