ConnMan Context
The library’s main function is to facilitate communication with |ConnMan|, which is a network connection manager for Linux-based devices, particularly those running embedded systems. ConnMan is typically used in devices that require streamlined, robust, and automatic network configuration management, such as automotive systems, smart appliances, or industrial equipment.
Libcppconnman provides a C++ layer over ConnMan’s existing D-Bus interface, allowing developers to integrate network management functionality into their C++ applications without directly handling the low-level D-Bus communication details. This simplifies tasks such as:
Scanning for available network services (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Cellular).
Connecting to or disconnecting from a network.
Monitoring connection status and changes.
Managing network technologies.
Amarula Solutions’s Open Source Contribution
The development of Libcppconnman aligns with Amarula Solutions’s core business, which heavily involves embedded Linux and open-source technology. By providing such a library, they support developers working on devices that utilize ConnMan for network connectivity, easing the development of robust C++ applications for their embedded products. This commitment to open-source contributions reflects their value of transparency and their deep involvement in the embedded technology community.
