External Libraries

RIOT supports the integration of external libraries. These libraries can be used as BSD-like packages, i.e. they are downloaded automatically at compile-time (if needed) and linked against RIOT. For more information, please see the documentation in https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/blob/master/pkg/PORTING.md and https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/blob/master/pkg/USING.md.

Currently supported external libraries are:

• libcoap for the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP)
• oonf_api - a network framework for developing MANET routing protocols
• OpenWSN - an open-source implementation of a complete protocol stack (including 6TiSCH)
• TLSF - two level segregated fit, general purpose memory allocator for real-time
