Re: [paho-dev] Using Paho embedded-C client for Arduino

[Ian Craggs <icraggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

the mbed community want to have an "official" mbed MQTT library. Various 
MQTT libraries have been imported or written in past, with varying 
levels of completeness.  A port of Nick O'Leary's Arduino client is 
one.  Now they would like something more complete, to promote.

So I've been working with Sam and Doug in particular from this team: 
http://mbed.org/teams/mqtt/, on a portable MQTT client library, 
eventually in 3 layers (http://modelbasedtesting.co.uk/?p=94).  All the 
code I've written is under the Eclipse license, and I intend the master 
code to be in Paho.

I'm excited about this work because:
    1. it should be ultra-portable across OSes and networking 
libraries, and really lightweight
    2. I'm hoping it will be the last MQTT C/C++ client library I will 
ever have to write!
    3. It's a perfect model for an MQTT-SN client library (already started)

We're hoping that we'll be able to work with other embedded OS 
communities (e.g. FreeRTOS) subsequently.
