Can this sdk be used on a Raspberry Pi?

[jeffmachyo]

Hello, I'm trying to implement an IoT solution in C++ and I would like to include a script that sends data to the AWS cloud in C++. I am using a raspberry pi for this. I have installed the device sdk but when I try to include the header files (for example aws/crt/Api.h in a Hello World program) I get an error saying that the files do not exist. Maybe there is something that I'm missing, It would be awesome if you pointed me in the right direction. I am going crazy just thinking about this.

Thanks

Edit: I got it to build and I ran the sample pub_sub executable. Sorry for bothering you all. I would like to ask if it is possible to incorporate this into a cpp program that I am currently writing. I am collecting data from a sensor and sending the sensor data via I2C to the raspberry pi after which I would like to send this data to AWS IoT Core. Any help pointing me to the correct direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..

Awesome, glad to hear you got it working!

If you need to retain the sensor data, I would recommend using a Shadow to store the data from the sensor. Then the data will be retained on AWS IoT Core and will be accessible through the endpoint and Shadow associated with the IoT thing that uploaded the Shadow data. The Shadow sample would be a good place to look for getting started with Shadows and whether you think it would help with your use case.
