DB2-2x Product Developers Tool Kit
User Manual

Fast-tracking design and implementation of Myriota-enabled IoT solutions.
Get up and running in minutes on the Myriota Network with our Development Board, which comes equipped with antennas, GNSS, battery, and sensor interface breakouts.
The Myriota Development Board is a key part of the developer tools platform for the Myriota Module. Combined with the Myriota Software Development Kit (SDK) and Application Programming Interface (API), the board allows you to get familiar with the behavior and performance of the Network, and prototype any type of application you can imagine for remote IoT.

Network Ready
The Development Board has a Myriota Module onboard, providing access to our low-cost, low bandwidth, a direct-to-orbit satellite network.

Myriota SDK
The Myriota Software Development Kit (SDK) provides tools, code samples, and documentation to help you build your Myriota-enabled product as quickly as possible.

Application Programming Interface (API)
The Myriota API provides job scheduling, sensor input/output, diagnostics, access to Myriota’s communication stack, and more.

Developer Site
The Myriota Developer Site (developer.myriota.com) is a one-stop shop for the most up-to-date technical guides, tutorials, API documentation and example code for using the Developer Board to its greatest potential.
