Hardware Support

Two types of Beacon chips can connect to the Tuya IoT Development Platform.

  • Tuya standard chips: Tuya makes hardware adaptations for them.
  • Third-party chips: Customers or third parties make hardware adaptations for them.

Choose a chip solution based on your product requirements. If you opt for a Tuya standard chip, the supporting hardware design guidelines, chips, and evaluation kits are available for you to choose from.

  • Tuya places some restrictions on certain pin functions of Tuya standard chips. Therefore, if you develop with Tuya standard chips, you must refer to Tuya’s GPIO documentation of each chip platform for pin configuration instead of the original Beacon chip specifications.
  • If you develop with third-party chips, pay attention to the RAM and flash memory resources of your chip to run the library.

Chipset platform

Tuya provides chips that are specially adapted to certain chip platforms and corresponding SDKs. With these, you can directly work on the application code.

Third-party chip

Tuya provides a library and a generic SDK based on chip platform-specific compilers. Make sure the RAM and flash memory resources of your chip meet the hardware requirements for porting the library.

If you want to integrate with a third-party chip, submit a service ticket.
