Novatel SDK (windows)

Question

I installed the novatel SDK for windows and attempted to run an example application (FieldTestInfo).

I made sure to check if the NvtlService is running in windows services (it is).

When I run in debug, I see that:

//Check to see if SDK loaded okay
    if( !sdk.IsLoaded() )
    {
        printf("SDK unavailable, aborting\n");
        return 0;
    }

sdk.IsLoaded returns false.

Nothing in the sdk addresses this. Anyone know what I should check to troubleshoot this?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is to avoid using Novatel products if you are concerned with documentation and an active developer community. Novatel offers neither.

I contacted Sierra wireless and so far have had a much easier time obtaining the information required to develop applications equivalent to those I would have used novatel product for.
