The OCPP 2.Lite whitepaper has been updated!
Read the new version on the OCA whitepaper site and learn about two case studies, which demonstrate that it is feasible to create an OCPP 2.0.1 implementation on a microcontroller. The whitepaper explores the implementation of OCPP 2.0.1 (or OCPP 2.x in general) in the most streamlined manner possible: OCPP 2.Lite. In the updated version, two case studies by MicroOCPP and OpenOCPP were added. Their results suggest that the OCPP protocol stack of these implementations, which support both OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1, will fit within 200 KB. Both implementations are available as open source. Download the whitepaper and learn more about OCPP 2.0.1 running on resource-constrained devices.
What is OCPP 2.Lite?
OCPP 2.Lite is the smallest possible implementation of OCPP 2.0.1, as defined by the OCPP Lite Working Group. It is designed to address the needs of specific markets that require cost-efficient charging infrastructure. Emphasizing the importance of cost-effectiveness, the project seeks to minimize resource usage by avoiding unnecessary features. OCPP 2.Lite aims to reduce data communication costs and minimize code size, memory and processing power requirements, ultimately enabling lower hardware costs.
