<p>Newt Manager is the protocol that enables your Mynewt application to
communicate remotely with your device running the Mynewt OS in order to
configure, manage, conduct maintenance, and monitor it. The core device
management module is called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mgmt</span></code> and offers multiple options for
invoking the appropriate newt manager commands for various operations on
the device e.g. enabling and collecting logs, configuring and retrieving
stats, resetting the device etc.</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newtmgr</span></code> package if reduced code footprint is your primary
requirement and you do not have interoperability requirements
upstream for device information, discovery, and connectivity.</p></li>
<li><p>Use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">oicmgr</span></code> package if interoperability and standards-based
connectivity for device interaction is your primary requirement. This
package supports the OIC (Open Interconnect Consortium) Specification
1.1.0 framework from Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF).</p></li>

<h2>Invoking Newt Manager commands<a class="headerlink" href="#invoking-newt-manager-commands" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The diagram below indicates the two options available to the application
developer to issue Newt Manager (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newtmgr</span></code>) commands on a Mynewt
device. The application may leverage the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newtmgr</span></code> framework or the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">oicmgr</span></code> framework to call the newtmgr commands. The latter is
described in the next chapter.</p>

<h2>newtmgr<a class="headerlink" href="#newtmgr" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The newtmgr framework uses a simple request and response message format
to send commands to the device. A message consists of an eight byte
header and the message payload. The message header specifies the newtmgr
command. The message payload contains the newtmgr request/response data
and is encoded in CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) format.
newtmgr supports BLE and serial connections.</p>
<p>The newtmgr framework has a smaller code size and memory footprint than
oicmgr but does not support open connectivity.</p>
