Embedded software baner vejen for IoT
Micrium er klar med, hvad firmaet betegner som den første 'end-to-end' løsning til brug i forbindelse med IoT (Internet of Things) designimplementeringer (in english).
There is currently a chasm in software engineering at the Cloud barrier. Most embedded developers program in C, and understand hardware interfaces and meeting real-time scheduling constraints. At the same time, most Cloud-based developers operate in HTML, Java, C++, Ruby, etc. Historically, there hasn¹t been much overlap of these worlds, but the Internet of Things is changing the landscape, as at the most basic level, IoT devices are those with connectivity.This is the space Micrium is now filling with its new Micrium Spectrum offering. Micrium Spectrum a pre-integrated end-to-end portfolio of embedded software, protocol stacks, cloud services to facilitate development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A first in the industry, Micrium Spectrum is also silicon vendor agnostic, which allows designers to develop proprietary and differentiated solutions.
- The IoT is driving a resurgence in the embedded industry, says Jean Labrosse, CEO and president of Micrium.
- IoT-ready devices require a solid software infrastructure, including a real-time kernel plus additional services like TCP/IP, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stacks, as well as cloud services and the ability to put it all together. This is what we are bringing to market in Micrium Spectrum; a truly end-to-end approach designed to allow engineers to maximize the performance of their systems.
Micrium Spectrum is a comprehensive offering of products and services to facilitate and accelerate the design of IoT-ready devices:
• Real time operating system (RTOS): µC/OS-II® or µC/OS-III®
• Local networking: Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth (classic and low energy)
• IoT protocols: http client and server with REST API, MQTT
• Java support: Java Virtual Machine for deeply embedded systems
• Cloud computing: Web services such as cloud-server interfaces, data brokering and cloud storage
- For the IoT to truly take off, devices need to be interconnected so information can be exchanged between systems - machine to machine - or connected to the cloud, says Christian Légaré, CTO and executive vice president of Micrium.
- Fundamentally, IoT devices are embedded systems with connectivity, so it is important to approach the IoT from the embedded systems level. Micrium Spectrum makes sense of the IoT, making it easy to design reliable, high-performance devices and maximize their potential.
