The RISC-V instruction set is now taking the world by storm. Since it is open source, many organizations designing their own processors and boards have leveraged it. If you are an IoT and Edge developer, you probably don't pay too much attention to processor instruction sets. This is understandable. However, IoT devices and edge nodes often benefit from being customized for specific use cases. Given this, it could make sense for you to leverage open source hardware and software together. But where will you find a comprehensive RISC-V based open source stack?

Lessons of History: What IoT and Edge can Learn from 10 Key Events

Frédéric Desbiens (Eclipse Foundation)

Human history is a treasure trove of lessons, most of them learned painfully. In this presentation, you will hear about 10 key events in history and what you should learn from them if you are an IoT or Edge developer. From the Pelopnonesian War to the Perry expedition, from the Ides of March to German Reunification, this will be an epic mix of historical knowledge and technical insights.

Toto, I Have a Feeling We're Not in the Cloud Anymore: How Java Developers can Build IoT Solutions

Frédéric Desbiens (Eclipse Foundation)

Microcontrollers are all the rage right now. Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP32... There are plenty of affordable boards that you can leverage to build fantastic embedded and IoT projects. However, the limited CPU and memory resources of those boards mean that, usually, you need to program them in Python or C.

Eclipse VOLTTRON from Research to Deployment

Jereme Haack (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL))

The session will provide a brief history and background of the platform, describe its capabilities, and then review its use in the community by commercial companies, research labs, and universities. The goal with this discussion is to show how it is being used and not just provide a feature list.

Security of the platform and deployment environment is a key feature of the platform and will also be discussed in context.

Pushing Semantic Digital Twins and Bots to the Edge with Kura, Kapua and RDF4J to control distributed SmartGrid systems

Alexey Ivanov (MIPT University, Laboratory of Applied Research)

Traditional IoT Gateways often serve as a proxy between devices and a Cloud where all control operations take place. It mainly requires time-series dataflow processing.

Coordination and control operations require a stateful model of the observed environment in terms of high-level business objects (“as is” and “to be”), derived from low-level sensor data. Eclipse Ditto or other Digital Twins As a Service systems could be used on the Cloud to store and query a state of devices and assets and decouple it from implementation details of drivers and protocols.

Managing Things: Remote Device Management for IoT Devices With LwM2M

Frédéric Desbiens (Eclipse Foundation)

LightweightM2M (LwM2M) by OMA SpecWorks is a device management protocol designed for sensor networks and the demands of a machine-to-machine (M2M) environment. It is designed for the remote management of devices and is based on the Contrained Application Protocol (CoAP, RFC 7252), which itself provides an interaction model similar to the client/server model of HTTP.

What Edge Computing Can Learn From the Moon Landings

Frédéric Desbiens (Eclipse Foundation)

2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Decades later, the Apollo program still stands as one of humanity's most impressive technical achievements. To think that we sent people in the void of space using a computer running at 1.024MHz and around 76K of memory!

Establishing Trust between People, Organizations and Things

Jelle Millenaar (IOTA Foundation)

Every day the world becomes more digitized and interconnected. In this online world, we have yet to find a way to trust the parties we interact with, resulting in a culture where we default to distrust and experience impersonation and fraud. This doesn't only affect interactions between people or organizations, but also prevents the vision of IoT and Smart Cities. If a city becomes automated and responsive to live data, how do we establish trust between IoT sensors and the data processors?

Developing and Debugging ESP32 IoT Applications using Espressif Eclipse Plugin

Kondal Kolipaka (Espressif Systems)

Ivan Grokhotkov

ESP-IDF Plugin for Eclipse is based on Eclipse CDT for developing applications on ESP32. ESP32 is a popular low-power system on chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth, making it suitable for designing and prototyping IoT solutions. ESP-IDF Plugin provides better tooling capabilities, which simplifies and enhances standard Eclipse CDT. It offers advanced editing, compiling, flashing, and debugging features.

Other notable features this plugin offers.
