IoT & Edge

In 2019 I gave a talk about how Rust can help to write safe and efficient code, even on microcontrollers. Still, it was pretty early, and the microcontroller stack contained a good portion of C code underneath the “application”.

This year, we are back to show you the current, bleeding edge, state of embedded Rust: Asynchronous code, actor based designs, swappable TCP/IP stacks, TLS, HTTP and MQTT clients. Even a bootloader and over the air updates via Bluetooth.

Eclipse sensiNact - keeping you in touch with your data

Thomas Calmant (KentYou)

The smart city ecosystem is huge and varied - trying to keep pace with new actors, devices, standards and protocols can be an unending task. Adding new data sources to your system, or even just updating existing sources, sometimes requires huge updates and breaking compatibility. The Eclipse sensiNact project provides a simple lightweight smart city platform hosting a digital twin of your city infrastructure, suitable for deployment at the edge or in the cloud. Eclipse sensiNact makes accessing data or triggering actions for any of your city’s smart capabilities consistent, simple and flexible, regardless of what native protocol or data format is used underneath. In addition, sensiNact provides push notifications, integrates with AI to automatically respond to data changes, and can deploy business logic to the edge for fast “reactions” even if the wider internet is unreachable.

Eclipse Amlen: Pub/Sub messaging for ALL the Things

Jon Levell (IBM)

Eclipse Amlen is a simple way of allowing secure, reliable, scalable communication between IoT devices, mobile, web browsers and back-end applications using the common MQTT protocol.

This talk will describe Amlen without assuming prior knowledge of the software, outlining Amlen's features and how to use it as well as the current status and the future.

The talk will feature a demo of audience members using Amlen for real-time collaboration from their phones (assuming suitable network access is available).

Ride the bike, not a bug!

Sebastian Fischer (Robert Bosch GmbH)

What are you presenting

Eclipse/kiso-testing

Why is it important

Kiso-testing was developed to facilitate the increase testing complexity for embedded developers who work on IoT devices.
It has a modular approach that allows potential contributors to add new functionalities based on their use-cases.
It is completely hardware independent.
It can emulate / replace proprietary test benches

Create A Real-Time IoT Dashboard With Eclipse Vert.x

Deven Phillips (Zanclus Consulting)

Do you find yourself having to ingest, transform, aggregate, and monitor data streams from hundreds or thousands of devices? Are you being pressured to lower costs and improve scalability? Then Eclipse Vert.x could very well amaze you.

Vert.x is a very small, lightweight toolkit for implementing reactive systems using the Java Virtual Machine or GraalVM. Vert.x combines the vast ecosystem available to Java with the reactive capabilities of Node or GoLang while making it all simpler to implement and easier to understand (IMHO).
