Running an OpenThread Mesh Network with Linux and Zephyr

Transparent IoT Gatway Blueprint of the Oniro Project

Stefan Schmidt
<p>The Thread protocol specifies a low-power IoT mesh network. It offers self-healing, low latency and IPv6 connectivity without a single point of failure. In addition to the lower layer mesh functionality it also offers mesh network management, as well as secure onboarding of headless devices.</p> <p>OpenThread is an open source project implementing the Thread protocol and its components. The focus of this talk is to demonstrate a Linux based OpenThread border router and Zephyr based mesh nodes. Tight together by a Yocto based build system this talk shows all components you need to have an IPv6 enabled micro-processor on a low-power wireless link. The used power is small enough to allow operating a small sensor for months or years on a coin cell battery in such a scenario. All served by a Linux based border router to allow for internet access and end-to-end IPv6 connectivity.</p> <p>All of the above is bundled together in an Eclipse Oniro Project blueprint for a transparent IoT gateway.</p>

<p>Once you start out in embedded linux, there is a lot to do. Some things are obvious, some less so. First and foremost, you can put your knowledge of using Linux on the desktop to good use, right? This approach feels like a natural progression, but it has its pitfalls - some of which this talk aims to help you understand and ultimately avoid.</p>

<p>DirectFB2 is a fork of DirectFB, a graphics library designed with embedded systems in mind that was widely used in the GNU/Linux embedded world. DirectFB2 comes with changes such as a Meson build system, a pure C implementation and a modularization of the source code.</p> <p>Access to the low-level display is based on a DRM/KMS system module (or possibly on a legacy Framebuffer system module), and depending on the platform, hardware-accelerated graphics rendering can be achieved using the ...

<p>RAUC is a safe and secure open source software solution for A/B updates of embedded Linux devices. RAUC supports industry-leading build system: the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded, Buildroot and PTXdist. Porting RAUC to a new device requires several advanced technical steps. Layer meta-rauc-community exists to speed up and simplify the integration process for Yocto and OpenEmbedded by providing examples for popular devices such as Rasperry Pi, Allwinner (Sunxi), NVIDIA Tegra and QEMU.</p>

<p>In this talk, I will show you how to build and deploy ply (a dynamic tracing language for eBPF) to a BeagleBone Black then write ply scripts to attach probes and tracepoints to a running kernel and application on that same target. eBPF has rapidly eclipsed all previous tracers for Linux. While eBPF has taken the cloud native community by storm, the technology has yet to make significant inroads within the embedded Linux ecosystem. I will explain the reasons for this current situation and ...

<p>FPGAs are increasingly being used in today's embedded systems. But they are notoriously complex for having a difficult programming model. In order to counter this complexity, there has been a growing focus to design FPGA hardware at a higher level of abstraction with new languages and compilers. This talk will serve as "one stop shop" for topics related to these developments.</p>
