IoT

The first microcontroller cores based on the ARMv8-M architecture, Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33, were announced by ARM in November. In a connected world where everyday devices can be compromised to launch Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, these cores offer the IoT something new; Born Secure.

The simplest definition of the Internet of Things (IoT) is that it is a giant network of connected things (application, devices, and people). Information sharing and data flow between things are at the core of this technology. IoT describes the domain where just about everything can be connected and communicated with in a smart manner.

SEGGER announces a Dropbox client as part of their IoT offerings. IoT devices have different communication needs. The new Dropbox client is ideal for projects which need to manage various amounts of data. This is accomplished by loading or storing files, even large data files, in a secure and reliable way using the public Dropbox API. Typical use cases include; firmware updates, log files, and for that matter, any information shared bet...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is not just generating a tsunami of data for which new connectivity and data analysis approaches are developed, such as fog computing and others. The IoT is also generating a tsunami of risks and concerns in the areas of Internet of Things security, regulatory compliancy and data privacy, as the team at i-SCOOP explains here.

  Smart lighting start-up Gooee has extended its international reach to South America by partnering with the Lumicenter Lighting Group, the Brazilian provider of conventional and LED lighting solutions. This partnership will enable Lumicenter to integrate and further develop Gooee’s IoT-enabling technology within its lighting products.

  A compatible gateway solution has been developed by Qorvo and ubisys. It allows various devices to communicate by integrating a ZigBee 3.0 and Green Power-based smart home network within the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) IoTivity framework. 

Axiomtek has unveiled the IFB122, a compact RISC-based DIN-rail industrial IoT gateway powered by the low-power Freescale i.MX 6UL-2 processor in the ARM Cortex-A7 micro architecture. Designed to meet the challenges in critical environments, it supports extended operating temperature ranging from -40 to 70°C, flexible wide voltage range 9-48VDC power input, and can withstand vibration up to 5G.

Massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become a weekly scourge, and with software now embedded in most consumer electronics, the problem will likely only get worse. Author: Michael Joseph, Senior Contributor, CA Technologies

No one will argue that the Internet of Things (IoT) is the buzzword in today’s internet driven world. From connected light bulbs to smart fridges and coffee machines, the IoT phenomenon is promising to change our lives in ways that weren’t imaginable a few years back.

Embedded devices joining the IoT exchange data with other devices using a network. SEGGER’s new MQTT client helps these devices to communicate with each other, using wired or wireless connections, anywhere in the world at any time. SEGGER’s MQTT client is a lightweight communication protocol perfectly suited for constrained environments such as IoT and Machine to Machine (M2M) contexts.
