May rhymes with... IoT Day!

What will you be doing in May? For me, the answer is flying to California, meeting with people and talking about open source and open standards for building IoT solutions. I can't wait!

The Eclipse IoT Day taking place May 13, 2019, is co-located with IoT World 2019 - the world’s biggest IoT event! The IoT Day is organized by the Eclipse Foundation and Eclipse IoT Working Group, in collaboration with the IoT World 2019 team. There, you will learn from world-class industry experts how open source software can help you build devices, edge nodes, and IoT cloud platforms. Check out the speakers and their talks and register today!

 I will have the privilege to welcome the attendees and open the program. My talk, titled Eclipse IoT - State of the Union will enable me to share with you what happened in the Eclipse IoT Ecosystem in the last year and what is the Foundation's roadmap for the future. You will learn about major project releases; discover new projects such as ioFog, fog05 and Sparkplug; hear about our new and upcoming working groups.I hope to see you there!

Eclipse IDE for Embedded Developers Now Runs on the Raspberry Pi!

The Eclipse IDE is the project that started it all for the Eclipse Foundation . From the beginning, Eclipse IDE was meant to run on multiple platforms; it now supports Linux, Mac OS and Microsoft Windows. Since it is written in Java, it also supports multiple processor architectures. However, support for 32-bit architectures has been dropped in version 2018-12. This meant recent versions of the IDE would not run on the Raspberry Pi anymore. The introduction of the Raspberry Pi 4 in June 2019 gave hope to Eclipse on Pi fans. With its 64-bit quad core ARM Cortex-A72, the Pi 4 was a good hardware platform to work with. It became even more attractive in May 2020, with the introduction of the 8Gb variant. The Eclipse community took notice of those developments. Version 2020-09 of Eclipse IDE now ships with experimental support for 64-bit ARM (aarch64) on Linux.  Those developments mean embedded and IoT developers can now work on the Raspberry Pi 4 by installing the plugins provided by ...

Sparkplug: From Specification to Standard

This week, the Eclipse Foundation announced that the Sparkpug® 3.0 specification has been published as an International Standard. That sounds impressive. But what does it mean, exactly? And how will this impact the evolution of Sparkplug? To answer this question, let’s take a step back and consider what standards are. The technology industry loves standards. For example, USB is a set of standards managed by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF), a non-profit corporation founded by the companies that developed the USB specification. The Eclipse Foundation describes Jakarta EE as a standard: a set of  specifications for enterprise Java application development. In the IoT and Industrial Automation world, OASIS Open also presents the MQTT protocol as a standard. However, standards play a much more pervasive role in society. There are standards for building homes and others that define how cars should work. Standards permeate our lives. To understand the significance of this ...

A Robotic Dream Team: ROS 2 and Cyclone DDS

The Eclipse Cyclone DDS team has been hard at work recently ; this got them noticed in a big way. Open Robotics recently declared that Eclipse Cyclone DDS will be a tier one middleware in ROS 2 Foxy Fitzroy! Eclipse Cyclone DDS, an implementation of the Data Distribution Service standard under the stewardship of the DDS Foundation and the Object Management Group (OMG), is a project of the Eclipse IoT and OpenADx working groups. Some of the key benefits of Cyclone DDS include: Secure ROS 2 (SROS2) integration & testing contributed by Eclipse IoT member Canonical .  Implementation of DDS Security contributed, tested, optimized and ready for ROS users. The team backported this feature to the ROS 2 Dashing and Eloquent releases! Full coverage of QoS supported by ROS including lifespan and deadline  New high-speed RMW serializer contributed by Rover Robotics Ability to discover a single robot among a swarm of 1,000+ (thanks to iRobot for the use case!) Too many performan...
