A Virtual Event With a Focus on the Real World

April 9, 2020 was supposed to be a big day for the Eclipse IoT, Eclipse Edge Native and Eclipse Sparkplug communities. We were planning to gather in a room of the San Jose Convention Center to have a full day of presentations and networking. Unfortunately, that event got cancelled due to the Coronarivus pandemic.

Given we had such a strong speaker lineup, we decided to organize a virtual event instead. The Eclipse Virtual IoT and Edge Native Day will be held on May 28, 2020 from 10:00 to 16:00 Eastern Daylight time. The theme for the day is "Our Open Source Ecosystem Means Business". Each of the talks we have focuses on real-world technology that you can use right away to build IoT and Edge Computing solutions.

I will have the pleasure to kick start the day with a session describing how you can leverage our most popular IoT and edge computing projects. I will also cover the latest developments in our three working groups.

Please visit the event's website for more details. See you on May 28!

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 ...

Eclipse ThreadX: Charting our course for 2025

On November 21, 2023, Microsoft announced that it was contributing Azure RTOS to the Eclipse Foundation, which gave birth to the Eclipse ThreadX project . Since then, the project team and Eclipse Foundation staff have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to transition ThreadX to a true community-driven open source project and ensure its continued certification for safety-critical applications. In this short post, I will review the major milestones of that first year and share what to expect from the team in 2025. ThreadX v6.4.1 On February 28, 2024, the ThreadX project released version 6.4.1 of ThreadX and its companion modules. This release, the first made under the Eclipse Foundation development process, completed the transition of ThreadX to open source. From a technical standpoint, there were no changes from the prior 6.4.0 release. And yet, v6.4.1 represents a significant milestone. The Eclipse Foundation intends to certify ThreadX v6.4.1 for safety-critical applications. Yo...

A Few Embedded and IoT Sessions Worth Your Time at OCX 2024

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the Eclipse Foundation . It also represents a brand-new start for our annual flagship conference. Its new name, Open Community Experience (OCX), emphasises our community's place in the broader open source ecosystem. The event will take place in Mainz, Germany, on October 22-24, 2024. OCX, as EclipseCon before, features several distinct tracks. One of them is dedicated to Embedded, IoT, and Edge Computing topics. If you look at the conference’s agenda , you will find them by activating the “OCX Tracks” filter. Click this link to access a pre-filtered version of the agenda. Not sure about which sessions to catch? See below the top five sessions I hope to attend. Of course, there are many other great ones, so please browse the full agenda. * How IoT can save a life - A real-world example October 23, 2024 11:30 AM-12:15 PM CET I love talks that showcase concretely how technology can make the world better.
