The Eclipse IoT Working Group is a collaboration of industry and academic partners who are building a set of open source technology that will be the foundation for the Internet of Things (IoT). The focus of the collaboration is on building 1) open source implementations of IoT standards and protocols, 2) open source frameworks and services that will be used by IoT solutions, and 3) tools for IoT developers. This wiki page tracks the activities of the working group.
The iot.eclipse.org web site is intended to be the source of information for people who want to use the Eclipse IoT technology.
Eclipse zenoh provides is a stack designed to (1) minimize network overhead, (2) support extremely constrained devices, (3) supports devices with low duty-cycle by allowing the negotiation of data exchange modes and schedules, (4) provide a rich set of abstraction for distributing, querying and storing data along the entire system, and (5) provide extremely low latency and high throughput.
IoT is a multi-faceted topic, seen by many as a much-needed redefinition of embedded computing. The efficiency and performance of current CPUs, along with a decreasing footprint, enable broader products and solutions across multiple domains, such as home, industrial automation, environment, agriculture, transportation, safety, security, control systems, robotics, wireless sensor networks, and wearables. Sensing devices manifest in various categories and applications.
Conceived in 2014, the Eclipse MRAA project aimed to deliver a high-level, easy-to-use set of APIs for I/O access on Linux* boards and systems, similar to Arduino* offerings for MCU boards. At the time, the project targeted support for platforms such as Intel® Galileo, Intel® Edison and Raspberry Pi* boards, highly popular among IoT enthusiasts and makers.
