Description

RIOT serves as the backbone for the Internet of Things in a similar way to how Linux supports the broader Internet. Developed by an enthusiastic global community that includes companies, academic institutions, and hobbyists, RIOT is a free and open source operating system. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of low-power IoT devices and microcontroller architectures, including 32-bit, 16-bit, and 8-bit systems, as well as various external devices. The primary goal of RIOT is to uphold essential open standards that foster a connected, secure, resilient, and privacy-conscious Internet of Things. It features strong security measures such as DTLS for transport layer security, encryption via IEEE 802.15.4, Secure Firmware Updates (SUIT), and a suite of cryptographic packages alongside crypto secure elements. Furthermore, RIOT's modular design allows it to be customized according to specific application requirements. The project maintains compatibility with all widely used network technologies and Internet standards, demonstrating a commitment to innovation and often being an early adopter in the field of networking. Overall, RIOT represents a collaborative effort to shape a secure and efficient IoT landscape.

Description

The advent of containers is set to transform the landscape of connected devices, with balenaOS standing out as the premier solution for their deployment. Designed to endure challenging networking scenarios and sudden power losses, it is a stripped-down version of Linux that includes only the essential services for running Docker efficiently on embedded hardware. Built on the foundation of Yocto Linux, it allows for seamless adaptation across a wide range of device types and CPU architectures. The project is actively maintained in a transparent manner, fostering a community that is encouraged to contribute. In our initiative to create balenaCloud—a platform that integrates modern software development tools with connected hardware—we began by adapting Docker for ARM processors in 2013. This experience highlighted the necessity for a dedicated operating system tailored to this specific use case: a lightweight OS perfectly suited for executing containers on embedded devices. Furthermore, this focus on optimization ensures that developers can maximize the potential of their connected solutions.
