Case Study for Embedded Microservices IoT Platform
This case study explores the design and development of an embedded Linux-based microservices platform for
IoT communication.
Embedded Microservices IoT Platform
The platform utilizes D-Bus for inter-service communication, leverages a multi-programming
model with C++ and Python, and employs Yocto for build and packing. Firmware OTA ensures seamless updates
The embedded Linux microservices
platform runs on microcontrollers from
various families including ESP32, nRF, and iMX. These devices are equipped with essential functionalities like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stacks.
Cloud Communication
For communication with
cloud services, the
platform utilizes MQTT
and WebSockets
protocols.
Mobile Integration
Mobile applications
integrated with the
firmware via BLE
provide remote control
and data transfer
capabilities.
OTA Updates
Firmware Over-the-Air
(OTA) updates ensure
the platform remains
up-to-date and
functional.
1. Embedded firmware enhances IoT device functionality, security, and cost-efficiency.
2. It enables seamless device operation through hardware interaction, improved visibility by 60%.
3. The IoT Devices are managed and monitored better and instant support to the end users. The cost of maintenance and visits reduced to 50%.
4. OTA updates ensure continuous improvement, bug fixes cycles and cost is reduced by 70%.
5. This modular approach simplifies code management, reduces development time, and facilitates collaboration,
allowing seamless integration of new functionalities.
