OpenIoT & ELC Europe 2016

Linux and Zephyr are two Open Source operating systems that are seemingly targeted to different problem areas. I'm going to present how they complement each other in a way that makes building next generation IoT systems easy. The biggest problem with IoT devices is how device cost is a crucial factor, and that in turn requires parts (especially flash and uCs) that are relative expensive. IoT systems require network connectivity, cloud and app UIs and much more. In those cases Linux is a good fit when running on mains power.
Using a Linux gateway controlling Zephyr IoT nodes makes perfect sense and I will present exactly how this is possible by a novel Linux sensor bus remote access solution that cuts down on the software stack requirements on the Zephyr IoT node.
