Running an Undersea, Robotic Laboratory on a Fixed Energy Budget - Brent Roman, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute

The Environmental Sampler Processor (ESP) performs a variety of chemical and genetic assays on samples it takes directly from its position moored 2 to 30 meters underwater. This Linux controlled "lab in a can" was developed to identify health hazards, such as toxic algae blooms, in hours rather than days or weeks.

Initially, energy consumed by the main microprocessor and radio communications limited the duration of deployments to about 30 days. Fitfully, over the course of the last 10 years, the system's hardware, software, firmware, and requirements have evolved to reduce energy use such that year long deployments have recently became possible. The greatest energy savings were achieved with a holistic approach that is readily applicable to many other remote (IOT) devices.

JerryScript: An Ultra-lightweight JavaScript Engine for the Internet of Things - Tilmann Scheller, Samsung Electronics

JerryScript is a lightweight JavaScript engine designed to bring the success of JavaScript to small IoT devices like lamps, thermometers, switches and sensors. This class of devices tends to use resource-constrained microcontrollers which are too small to fit a large JavaScript engine like V8 or JavaScriptCore.
JerryScript is heavily optimized for low memory consumption and runs on platforms with less than 64KB of RAM and less than 200KB of flash memory. Despite the low footprint, JerryScript is a full-featured JavaScript engine implementing the entire ECMAScript 5.1 standard. It is actively used in production and runs already on hundreds of thousands of smartwatches!
JerryScript is an open source project and has been released under the Apache License 2.0.
The talk will include a demo showing JavaScript code executing on top of JerryScript on a resource-constrained microcontroller.

Soletta: Closing the IoT Development Gap - Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri, ProFUSION Embedded Systems

The IoT development has a gap: it's addressed as a traditional embedded system while market expectations require much more fast paced development and deployment cycles, including continuous software and hardware updates. The small number of highly skilled embedded systems engineers can't cover the broader spectrum of products; newcomers from Web and Phone applications struggle to understand the low level details and nuances. All in all it's very hard to reuse your code and knowledge across different systems!

Meet Soletta: a software framework designed to close that gap. From sensors to networking protocols with all that's needed to support products, such as update, crypto, persistence and more! The knowledge and code can be reused as those are exposed in an uniform API accessible from C/C++ and JavaScript, implemented for multiple Operating Systems: Linux, Zephyr, Contiki and RIoT.

Drones Still Going Open Source - Julien Beraud, Parrot

Parrot Drones are all running Linux with a proprietary firmware but the fact that it is built on top of a Linux kernel and runs entirely on Linux makes it very easy to replace by an open source firmware. After ArduPilot has been ported on the Bebop and then Bebop 2, a key feature was still missing, the ability to capture and stream video. Julien will present the progresses that have been made about how to enable video streaming and recording with a firmware based on ArduPilot as a flight stack and will also talk about the new open source projects around Parrot Drones.

Audio on Linux: The End of a Golden Age? - Lars-Peter Clausen, Analog Devices

For the last 5-6 years consumer audio on Linux has a enjoyed a golden age. For new hardware chances were good that audio was working out of the box. This was the result of a combination of mostly standardized hardware and a mature software system. But due to changes in technology and market demand the hardware architecture has been rapidly changing recently.

This talk will start by looking at the history of the consumer audio support on Linux with a particular focus on the ALSA framework and related infrastructure. It will look at the major steps in the evolution of the hardware architectures, what triggered them and how they were accommodated on the software side. It will analyse why things worked so well in the recent past and then present an outlook into the future and the upcoming challenges that need to be addressed and present some potential solutions.

A More Open Trust Protocol - Christian Brindley, Symantec

After a quick review of recent IOT security debacles of past years, and more recent progress toward IoT Security by organizations such as the AllSeen Alliance, Open Connectivity Foundation, and the Industrial Internet Consortia, this talk will provide a developer-oriented deep dive on a new protocol developed in collaboration between ARM and two Global 2,000 companies along with other stakeholders. This new protocol aims to make it easier for developers to leverage hardware-backed security. Hardware-backed security comes in many forms, TPM, TEE, HSM SOC, ASIC and more. The protocol is first demonstrated in a TEE context, but could relatively easily be applied to other hardware-backed security architectures.

Demystifying Systemd for Embedded Systems - Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri, ProFUSION Embedded Systems

Embedded systems often have great goals such as fast boot and reliable execution, management and isolation of services. However due lack of understanding, some myths and great deal of FUD they go with custom hackish implementations based on shell scripts and sysvinit-like replacements like busybox.

This presentation will cover experiences to slim down systemd footprint by disabling its components in order to compare apples-to-apples, then show how systemd scales up in a nice linear way, while alternatives start to barf when many components must be put together to cover networking, timed tasks, logging, dynamic device behavior and services babysitting and isolation.

The presentation concludes why Ostro Project decided to mandate systemd in this distribution targeted at Internet of Things.

Anatomy of Cross-Compilation Toolchains - Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons

All embedded Linux developers use cross-compilation toolchains as part of their daily work. However, few of them really understand precisely what it is, what it contains, how it is organized, how it is created, and the numerous variants and configurations of available cross-compilation toolchains (different ABIs, FPUs, versions, etc.).

Through this talk, we will dissect cross-compilation toolchains, identify the different components, discuss the build process of a cross-compilation toolchain, and the different configuration options and how they affect the user of the cross-compilation toolchain.

Continuous Integration and Autotest Environment Using Fuego - Kenji Tadano & Kengo Ibe, Mitsubishi Electric

LTSI (Long Time Support Initiative) launched a Jenkins-based Test Automation Project: "Fuego". In ELCE 2015, we have presented it that is known as "LTSI Test Project" at that time, and shared how to customize the framework. Now Fuego is also used in AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) project and get more attention from many developers. To develop stable commercial products rapidly, it is necessary to have a common environment that can be used for testing and releasing Linux kernel automatically. We are developing such an environment using Fuego. Also, we sorted out how to utilize OSS test suites such as LTP on Fuego for ensuring the quality. To use Fuego effectively, we will share how to develop continuous integration and autotest environment and utilize OSS test suites, based on our experience.

Using Greybus for IoT - Alexandre Bailon, BayLibre

Greybus is a RPC like protocol on top UniPro bus that has been designed for the Project ARA. The Project ARA aim to develop a modular smartphone.
Greybus gives the ability to the host to control remotely the buses (such as i2c or spi) of the modules.
After spending some time on project ARA, Alexandre Bailon though that it would be awesome to use it outside of project ARA, as a general purpose protocol.
So he updated Greybus to work with TCP/IP (instead of UniPro) in order to use it for IoT.
He will give an overview of the Greybus protocol, explain how to use it and
he will present the benefits to use it for IoT as well the cons.
