Choosing and Using Your IoT Software

Architecture
When we put together an IoT system, we have a few options. Are we
going to build a full embedded system? Use a real-time OS? use
embedded Linux? What?
These are really good questions and are heavily dependent on the
application for your device. If the device has hard real-time constraints,
maybe embedded Linux isn't the best choice. If the board is custom, and
you can't easily reuse software for your system, you might be stuck
rolling your own. But in most cases today, embedded Linux is, at worst, a
strong option, and usually the right choice. It has robust tooling, doesn't
cost a fortune to support or build, and supports a wide range of
hardware. Using tools like Buildroot and Yocto make integrating
networking support and strong encryption much easier than they've
been in the past, too.
Okay, so you've decided to use embedded Linux. What then?
Well, we have lots of options. We need to decide how we're going to
package our system, how we're going to deploy it, and how we're going
to update it. How we're going to test it. How we're going to monitor it —
if we are. How we can debug problems on deployed devices. How we'll
handle errors.
And these don't even begin to discuss functionality yet.
We've established the system architecture at this point — we're using
embedded Linux. Communication is over TCP/IP (or perhaps some other
application-level protocol like HTTP). We're going to encrypt our traffic
(right?). But what about application architecture?
So when we look at architecture generally, we have a couple of sub-
disciplines. Here, we want to look at two in particular — application
architecture and technology architecture. Here, application architecture
is the logical architecture of the application — how components will be
partitioned, how they'll be used, that kind of thing. This differs from
design, which is much closer to coding the components. Technical
architecture outlines the technology we'll use and how that technology
maps onto the application. Some folks will tell you that the technology
doesn't ever impact the application architecture — those people are
wrong. The technology architecture will certainly have an impact on the
application architecture, as the application architecture will influence
the technology used. And it should — but don't go overboard.
You don't want to make these the same thing, after all. Application
architecture shouldn't change as much as the technologies used. You
should be able to bring new technology into your system as appropriate
based on the overall application architecture.
Next time, we'll start to go into how you do this, and start establishing
some common patterns you'll want to use.

IoT App Development: Impact, Challenges,

and Process
Mobile apps will be a point of connection for many
IoT devices, and in this article, we explore how to
build an IoT app of the future.
In a span of ten years, from 2020 to 2030, IoT devices will grow from 75 billion to more than
100 billion, and the improvement from 4G to 5G in terms of increasing IoT is most
important. Today's 4G network can support up to 5500 to 6000 NB-IOT devices on a single
cell.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology of the future that’s already becoming a reality.
Its possibilities for health, agriculture, manufacturing, and daily life are crazier than anything
a sci-fi writer of the last century could have imagined. Mobile apps will be a point of
connection for many IoT devices, and in this article, we explore how to build an IoT app of
the future.

Why Develop a Custom Internet of

Things Application?
The IoT market is significant, and it has something to offer to lots of other markets. It seems
like the Internet of Things devices will soon be all over, from wise cities and agricultural
fields to huge factories and people's houses and also cars.

In this write-up, we focus on consumer IoT since it's the location where mobile apps will be
most needed. In other sectors, for example, agriculture as well as enterprise business, IoT
devices may not require mobile interfaces. They can connect straight to the cloud or be
managed to make use of web applications.
