Chris is the Head of Developer Relations and Hardware at Golioth. Focusing on hardware and developer relations at that software company means that he is trying to be in the shoes of a hardware or firmware developer using Golioth every day. He does that by building hardware and reference designs that Golioth customers can use to bootstrap their own designs.
Have you ever wanted to bypass slack and send a meme directly to your co-worker's desk? This hack day project builds on top of work from 2022 and pulls in some new features of Golioth's IoT platform, as well as some vibe coded front end / back end work to make the experience smoother. Dive into each part of the project in this blog and associated video.
Bundling data to send when a device is no longer generating new events is an efficient way to operate a low power Bluetooth device. This post explores how to use Zephyr RTOS components to easily wait until a device is idle to start transmitting using Golioth Pouch.
Golioth Connectivity enables Bluetooth devices to 'roam' between gateways out of the box. This post and video explain how Golioth enables Bluetooth fleets to securely connect to the cloud through standard gateways.
This demo shows a full end-to-end encrypted Over-The-Air (OTA) Firmware Update for a Bluetooth Device from the Cloud using Golioth's Pouch capabilities and . The demo also utilizes the accelerometer and LED matrix of the Tikk board to activate the OTA and display progress throughout the download.
Debugging a Zephyr program with GDB can be tough for newcomers, especially if they're used to more vertically integrated IDE solutions. Let's get hardware engineers (and others!) started digging into a command-line based solution.
Use Golioth Connectivity to create Bluetooth-enabled Digital Signage fleets. This demo shows how you can create an LED matrix that shows different informational callouts. We also show how you can easily provision a new device onto your fleet with certificates.
