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.
The ESP32 is a great way to get up and running quickly on Golioth. This article, and the accompanying video, walks through the process of provisioning an ESP32, installing the Zephyr RTOS toolchain, then loading and running your firmware.
What if your IoT firmware deployments happened automatically just by typing 'git push'? Lead Engineer Alvaro Viebrantz talks about a sample project that compiles and delivers firmware to eligible devices automatically using Golioth and GitHub Actions.
Watch Golioth showcase a Zephyr-based device running OpenThread and the Golioth SDK connecting to the internet via a Border Router. Golioth manages the connection and handles data going to and from the nRF52840 based node.
The ESP32 can be used as an AT modem. This approach makes it really easy to add an internet connection to devices that normally don't have one, like the Nordic nRF52840DK.
Firmware updates over cellular are a challenging task for embedded devices. In this blog and video, we show how Golioth, Zephyr, MCUboot, and the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 make it possible for hardware designs to receive secure and stable firmware releases.
Golioth Output Streams allow you to pipe every event happening on the Golioth backend out to the cloud of your choice. Exporting large volumes of data into external cloud platforms is now as easy as flipping a switch.
Golioth APIs enables hundreds of connected hardware devices to do firmware updates. Espressif's ESP32 now joins that group with their port of MCUboot to their platform. This post shows how to enable this open source bootloader.
