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.
IoT devices have the potential to generate a LOT of data. That’s kind of the point, right? You have a fleet spread out among a geographic area, or factory, or warehouse, or wherever you’re trying to measure data and you pipe it all back to the internet to collate that data for use elsewhere. How […]
Golioth introduced a new CircuitPython SDK to allow engineers to quickly prototype hardware that can talk to the Golioth cloud. By clicking “save” and having their CircuitPython recompile on the fly, they can try new hardware quickly and efficiently.
The new WebSockets feature on Golioth allows users to stream data out to external services, such as visualization platforms and web apps. This includes showing “real-time” data from sources on embedded devices, such as sensors. Let’s look at how these are different than previous offerings. What is a WebSocket? A WebSocket is a persistent connection […]
Team members Lachlan and Chris discuss an implementation of a Rust code sample with Golioth and the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160. There is a demo of the code working in the video attached below. What is Rust? Rust is a high-level, general-purpose programming language, syntactically similar to C and C++. It is fast and memory-efficient and […]
Note: The arduino-sdk repository showcased in this post is deprecated. GoliothLabs has two experimental repositories that may work as replacements: Golioth ESP-IDF with Arduino as a component Golioth PlatformIO/Arduino Demo In this post and associated video, we’re talking about interfacing hardware to Golioth using popular tools like PlatformIO and Arduino Core (API). Alvaro shows how […]
Golioth tags make large deployments more manageable, offering different insights into where and how IoT devices can be accessed and updated.
Troubleshooting high complexity systems like Zephyr requires more thorough tools. Menuconfig allows users to see the layers of their system and adjust settings without requiring a complete system recompilation. Zephyr expert Marcin shows how he uses this tool for troubleshooting.
