Firmware

Easily integrate the Golioth Firmware SDK into your next ESP-IDF project. This updated post shows how to implement v0.15.0 and beyond of the FW SDK into your projects.

Yesterday we released v0.16.0 of the Golioth Firmware SDK. This release introduces the Golioth Root X1 root CA certificate, which Golioth device services will start using 1 year from today.

Use Golioth cloud capabilities to trigger lower and lower power modes, then measure the output using a Joulescope.

As we previously wrote about, we attended the first Embedded World North America, held in Austin Texas...

Zephyr's west manifest system includes an allow-list to filter dependencies from upstream libraries (like the Zephyr tree itself). Use it to tightly control what libraries your projects use, and to stop checking out way too many unused code.

When it comes to automated testing, Zephyr's Native Simulator is worth your consideration. The next release of Zephyr will include offloaded sockets for Native Simulator, which means CI tests that complete many times faster than their native-hardware equivalents.

Golioth works with Qualcomm. The Golioth Firmware SDK, release 0.12.0, supports the Zephyr Modem subsystem. This enables support for more modem technologies, starting with Qualcomm, and support for the Quectel BG95 as a first class cellular modem.

Both Zephyr and Golioth have solutions for keeping track of multiple revisions of your hardware. Let's walk through how to tell Zephyr there is both a "Rev A" and "Rev B" of your hardware. We'll finish up by talking about how Golioth organizes OTA firmware updates for your different board revisions.
