Golioth released Firmware SDK v0.18.0 which pulls in the recent changes from upstream Zephyr, nRF Connect SDK, and ESP-IDF repositories. We are also introducing new gateway support, adding new supported boards, and improving blockwise transfers.
Today marks the first implementation of running the entire Golioth firmware stack on a modem processor. This dramatically reduces resource consumption on the external MCU processor, and makes it easier to add Golioth to any hardware or platform.
Today we are launching Golioth Location in private access. This service offers network positioning functionality, allowing devices to leverage the same radios (e.g. cellular and Wi-Fi) used for communicating with Golioth to obtain location information. Doing so may extend battery life, reduce hardware costs, and enable more rapid acquisition of a device’s position.
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.
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.
