Hardware

We continue to showcase seamless Thread support on Golioth. We used the ESP32-C6 development board from Espressif, demonstrating how we successfully connected it to Golioth over OpenThread using ESP-IDF with minimal changes to our Firmware SDK.

This is a story of the complexities of cellular connectivity, the perils of closed ecosystems, and how to debug what you cannot see.

This post highlights moving code from one Zephyr project to another and all the considerations for code portability.

Golioth demonstrates one approach to provisioning IoT devices during manufacturing. Learn some of the challenges you will face with flashing test firmware, generating and passing x.509 certificates to the devices, and using OTA to load final production firmware.

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.

We regularly refer Golioth users to our trusted Design Partners to help design, test, and deploy hardware out into the world. The Golioth Design Partner program has been going for more than 2 years and continues growing. In 2025, we reached 20 listed partners, with others in the wings.

The Thingy:91 X is an upgrade to the original Thingy:91 which enables new features like WiFi, additional sensors, upgraded memory partitions, and new connectors to make extensibility a breeze. Best of all, it already works on Golioth!

Your ESP32-C3 can act as a secondary modem for any type of primary processor. This post shows how to program and utilize the ESP-AT default firmware.
