Eclipse IoT demo at FOSDEMEclipse IoT demo at FOSDEM

During the weekend of February 1st, I had the opportunity to attend FOSDEM in Brussels.

It was only my second year but it’s definitely one of the events I enjoy attending the most: the crowd is very diverse and very curious, there are tons of talks that you can attend (if you can get a seat in the room – most of them are simply overcrowded), and the Belgian food is yummy!

I spent most of the weekend on the Eclipse Foundation booth where together with Mike and Julien, we were showing Eclipse IoT technologies live.

We’ve been asked several times what were the details of the setup and where one could find the source code, so here they are, with links to Github repos and gists:

  • A bunch of sensors attached to an Arduino, with a very basic sketch dumping sensor data to the serial port,
  • A BeagleBone Black running  Eclipse Orion and a very simple NodeJS app that uses MQTT.js for communicating with the Mosquitto broker that is hosted on iot.eclipse.org,
  • And last but not least, an Android Nexus 10 tablet that runs an augmented-reality app for displaying real sensor values in a pretty cool way 😉

Check out this cool 3-min video by 101blog (thanks again for the impromptu interview!) of the aforementioned setup in action.

Webinar Anyware Technologies/Ingres

A noter dans vos agendas !

logo anywareLe 19 mars, à 16h30, je co-animerai avec Vincent Ducrohet de la société Ingres, un webinar destiné à présenter Eclipse (tant l’atelier de développement que la plateforme), le SGBD Open Source Ingres, et les utilisations qui peuvent être faites de ces deux technologies.

Un cas d’utilisation concret d’Eclipse pour la réalisation d’une application métier (plateforme d’analyse et visualisation de données d’observations satellite) sera également exposé sous forme d’une démonstration.

C’est gratuit, et les inscriptions se passent ici !

Android/ARM, ce n’était pas qu’une rumeur !

NEWS_12761_efe5958f648c872affa3ff3d3d9d079b.jpgARM a bel et bien montré ce matin, lors du salon World Mobile Congress à Barcelone, une démo d’Android sur son processeur ARM-9 (qui n’est pas son tout dernier processeur, mais c’est tout aussi bien puisque cela veut dire qu’Android pourra tourner sur des mobiles d’ancienne génération !).

Les journalistes rapportent que l’interface était particulièrement réactive.
Pour information, l’architecture ARM9 équipe entre autres les Nintendo DS, les Nokia N-Gage, et les Chumby ! 😉

Le téléphone est très moche, mais on s’en fiche. Et c’est après tout normal, puisqu’ARM est avant tout un fondeur, et pas un fabriquant de mobiles!

L’intégration a été menée assez loin, puisqu’on voit enfin tourner des fonctionnalités qui jusqu’alors ne fonctionnaient que sur le papier et/ou étaient “simulées” dans l’émulateur fourni par Google : webcam, accès Internet, téléphone, …
