Bento Gonçalves, 9500, CP 15064, Porto Alegre CEP: 91501-970, Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The development of constrained devices for the internet of things (IoT) presents lots of challenges to software developers who build applications on top of these devices. Many applications in this domain have severe non-functional requirements related to timing properties, which are important concerns that have to be handled. By using real-time operating systems (RTOSs), developers have greater productivity, as they provide native support for real-time properties handling. Some of the key points in the software development for IoT in these constrained devices, like task synchronisation and network communications, are already solved by this provided real-time support. However, different RTOSs offer different degrees of support to the different demanded real-time properties. Observing this aspect, this study presents a set of benchmark tests on the selected open source and proprietary RTOSs focused on the IoT. The benchmark results show that there is no clear winner, as each RTOS performs well at least on some criteria, but general conclusions can be drawn on the suitability of each of them according to their performance evaluation in the obtained results.

  • Operating in a New Environment
    EMBEDDED DESIGN OPERATING SYSTEMS lthough the concept of the IoT was Ioated around the turn of the Millennium, it is A only recently that the approach has gathered significant momentum. But, because it is a blanket term, IoT is not only being applied to large and small applications alike, it is also being applied in a wide range of end markets. With such a spread, it will come as no surprise to discover that one size does not fit all when it comes to operating systems. At the high end of the market, companies like Intel are vying to provide a complete solution. Alongside its processor technology, Intel can integrate Wind River’s VxWorks operating system and McAfee security software to create a system capable of handling high levels of complexity. But those developing wearable devices, for example, may not want to take advantage of such a system; they may well be looking for an OS that runs in a very small footprint but, nonetheless, offers a range of Operating in a new necessary features while consuming minimal amounts of power. ARM has had its eyes on the sector for some time and, last year, rolled out environment a significant extension to its mbed programme. Previously, mbed was an embedded development community The Internet of Things is posing challenges to OS developers. with ambitions similar to those of Arduino and Raspberry Pi. But mbed How are they responding? By Graham Pitcher. now has a much bigger vision – the IoT. As part of this approach, it is creating mbed OS (see fig 1).

RIOT runs on minimal memory in the operating systems are required on low-end devices to ease devel- order of ≈10kByte, and can run on devices with neither MMU opment and portability of IoT applications. RIOT is a prominent (memory management unit) nor MPU (memory protection free and open source operating system in this space. In this paper, we provide the first comprehensive overview of RIOT. We cover unit). The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the key components of interest to potential developers and users: RIOT, both from the operating system point of view, and from the kernel, hardware abstraction, and software modularity, both an open source software and ecosystem point of view. conceptually and in practice for various example configurations. We explain operational aspects like system boot-up, timers, power Prior work [28], [29] has surveyed the space of operating management, and the use of networking. Finally, the relevant APIs as exposed by the operating system are discussed along systems for low-end IoT devices.

  • A Comparative Study Between Operating Systems (Os) for the Internet of Things (Iot)
    VOLUME 5 NO 4, 2017 A Comparative Study Between Operating Systems (Os) for the Internet of Things (IoT) Aberbach Hicham, Adil Jeghal, Abdelouahed Sabrim, Hamid Tairi LIIAN, Department of Mathematic & Computer Sciences, Sciences School, Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Abstract : We describe The Internet of Things (IoT) as a network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data in real time with the outside world. It therefore assumes an operating system (OS) which is considered as an unavoidable point for good communication between all devices “objects”. For this purpose, this paper presents a comparative study between the popular known operating systems for internet of things . In a first step we will define in detail the advantages and disadvantages of each one , then another part of Interpretation is developed, in order to analyze the specific requirements that an OS should satisfy to be used and determine the most appropriate .This work will solve the problem of choice of operating system suitable for the Internet of things in order to incorporate it within our research team. Keywords: Internet of things , network, physical object ,sensors,operating system. 1 Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is the vision of interconnecting objects, users and entities “objects”. Much, if not most, of the billions of intelligent devices on the Internet will be embedded systems equipped with an Operating Systems (OS) which is a system programs that manage computer resources whether tangible resources (like memory, storage, network, input/output etc.) or intangible resources (like running other computer programs as processes, providing logical ports for different network connections etc.), So it is the most important program that runs on a computer[1].

  • RTFM-Core: Language and Implementation
    RTFM-core: Language and Implementation Per Lindgren, Marcus Lindner and Andreas Lindner David Pereira and Luís Miguel Pinho Luleå University of Technology CISTER / INESC TEC, ISEP Email:{per.lindgren,marcus.lindner,andreas.lindner}@ltu.se Email: {dmrpe,lmp}@isep.ipp.pt Abstract—Robustness, real-time properties and resource effi- In this paper we present an alternative approach, based on ciency are key properties to embedded devices of the CPS/IoT a reactive programming model taking the outset of tasks and era. In this paper we propose a language approach RTFM- resources. The generic task/resource model can be summarized core, and show its potential to facilitate the development process as follows: each task is: associated to a priority and a triggering and provide highly efficient and statically verifiable implemen- event; is run-to-completion (without any notion of waiting tations. Our programming model is reactive, based on the for additional events); and may pend other events arbitrarily familiar notions of concurrent tasks and (single-unit) resources. The language is kept minimalistic, capturing the static task, (this can be seen as requesting asynchronous execution of communication and resource structure of the system. Whereas the corresponding task). A resource may be claimed for the C-source can be arbitrarily embedded in the model, and/or duration of a critical section of a task in a LIFO (hierarchical) externally referenced, the instep to mainstream development is manner (i.e., enforcing nested critical sections). minimal, and a smooth transition of legacy code is possible. A prototype compiler implementation for RTFM-core is presented. This model coincides with the notion of tasks and resources The compiler generates C-code output that compiled together used in the context of the Stack Resource Policy (SRP)[1].
