IOT1 Internet of Things (IOT) on Microcontrollers

Building low-power IOT devices using standard microcontrollers

Objectives
  • Introduce the IoT ecosystem
  • Learn how to deploy an local open source IoT Platform
  • Describe the most used IoT Edge to Cloud Protocols (MQTT, MQTT-SN and CoAP)
  • Explore particularly heinous IoT focused attacks and security provisions at each level of stack (physical devices, communication systems and networks)
  • Learn how to configure the LwIP (with MQTT), FreeRTOS and MbedTLS for an STM32 IoT application
  • Understand the architecture of the Amazon FreeRTOS IOT libraries
Labs will be conducted on STM32-based boards connected through WiFi or Ethernet to a private cloud server
