IOT1Internet 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
  • Familiarity with C concepts and programming targeting the embedded world
  • Basic knowledge of embedded processors
  • Basic knowledge of multi-task scheduling
  • Basic Concepts of Cryptography
  • Basic knowledge of STM32 microcontrollers
  • Convenient course material
  • Example code, labs and solutions
  • ARM-based target board (STM32)
  • Access to a private cloud server
  • Any embedded systems engineer or technician with the above prerequisites.
  • The prerequisites indicated above are assessed before the training by the technical supervision of the traineein his company, or by the trainee himself in the exceptional case of an individual trainee.
  • Trainee progress is assessed in two different ways, depending on the course:
    • For courses lending themselves to practical exercises, the results of the exercises are checked by the trainer while, if necessary, helping trainees to carry them out by providing additional details.
    • Quizzes are offered at the end of sections that do not include practical exercises to verifythat the trainees have assimilated the points presented
  • At the end of the training, each trainee receives a certificate attesting that they have successfully completed the course.
    • In the event of a problem, discovered during the course, due to a lack of prerequisites by the trainee a different or additional training is offered to them, generally to reinforce their prerequisites,in agreement with their company manager if applicable.
