How to Solve Tricky Embedded IoT Challenges with Insightful Analysis
Dig deeper into Amazon FreeRTOS and take a closer look at the communication stack for AWS IoT Core. Then learn how this communication can be analyzed using Percepio Tracealyzer, ensuring your system doesn’t generate unnecessary data traffic. We’ll present an example where two minor bugs sometimes coincided, causing the system to generate 10 times more data than expected, and how the cause of such issues can be identified.
Adding Secure Element Support Using AWS IoT Greengrass Hardware Security Integration (HSI)
Internet of Things (IoT) gateways enabled with AWS IoT Greengrass connect to the AWS IoT Core service. Here, we explore the AWS IoT Greengrass security framework using AWS IoT Greengrass Hardware Security Integration (HSI) and how it works with secure elements. Learn how to couple Just in Time Registration (JITR) or Just in Time Provisioning (JITP), and how to implement the secure element from APN Partner Microchip Technology leveraging AWS IoT Greengrass HSI.
Tuning Your Amazon FreeRTOS Application for Maximum Performance
By their very nature, embedded applications have to be very tightly written because the microcontrollers used in embedded designs are very resource-constrained. When companies build embedded applications that work with AWS, they look to IAR Systems to provide highly-optimized development tools. In this post, we discuss how IAR Systems provides not only the tools but the insights to help customers deliver optimized products faster leveraging Amazon FreeRTOS.
Tracing Amazon FreeRTOS on NXP LPC54018
In this post, the first in an APN Blog series about Amazon FreeRTOS development for AWS IoT Core, we go through the setup required for running the Amazon FreeRTOS application, how it works on a high level, and how to connect it to AWS IoT Core. We will also present Percepio Tracealyzer, a tool for debugging the real-time behavior of Amazon FreeRTOS applications, together with a real-world example where Tracealyzer was used to analyze a connectivity issue I encountered when getting started with this project.
Analyzing the Run-Time Behavior of an AWS IoT Device
SEGGER is an APN Standard Technology Partner and provides solutions for secure communication as well as data and product security, meeting the needs of the rapidly evolving Internet of IoT market. In this post, you will see what your IoT devices really do when they connect to and use AWS IoT. With SEGGER’s analysis tools, we show how to track down and solve hard-to-find, timing-related issues and demonstrate how to visualize and analyze what happens in your firmware.
