FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system for small, low-power devices. AWS maintains stewardship of the FreeRTOS kernel, a free and open operating system for microcontrollers that embedded developers have trusted and evolved for more than fifteen years. In the eighteen months that AWS has maintained the FreeRTOS project, we’ve updated it to use an MIT […]

Editor Note: This post is co-authored by Gong Xinyue, one of Global Accounts Solution Architects. You might already know how to use AWS IoT Core and AWS IoT Greengrass for remote device communication and control. With AWS IoT Greengrass Machine Learning (ML) Inference, you can run machine learning models on your local devices without any […]

When managing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data, it can be challenging to collect and send this data to the cloud for processing and advanced analytics (for example, to predict quality or equipment failure). There might be many different devices on a manufacturing floor, each with its own protocol. In this blog post, we discuss […]

Canonical and AWS have collaborated to offer AWS IoT Greengrass as snap, a containerized software package that can run on a variety of Linux distributions. The combination of AWS IoT Greengrass and Ubuntu Core provides IoT developers with a fast path from development to production for their secure device. The AWS IoT Greengrass snap, available […]

In this blog post, I will show you how you can use AWS CloudFormation to set up AWS IoT Greengrass quickly and in a repeatable manner. I will discuss the AWS IoT Greengrass resource types and how they are related to a Greengrass group deployment. I will also demonstrate a deployment that uses an AWS […]

An IoT solution requires managing a large number of devices, usually hundreds of thousands or millions. When you start to work at a large scale, you need to keep your fleet protected by continuously checking if it is following security best practices. It can be challenging for organizations to audit all devices and automatically remediate […]

In this blog post, we’ll show you how to use new capabilities of AWS IoT Device Management fleet indexing. Starting now, you can use aggregation queries in conjunction with AWS Lambda and Amazon CloudWatch to automate fleet monitoring. When managing Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it can be challenging to monitor the state of the […]
