How embedded Linux accelerates IoT development
Hunyue Yau
You’ll find that the quickest way to build components of an IoT ecosystem is to use embedded Linux, whether you’re augmenting existing devices or designing a new device or system from the beginning. A gateway would speak the low-power protocol to the sensors and would translate them to IP. A main requirement for an IoT device is connectivity, usually in the form of IP. In contrast, an embedded Linux implementation leverages hardware separation and a widely utilized IP stack that probably has been exposed to corner cases. Let’s look at an existing embedded Linux device.
