Oniro Blueprints for IoT devices

From open-source seeds to products


In the Eclipse Oniro project, a distributed OS for consumer electronics, we're proposing a collection of "blueprints" use cases and their implementations using embedded software on reference hardware.

Today, we are going to explain our motivations for the blueprints' approach and of course how to replicate and deploy firmware from sources and why Oniro can be flexible to create the device of your dream.

Oniro is an ambitious Eclipse project, one of its challenges is to defragment existing IoT ecosystems.

To target a bigger heterogeneous range of IoT devices, openness, flexibility, and interoperability, should be enabled at the Operating System level.

Since the beginning of this versatile OS development, a complementary blueprint concept was introduced to be more aligned with different aspects of the software and hardware industry.

Blueprints are standalone projects that are addressing specific uses cases by providing "semi final integration" that would make use of the underneath technology.

Those minimal viable products are not only used for demonstration or validation purposes, but they can serve as a base to create production-ready solutions. Blueprints also could inspire devices makers to address similar or more sophisticated use cases.

Today as we speak, our reference blueprints include a vending machine, an IoT gateway, a door lock, keypad and more.

The results of our work are going to be demonstrated and we will be presenting what is common and what differs.

Each of those achievements are targeting different uses case and different environments, but many steps can be factorized from building process, customization to security or IP compliance scanning.

Expect to see demos on how our Oniro project leverages other opensource projects like Yocto/OE Embedded distribution, Linux and Zephyr Kernel, LVGL UI toolkit, OpenThread mesh networking, Web of Things and more.
