Soletta - Closing the IoT Development Gap

Explore the challenges and solutions in IoT development through this 58-minute conference talk by Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri from ProFUSION Embedded Systems. Dive into the world of Soletta, a software framework designed to bridge the gap between traditional embedded systems and the fast-paced demands of IoT development. Learn how Soletta addresses issues such as code reusability, knowledge transfer, and the shortage of skilled embedded systems engineers. Discover the framework's uniform API, accessible from C/C++ and JavaScript, and its implementation across multiple operating systems including Linux, Zephyr, Contiki, and RIoT. Gain insights into various aspects of IoT development, including sensors, networking protocols, updates, cryptography, and persistence. Explore the benefits of Soletta through practical examples, such as the FBP (Flow-Based Programming) model and a dialer application. Understand the framework's pros and cons, developer tools, and future plans. Whether you're an experienced embedded systems engineer or a newcomer from web and mobile app development, this talk offers valuable insights into streamlining IoT development processes and bridging the skills gap in the industry.
