• Delivering Open Source�� M2M enablers


§ Wikipedia says:

2

Machine-to-Machine (M2M)

[…] technologies that allow both wireless and wired systems to communicate with other devices of the same ability.


M2M application example


§  The market is fragmented Hardware, software, protocols…

all different, independent Lack of integration…

between devices, to enterprise systems

§ M2M development is complex Many different skills required…

Hardware, Embedded, IT network, Telecom, web No common architectural guidelines

§ Current options are closed Monolithic solutions…

device specific, app specific, market specific

Proprietary SDKs, protocols, potential vendor lock-in

State of the Union


Creation of an Open Ecosystem for M2M


6

Koneki project

providing M2M solutions developers with tools easing the development, simulation, testing/debugging and deployment of such solutions


Open M2M Tools


§ Created in May 2011 § Initial contribution

§  IDE for Lua developers

§ Earlier this year §  OMA-DM simulator

§ Joining Juno release train!

Timeline


What is available

Lua Development Tools

Data model

Data model editor

OMA-DM simulator

OMA-DM client


Lua on

Steroids


??? What is

Lua all about


“Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable

scripting language.”

http://www.lua.org/about.html


Extending C/C++ applications with a configuration / scripting engine

Rationale



§  Based on a virtual machine

§  Can load source code / read char streams

§  And compile it into portable bytecode

Rationale



§  Tiny core (150kB)

§  Pure ANSI C

§  Simple C API

Rationale



§  DSL building kit

§  Provides only basic features

§  And a powerful runtime

Rationale


Gaining momentum

§ Video games §  World of Warcraft

§  Havoc physics engine

§  AI scripting

§ Mobile §  Corona SDK

§  Moai

§  LÖVE

§ App scripting §  Adobe Lightroom

§  Redis (key-value store)

§ Embedded §  Brew MP

(Qualcomm)

§  eLua (Petrobras)

§  AAF (Sierra Wireless)


??? What is

missing


IDE support


http://www.eclipse.org/koneki/ldt/


Lua strengths §  Dynamic §  Embeddable

are double-edged swords

that make tooling support tedious.

Tooling for Lua? Tricky!


LDT for Lua development


LDT for m2m development


m2m.eclipse.org MQTT broker

Wireless gateway Mobile phone

Wireless (Zigbee) sensors


§ Embedded

Aleos Application Framework

Collects Zigbee data on device’s serial port

Publishes MQTT messages

§ Mobile

Corona SDK .

Subscribes to MQTT messages

Displays sensor data with a fancy UI

Two Lua applications

§ OMA Device Management is an XML-based protocol used to manage (provisioning, configuration, SW upgrade, …) mobile devices

OMA-DM simulator


§ Koneki provides: §  An OMA-DM client,

§  An interactive simulator allowing to synchronize the nodes and values of a local management tree with a remote OMA-DM server

§ It allows developers to easily visualize complex OMA-DM communication scenarios, including SW/FW updates

OMA-DM simulator


§ More tools §  Code generation

§  Bandwidth estimation

§ An actual embedded M2M framework? §  Device & Connectivity management

§  Application management
