Porting Ubuntu Core 18 on Nvidia Jetson TX1 Developer Kit

Internet of Things Tutorials

The forecast is robots

Internet of Things Article

Robots are an increasingly important part of our lives, in more ways than we realise. I’m not talking just about Roombas, or the toy robots that inhabit the wish lists of the world’s children (and the young at heart).

Creating multi-purpose hardware with IoT app stores

Internet of Things Article

The traditional approach to IoT requires customised hardware and kernels with a monolithic software image being flashed at the manufacturing stage leaving devices static. This renders devices unable to evolve functionality and subject to unmitigated security risks. A new software defined IoT approach helps produce multi-purpose hardware w ...
