Building an IoT-class Device - Design, Planning, and Implementation

Learn how to design, plan, and create a basic IoT device in this 34-minute tutorial from the Linux Foundation. Explore the high-level architecture and dive into practical aspects such as hardware and software component selection, secure design, and handling sensitive data. Follow a working methodology and step-by-step guide to build a foundation for further customization and development. Discover the process of choosing appropriate hardware and distribution, configuring the distro, designing the application, and integrating sensors and actuators. Examine a practical example that addresses pain points, software updates, extra security measures, and interoperability. Gain insights from Igor Stoppa, a software engineer at Intel with extensive experience in IoT devices, test automation, and system software development.
