IoT Update Management: Stay Ahead of Security Risks

Internet of Things (IOT) technology has become an integral part of our lives, powering everything from smart homes to advanced business operations. With 18 billion connected IoT devices projected by the end of 2024, its importance is undeniable. But while IoT opens doors to innovation, replacing these devices can be expensive. That’s where IoT Update Management comes into play—ensuring your devices stay secure, functional, and cost-effective over time.

IoT Device Management: Definition, Process And Software

Did you know that by 2030, the number of IoT (Internet of Things) devices is expected to reach a staggering 40 billion? To put that into perspective, that’s nearly double the 16 billion connected devices reported in 2023. This explosive growth is transforming industries, but it also raises a critical question: how do we efficiently manage such a vast and growing network of devices? If we think about how businesses do it, the answer is clear: with comprehensive IoT Device Management.

WSL2 for Firmware Development

This guide provides instructions for setting up an environment for developing, debugging, and programming embedded systems firmware in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). WSL2 provides a convenient and stable Linux development environment for working on embedded systems firmware. If you’re curious about toolchain performance, check out this comparison of firmware development environments, but the summary is that WSL2 is about 2x the speed of Windows and similar to “bare metal” Linux.

Maximizing IIoT Impact with Open Data, AI, and Advanced Analytics: A Comprehensive Guide

This tech paper was created by IIoT World and InfluxDB. This post was originally published on IIoT World. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is revolutionizing industries like manufacturing, energy, and logistics by creating more intelligent, interconnected systems that elevate productivity and efficiency. With IIoT, machines, systems, and sensors are linked in real-time, streamlining industrial automation and making predictive maintenance a reality—all while reducing downtime and costs.

How to Transition from nRF5 SDK to Zephyr NCS Lessons from Ultrahuman's Journey

At Ultrahuman, innovation is at the core of everything we do. Our health devices, powered by the nRF52840 SoC for BLE functionality, rely on Nordic Semiconductor’s renowned wireless technology. For years, the nRF5 SDK was the cornerstone of firmware development for these chipsets, but in 2018, Nordic introduced the nRF-Connect SDK(NCS), built on Zephyr RTOS, signaling a new era for BLE applications.

Complete Guide to Azure IoT Hub: Pricing, Features & More

Azure IoT Hub enables you to monitor on-prem devices down to the smallest temperature change and react accordingly from cloud device commands. But how does it work? What other features does Azure IoT have? And, most importantly, how much does it cost? Learn all you need to know about Azure IoT Hub from our expert guide.

IoT Device Lifecycle Management: Definition and Key Stages

IoT Device Lifecycle Management might sound like a mouthful, but it’s the secret sauce behind keeping the ever-growing world of connected devices running smoothly. From smart thermostats to industrial sensors, IoT devices are transforming how we live and work. But managing them is no small feat — especially with the number of global IoT connections expected to more than double from 15.9 billion in 2023 to over 32.1 billion by 2030 (Statista, 2023).

The future of Bluetooth connectivity for device makers with Simon Ford, Founder at Blecon

Join Memfault CEO François Baldassari and CTO Chris Coleman as they talk to Simon Ford, Founder at Blecon, about all things Bluetooth. They talk about the features of Bluetooth, when it's a good choice for your device and how to get started developing Bluetooth-connected devices.

A Dynamic Duo for Complex Embedded Environments

The world of embedded systems evolves, with devices growing ever more sophisticated and software-centric. In this new landscape, with highly interconnected environments that defy traditional testing and debugging approaches, a reactive, fire-fighting mentality is no longer sufficient. Developers need a proactive strategy to gain continuous visibility into system behaviour—a strategy known as observability-driven development (ODD).
