15 June 2022: Canonical today announced that Ubuntu Core 22, the fully containerised Ubuntu 22.04 LTS variant optimised for IoT and edge devices, is now generally available for download from ubuntu.com/download/iot. Combined with Canonical’s technology offer, this release brings Ubuntu’s comprehensive and industry-leading operating system (OS) and services to a complete range of embedded and IoT devices.
Ubuntu Core, the Ubuntu flavour optimised for IoT and edge devices, has a new version available. With a 2-year release cadence, every new release is both an exciting and challenging milestone. Ubuntu Core is based on Ubuntu. It is open source, long-term supported (LTS), binary compatible and offers a unified developer experience. It allows developers and makers to build composable and software-defined appliances built from immutable snap container images.
There are too few C/C++ testing libraries designed for embedded devices. The traditional libraries are not designed for constrained resources and rely on host functionality like a filesystem or standard output. In this post, I detail why I’ve decided to design a new testing library for microcontrollers and cover the rationale, design choices, and thoughts on the prototype. Like Interrupt?

Herrenknecht AG is a technology leader in mechanized tunneling systems. Engineers at Herrenknecht set out to build an industrial internet of things (IIoT) platform that provided insight into live and historic data for all their tunnel boring machines (TBMs). These machines have thousands of sensors generating high velocity data, sometimes in remote areas with limited connectivity.
Selecting the best chip can be tedious work but the best chip can save you a lot of time and money, and might even be faster! So should you spend time finding the best? I have some words on the topic. If a primary goal of your next project is to learn a new MCU, you want to create something easily reproducible, or if there will be only one machine building the project, then I recommend you to go with the chip you want to learn, the chip most readily available, or the easiest one to work with.
Since the term Internet of Things (IoT) was first coined in 1999, the market has experienced vast growth and maturity, evolving rapidly – and it is showing no sign of slowing down. According to Omdia, the number of global satellite IoT connections is set to continue growing at a compound annual growth rate of 25% for the foreseeable future.
