[[MISC-TN-005: Running AWS Greengrass Core on SBCSPG|This]] and [[SBCX-TN-003: Deploying modules to Azure IoT Edge-enabled SBCX with Visual Studio Code|this] Technical Note show how to connect two different DAVE Embedded Systems products to famous IoT cloud platforms, Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, respectively.
MISC-TN-006 will show instead how to implement an Industrial IoT system by following a different approach. In this case, we will be using open-source software stacks both on the edge device and on the cloud platform. This choice is extremely flexible and allows making use of on-premise cloud infrastructureas well.
Specifically, on the edge device—the SBCSPG industrial gateway—[https://www.eclipse.org/kura/ Eclipse Kura™] 4.1.0 framework will be installed. On the cloud side, [https://www.eclipse.org/kapua/ Eclipse Kapua™] 1.0.7 modular platform will be used.
==Setting up the cloud platform==
For the sake of simplicity, Kapua platform was installed on a desktop PC running Debian Stretch distribution. The procedure is described [http://www.opensourcerers.org/connecting-kura-to-kapua/ here] and it is quite straightforward, as it is based on the use of a Docker container.
==Configuring the edge device==
The installation procedure of Kura framework on the edge device is pretty straightforward as well. Again, please refer to [http://www.opensourcerers.org/connecting-kura-to-kapua/ this document] for more details. In this example, the ''Device Display-Name'' was customized as follows:

Once the cloud connection is set up properly on the edge device, it should establish the connection with Kapua as shown in the following picture:

On the cloud side, the connection status to the device is denoted by a green icon:

==Running a simple demo==
