Introduction[edit | edit source]
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 infrastructure as well.
Specifically, on the edge device—the SBCSPG industrial gateway—Eclipse Kura™ 4.1.0 framework will be installed. On the cloud side, Eclipse Kapua™ 1.0.7 modular platform will be used.
From the software perspective, the basic configuration of the edge device is the same described here.
Setting up the cloud platform[edit | edit source]
For the sake of simplicity, Kapua platform was installed on a desktop PC running Debian Stretch distribution. The procedure is described here and it is quite straightforward, as it is based on the use of a Docker container.
Configuring the edge device[edit | edit source]
The installation procedure of Kura framework on the edge device is pretty straightforward as well. Again, please refer to 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[edit | edit source]
To run simple demo to test uploading data to the cloud, the following steps can be carried out:
- Creating a new Cloud Connection
- Creating and configuring a new Publisher
- Installing and configuring the example publisher application
