IntroductionEdit
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 platformEdit
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 deviceEdit
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 demoEdit
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
