J-Fall 2018: Daniel Rusev – IoT hardware access made easy with Eclipse Kura
In this we will demonstrate how to use facial and object recognition with Raspberry Pi, Eclipse Kura and AWS. Eclipse Kura is an Eclipse IoT project that provides a platform for building IoT gateways. It is a smart application container that enables remote management of such gateways and provides a wide range of APIs for allowing you to write and deploy your IoT application. Kura runs on top of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and leverages OSGi, a dynamic component system for Java, to simplify the process of writing reusable software building blocks. Kura APIs offer easy access to the underlying hardware including serial ports, GPS, watchdog, USB, GPIOs, I2C, etc. It also offer OSGI bundle to simplify the management of network configurations, the communication with IoT servers, and the remote management of the gateway. It features ready-to-use field protocols (including Modbus, OPC-UA, S7), an application container, and a web-based visual data flow programming to acquire data from the field, process it at the edge, and publish it to Cloud Platforms.
Daniel is a IOT architect with extensive experience spanning over 5 years in the design and development of systems in the cloud, embedded devices, custom build OS and internet of things. Daniel is passionate about technology in a wide range of technologies and follow the latest industry trends with great interest. His personal approach is methodical but creative.
