Firmware for IoT products

FIRMWARE

For IoT products, our firmware structure relies mainly on Linux, Docker and microservices.

Docker & Linux

Docker is a containerization platform that enables creating, deploying and running applications conveniently with the help of containers. There are many benefits of using Docker

Consistent and
isolated environment

Your apps and resources are isolated and segregated in such a way that each container can access all the required resources in an isolated manner

Rapid application
deployment

Docker creates a container for every individual process and subsequently the Docker apps do not boot into an OS – saving a lot of time

Guaranteed Scalability
and Flexibility

The Docker images can be easily sorted across multiple servers – update, clean-up or repair of applications can be done without taking the system down

Better Portability

As the application and all its dependencies are packaged together in a Docker container – you can deploy it to any system that supports Docker and the application will perform similarly

Cost-Effective

The need for infrastructure resources are reduced, containers created for individual processes can be shared, hence reducing memory needs.

In-built version control system

The Docker containers allow you to commit changes to the Docker images and version control them conveniently

Security

Docker takes the responsibility of complete isolation and segregation of applications running within the Docker containers with each other

Choice of languages

Choose the most suitable language or depending on the developers skills for each microservice

DATA STREAMING & IPC

For communication between processes, we use different technologies like Zenoh, NATS, GRPC, etc. depending on your needs and preferences.

Tools

At BE. we can work with any tool, OS or technology, depending on your preferences and requirements.

We also partner with Toradex, provider of SoMs and the TORIZON platform.
