Contiki, for Converting Embedded into IoT

By Priya Ravindran

We are in an era of rapidly developing electronics; of embedded systems, efficient processors, the Internet of Things (IoT) and miniature chips. To aid with one’s design process in this fast-paced scenario, here is an operating system (OS) that is specially designed to connect tiny, low-cost and low-power microcontrollers to the Internet: Contiki.

Contiki, in a Nutshell

* What is it - An operating system for the IoT * Who developed it
…show more content…
* Along with the Contiki package, one needs VMWare Player to make it work. The entire package of Contiki can be downloaded at a single stroke using ‘Instant Contiki’.

Providing advanced capabilities

In addition to features like multi-threading and protothreads as discussed earlier, Contiki allows for multi-tasking and inter-process communication using message passing through events. The user can also choose to work with a GUI via direct graphic support or networked remote display with virtual network computing (VNC). The OS also claims to support the world’s smallest Web browser.

Planning to try it?

As Wikipedia puts it, “Contiki is an operating system for networked, memory-constrained systems with a focus on low-power wireless IoT devices.” The specifications of a typical Contiki system are a few kilobytes of memory, milli-watt power consumption, processing speed in the order of megahertz and a bandwidth about the order of 100’s of KB/s. With such features and specifications, the OS seems to promise substantial work in the coming years.

    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…
