Episode Synopsis
Aditi Hilbert (@HilbertAditi) spoke with us about MyNewt, an Apache-licensed RTOS and bootloader. MyNewt's Apache page is mynewt.apache.org and the github repository is github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-core. In the README.md, check out the section marked browsing which points to the file system, ble stack, and assorted other source code goodies you may want to read. The secure bootloader code is also in there but as it is also a cross-RTOS effort (with Linux's Zephyr), you can find the MCUBoot repository at github.com/runtimeco/mcuboot Aditi works for Runtime.io (@runtime_io), a primary contributor to MyNewt. They work with companies who want to use MyNewt on their products. We talked about OIC (openconnectivity.org) and using UDP endpoints over BLE. Constrained http is actually called constrained application protocol: CoAP (coap.technology). We also mentioned MQTT, an older standard attempting to solve some of the same problems. The Apache license is one of the most permissive of open source licenses: choosealicense.com/licenses Assorted other links discussed in the show: Decoding the Heavens by Jo Marchant List of HTTP status codes (418 is the best) Last year's tshirts, logo will be the same but the shirts will be slightly different for the tshirt campaign starting April 26, 2017.
