ESP8266 revolution

2014

● Arduino UNO + Wifi Shield ~50€● Arduino Yun ~50€● TI CC3200 launchpad ~ 30€● Spark Core ~ 30€● Econais WiSmart ~ 30€

..yet wifi dongles exist with 2€ (?)

2015

● Espressif ESP8266 (ESP-1) ~3€

ESP8266 Firmwares

● AT+ commands○ with help libraries for arduino

● NodeMCU○ LUA scripts

● Espressif ESP8266 RTOS SDK● ESP open sdk ● Kaa IoT platform ● Smart.js - Cesanta● Sming, ESPduino, SLIP.. ● …● Arduino

Arduino OTA for ESP8266

OTA may be done using

● Arduino IDE

● Web Browser

● HTTP Server○ This is the only NAT friendly approach, through periodic server polling

OTAXM

1. Port Wakaama (lwM2M) to ESP8266○ some coap enpoints○ attempt merging with ArduinoOTA (?)

2. Make it an Arduino Library○ enrich coap endpoints○ improve ArduinoOTA - Wakaama merge

3. Control ESP8266 from Leshan○ and Hawkbit in the future

Alternative approach: enrich Arduino microcoap with wakaama enpoints and modify ArduinoOTA to include lwM2M compatibility

Let’s share the glory (and the $$$)

Deadline 26 February
