ETRI Opens IoT Software Development Environment
Easy for non-experts to use, kickstarting the spread of IoT.



On the 19th, the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) established and released a software (SW) development environment that allows for easy and simple creation of devices using IoT.

ETRI is releasing a core SW framework for creating IoT devices and moving forward with the easy creation and dissemination of device SW.

This software framework provides five lightweight operating systems (OS), firmware for sensors and communications, and resource management and low-power management modules. Therefore, any developer can easily create and connect microservices to complete programs. Furthermore, experts can load the necessary programs and modify only a few tasks, saving the effort of typing hundreds or thousands of lines of code.

The research team explained that the provided SW is linked with the international standard platform related to IoT and is easy to apply to all five supported operating systems, so SW can be used without separate work for compatibility.

In keeping with the trend toward lighter IoT devices, the research team also unveiled a programmable Lite version, suitable for ultra-small devices. Utilizing inexpensive chips, this version completes its mission with a single communication. The L size has an executable file size of only 17.9KB and an execution memory size of only 8.1KB, so it can be operated at low cost and low power, and is easy to install programs.

In addition, ETRI is developing IoTware-IDE, a development environment tool for IoT devices, and supports drag-and-drop graphic programming, developer collaborative programming, and code power consumption pattern analyzer.

Park Chan-won, head of ETRI's Autonomous IoT Research Lab, said, "Using IoTware, even non-experts can shorten programming time, allowing them to quickly bring creative ideas to market." He added, "It can be installed in lightweight IoT devices, helping to secure device price competitiveness."
