Procure Dependencies

Hardware

To set up this system, you will need a Linux or macOS workstation computer, one or more IoT devices, and an IoT gateway.

The Zephyr and Linux microPlatforms were designed for portability, and the LWM2M system has been ported to several boards. To get started, however, we recommend the following.

Zephyr microPlatform dependencies:

• BLE Nano 2 as an IoT device. Make sure to purchase the entire kit, including the DAPLink board, not just the standalone BLE Nano 2 board.

Linux microPlatform dependencies:

• Raspberry Pi 3 as an IoT gateway
• 3.3 volt USB to TTL Serial Cable, such as this SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout 3.3V
• SD card compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 (see this Embedded Linux wiki guide for examples)
• (Optional, but recommended) Ethernet cable for Raspberry Pi 3

This hardware was chosen for this tutorial mainly because it is commonly, and relatively inexpensively, available.

Subscriber Token

The latest Linux and Zephyr microPlatform updates are made continuously avaiable to subscribers. To access subscriber-only content, you’ll need to generate a token at https://foundries.io/s/.

Non-subscribers can use the public microPlatform update streams. Note note that these lag behind the subscriber updates by up to six months.
