IoT OS Teaching Material Development

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most attractive technologies today. It allows each device to communicate safely and efficiently. Every loT device has an embedded system. They need an operating system (OS) to cooperate with internal tasks and communicate tasks among various devices. OS learning requires knowledge of software and hardware, which is difficult. In this study, we present a simple loT-related OS for learning. Beginners can understand the principles of loT OS easily. We also introduce the loT OS porting skills to different devices. The teaching materials include an FPGA-based loT device and an OS porting. Generally, traditional OS teaching materials seldom include such skills. With the proposed OS, the teaching material contents are increased, revised, and promoted for learning.
