Rescom SmartCities Summer School
07 Jul 2015
Late june was held in Lyon (France) the Rescom summer school on smart cities.
A 3 hours tutorial on FIT platforms was given to attendees. It was the opportunity to learn how to experiment through the Onelab webportal on the NITOS Lab and directly on the IoT-LAB facility.
Maintenance operation of May 26th
27 May 2015
The whole FIT IoT-LAB testbed was closed on May 26th for maintenance and upgrade operations.
During this day we deployed a new site and software; here are the details:
- New Paris Iot-LAB site
- CLI tools upgrade to version 1.6.0: we implemented a new command-line tool for robot management and the opportunity to update the nodes profile configuration during experiment. See changelog : https://github.com/iot-lab/cli-tools/blob/1.6.0/CHANGELOG.md
- Debugging with M3 nodes: we add feature for debugging remotely M3 nodes from SSH frontend. Learn how to use it through this documentation
RIOT OS on M3 nodes
27 Feb 2015
IoT-LAB supports various embedded operating systems that are well suited for the Internet Of Things, such as RIOT OS. RIOT is a real-time multi-threading operating system that considers devices with minimal resources that are typically found in the Internet of Things.
To enable IoT-LAB and RIOT users to compile and run this OS on M3 nodes you can consult this documentation
Maintenance operation of February 5th
25 Feb 2015
The whole FIT IoT-LAB testbed was closed on February 5th for maintenance and upgrade operations.
During this day we deployed new software; here are the details:
Radio sniffer
We implemented new features linked to Control Nodes, that let’s you configure them as radio sniffers during experiments. Learn how to use it through this documentation. More details on implementation are documented on GitHub.
New Linux kernel on A8 nodes
Linux kernel of open A8 nodes have been updated to version 3.18.5. Read the Linux nodes tutorial to discover usage and features.
CLI tools upgrade to version 1.5.3
See changelog : https://github.com/iot-lab/cli-tools/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
New aggregation tools
Creation of a dedicated repo on GitHub – https://github.com/iot-lab/aggregation-tools. Learn how to use serial_aggregator through this documentation. Learn how to use sniffer_aggregator through sniffer documentation.
Onelab federation
As FIT platforms are part of the Onelab Experimental Facility, and to highlight this federation aspect, we updated our website and webportal to follow Onelab and FIT style guides. Moreover, Onelab users can use their email/password to Sign In on the webportal to use advanced features of the testbed.
Opening of the Paris-Rocquencourt Site
28 Nov 2014
We are pleased to announce the opening of the Paris-Rocquencourt site.
The site of Rocquencourt includes 344 nodes (A8, M3 and WSN430). All A8 nodes are equipped with GPS.
