1.a Platform Overview

The platform can be accessed through the web portal or using provided command-line tools. In addition, the platform offers a hosted environment on SSH front-ends, featuring pre-installed CLI Tools, target architectures cross-compiler toolchains, experiments results, and access to devices serial ports.

Source code and technical documentation is available on github.com/iot-lab.

1.b Authentication Settings 

• Log into the Webportal
• Configure Your SSH Access in Webportal
• Modify your password in Webportal (Edit my Profile)

2. First Experiment on M3 nodes 

• Create a New Experiment with M3 nodes and the Web Portal

3. Monitoring M3 nodes 

Do at least one of the following two tutorials

• Monitor power consumption (i.e., LED blinking)
• Monitor radio signal (i.e., RSSI during radio communication)

4. First experiment on A8 nodes

• Create a New Experiment with A8 nodes and CLI-tools

5. Advanced tutorials 

Pick into the following themes the one(s) you want to explore

• Networking with RIOT
  • Use CoAP/public IPv6 on M3 nodes
• Networking with Contiki
  • Use CoAP running on top of a RPL/TSCH (*) network and M3 nodes (CONTIKI-OS)
  Regarding Step 1 choose a PANID matching your tutorial login — 0xcd<login_number on 2 digits>. E.g. if your login is jdev20176 use 0xcd06 instead of the default 0xcdef.
• Custom Open Node
  • Use Atmel SAMR21 Xplained Nodes with the RIOT OS
• Mobility with robots
  • Use mobile M3 nodes doing a circuit loop

(*) IPv6 over the TSCH mode of IEEE 802.15.4e
