(Freescale Technology Forum) – Continuing its commitment to establish a
secure and open infrastructure for the delivery of Internet of Things
(IoT) services, Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE: FSL) today demonstrated
the hardware platform that forms the foundation of the one box concept
at the 2014 Freescale Technology Forum.
Featured prominently in today’s opening session at the 2014 Freescale
Technology Forum, the IoT gateway is a flexible hardware platform to be
equipped with multi-party software, and engineered to support the secure
delivery of IoT services to end-users in a home, business or other
location; thereby supporting the rapid deployment of a vast array of
innovative IoT services.
The platform’s demonstration represents a significant milestone in
Freescale’s one box initiative. Working with Oracle and ARM, Freescale
developed this initiative to focus on the creation of a secure,
standardized and open infrastructure model for the delivery of IoT
services. The concept combines standards-based, end-to-end software with
a converged IoT gateway design to establish a common, open framework for
secured IoT service delivery and management. A “box” (or service
gateway) built on the platform can consolidate boxes from multiple IoT
service providers into a single, unified appliance that can support
multiple service providers.
“Simplifying the deployment of secure services is critical to fueling
widespread adoption of the Internet of Things,” said Geoff Lees, senior
vice president and general manager of Freescale’s Microcontroller
business. “We are pushing the industry forward with an innovative
enabling product platform that will help overcome some of the biggest
barriers facing our customers.”
Freescale plans to offer the new platform in Q4 2014 with a software
suite that integrates and pre-validates security and connectivity
components, allowing developers to add value through application
software development and connectivity of new edge node products.
Powered by a Freescale i.MX 6 applications processor built on the ARM
Cortex®-A9 core, the platform runs Oracle Java SE Embedded
and is suitable for basic networking and sensor connectivity. The
solution supports the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® low energy and
802.15.4 wireless interfaces. The initial Freescale IoT gateway platform
also includes Oracle Event Processing for Oracle Java Embedded to
facilitate quick reactions at the gateway level, as well as ARM
Sensinode™ NanoServices software and Freescale-based processing.
Key features of the first product platform to be released:
-
Fan-less gateway based on the low power i.MX 6 series processor
measuring just 5.3″W x 3.9″D x 0.8″T
-
Supports 802.11b/g/n out of the box with Bluetooth low energy and
802.15.4 (including ZigBee protocol) accessories and software available
-
System can be configured as a Continua® Healthcare
Compliant gateway for interoperability with home health products
-
Pre-integrated Oracle software including Oracle Java SE Embedded as an
application development framework, and Oracle Event Processing for
Oracle Java Embedded, for building embedded applications to filter,
correlate and process events in real-time
-
ARM Sensinode’s NanoServices, providing end-to-end web services
optimized for resource-constrained edge nodes
Pricing and availability
The dual-core i.MX 6 processor-based hardware platform is priced at $159
(USD) for the base model, and is available for order in September 2014.
A version of the IoT gateway platform built on QorIQ LS series
processors will be available in Q4 2014. This gateway platform will
offer gigabit line rate Ethernet and PCIe connectivity, as well as
additional wireless connectivity options including 4G/LTE and 802.11ac
for edge nodes requiring high-speed data transport and efficient packet
routing.
