commodifying IoT - BERG

[Jodi Schneider]

Interesting trend in commodifying IoT:

"we extracted all the useful parts from Little Printer and created an operating system we call BERG Cloud — first you use it to prototype connected products, and then you take them to production, maintaining agility all the way. It’s soup to nuts, and we include everything

• from the APIs to control and configure your connected product from the web (we love the web)
• to a friendly mobile website for users to claim, share, and interact with products, making use of all of our design learnings…
• to the actual hardware and wireless.

You can get going quickly using our new BERG Cloud Dev Kits, with dev boards that plug into common hardware prototyping platforms (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ARM mbed). The first 3rd party on BERG Cloud is Twitter — we worked with them to make #Flock, a limited edition connected cuckoo clock that sings when you get a retweet or a fave!"

Yeah, there seem to be quite a few companies pitching to be /the/ platform for the Internet of Things.� I'm not sure if any of them succeeding would give us the /Internet/ of Things, as it'd be a walled garden approach which would be more the Compuserve of Things (for anyone old enough to remember Compuserve :-)

I need to get the book finished, so I can go back to writing blog posts about these sorts of developments ;-)

The Flock stuff is very well done though.� I saw it the other week when I called in to see BERG while I was down in London.� And they've got a nice way of laying out their BERG Cloud dev boards which has headers for both Arduino and Raspberry Pi, so you can use it with either board.

Cheers,

Adrian.

The first 10 or so pages of this Technology Strategy Board document are interesting.
