This week saw the launch of the Eclipse Edje open source project by MicroEJ. Edje will define a set of software application programming interfaces (APIs) required to deliver Internet of Things (IoT) services that meet the performance and memory constraints of microcontroller-based devices. Edje also will provide ready-to-use software packages for targeted hardware that developers can get from third parties for quick and easy development of IoT device software and applications. “Eclipse Edje provides a foundation for deploying IoT frameworks and standards on cost-effective, resource-constrained hardware. Hosting the Edje project at Eclipse ensures that the full stack is available from the same source and is properly integrated”, said Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. “Being part of Eclipse, the Edje project can expect quicker and broader adoption in the industry, through open source, and by leveraging the Eclipse community and ecosystem”. The Eclipse IoT community has been growing steadily, finishing 2014 with 14 […]
