Achieve its self-powered innovative solutions. In addition, the cooperation has enriched the EnOcean Alliance for a long time, and is still regarded as the core smart building market in the sub-1GHz band, applying proven and interoperable energy harvesting technology solutions to more fields.

OIC merges with UPnP Forum to increase the strength of the Internet of Things

Not to let the ZigBee Alliance be more beautiful, the Open Interconnect Consorium (OCC) has announced the merger of all assets of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Forum. This agreement is expected to effectively integrate the OIC and UPnP Forum technologies and infrastructure to make the application base of the OIC IoT standard more stable.

OIC Executive Director Mike Richmond said that the Internet software protocol pioneered by the UPnP Forum is the foundation technology of today's smart homes; OIC is looking forward to working closely with many new members of the organization to streamline the next generation of connected IoT devices. Specifications.

According to research firm Gartner, there will be 21 billion IoT connections by 2020, and a recognized universal standard will be required to ensure that all devices are effectively connected and operated. The UPnP Forum was merged into the latest measures taken by OIC to ensure interconnection between IoT devices.

Scott Lofgren, president of the UPnP Forum, said that after UPnP joined OIC, the organization's standard devices will have the opportunity to combine with OIC's technology. In addition, UPnP devices play a unique role in smart homes, and will be able to strengthen OIC's efforts in the field of Internet of Things.

It is understood that in the future OIC will create a new UPnP work team to maintain UPnP specifications and certification tools throughout the OIC organization. In addition, OIC will also provide some compensation to some UPnP forums who do not want to join OIC's certified members as compensation.

Christopher Rommel, a researcher at VDC, a market research organization, said that decentralized IoT protocols and standards bodies are important obstacles to the popularity of the Internet of Things market. Lack of compatibility makes the network's flexibility and functionality impossible to implement, ultimately limiting consumers' presence in the market. select. To overcome this dilemma, industry developers must work together to ensure compatibility between standard protocols. VDC believes that OIC's integration of the UPnP Forum's assets is a necessary infrastructure and will be an important step towards achieving the bright future of the Internet of Things.

The Linux kernel natively supports MOST to expand the Internet of Vehicles. On the other hand, in order to accelerate the development of connected cars, the Automotive Media Oriented System Transfer (MOST) technology standards development organization recently announced that the Linux Mainline kernel (Kernel) will support native MOST since version 4.3. Linux driver. Wolfgang Bott, the MOST standard organization technology coordinator, said that the driver can access various MOST data types and support the USB, MediaLB and I2C interfaces of the MOST network interface controller. The driver also supports Linux standard interfaces such as ALSA (audio), V4L2 (video) and Linux network stacking based on IP protocol standards.

The Linux bearer rate is continuing to climb as it is an open source platform that allows car developers to reuse existing designs while gradually improving them. In addition, Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is built on a fully tested and stable Linux stack that has been used in embedded and mobile devices.

Market research firm IHS pointed out that by 2020, the global In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) shipments will total about 130 million units, of which 41.3% will be equipped with Linux operating systems, which is the mainstream of the market.

The combination of MOST and Linux provides a solution for increasingly complex IVI and ADAS, accelerating the speed of related systems development through open source software and automotive-proven MOST network technology. A fast and reliable network infrastructure is an essential element in achieving a connected car. Integrating this infrastructure with an open, common automotive platform architecture will help the global automotive market. Integrating MOST drivers in the Linux Mainline Kernel simplifies the creation of various components in a car infotainment system and ensures that each other works seamlessly.

Accelerate IoT Terminal and Cloud Integration OpenFog Alliance

In addition to the alliance and the alliance to enhance the development advantage, the establishment of a new alliance is also a good way to seize the opportunity of the Internet of Things. Recently, Amgen International (ARM), Cisco, Dell, Intel, Microsoft and Princeton University Edge Lab jointly announced the establishment of the OpenFog Alliance, hopes to pass the fog operation (Fog CompuTIng ) to grab a place in the Internet of Things; the alliance is expected to establish a preliminary framework and structure in early 2016 to reduce the time required for end-to-end IoT solution integration.

It is understood that the alliance wants to bring seamless wisdom to the cloud-to-IoT endpoints through an open architecture. Its core includes decentralized computing, networking and storage, and the technology needed to realize the full potential of the Internet of Things to accelerate the deployment of fog computing.
