Linux IoT: From Prototype to Production - Drew Moseley, Mender.io

 We will discuss some of the considerations device manufacturers should consider when designing Linux-based connected devices. These devices are increasingly common in the Internet of Things. We will discuss hardware, software, security, and how to bring it all together. We will present a demo solution using a Raspberry Pi device and provide a build environment and instructions for attendees to use on their own hardware.

We will start by defining IoT and its basics. We will cover the various applications, including the consumer, industrial, enterprise, and municipal markets. Design considerations for IoT development will be covered as well as the Cloud Infrastructure options available. 

The selection process will be covered, including hardware (on-board peripherals, form factor), system software (OS, system development tools, deployment strategies), and application software criteria.
