MAD24-318 What's Qualcomm upto in IoT??

  • Thursday, 16 May 12:10 - 12:35
  • Room: Session 1 | Las Palmas I

The Internet of Things (IoT) market has undergone significant evolution since its inception, transforming the way businesses and individuals interact with technology. The evolution of IoT markets can be traced through several key phases of Emergence and Proliferation which led to Standardization and Interoperability and followed by Edge Computing, 5G connectivity with Low Power Device and Secure Devices. Qualcomm Introduced Robotics platforms (RB3 and RB5) earlier with Linaro 96 Boards to help address the open source IoT markets and Linaro has been helping with open source Software support for these platforms. This was followed up with RB1 and RB2 platforms which address the low and mid tier market segment. Now, Qualcomm is also launching RB3 and RB5 Gen 2 platforms. This session will focus on the journey of open source software solutions for Qualcomm RB platforms, explore the support for Linux kernel, U-Boot and discuss the current status of SystemReady-IR and explore future possibilities with RB platforms.
