Many people are trying out #embedded development on RIOT at our booth on Chemnitzer Linuxtage. The awards for the embedded challenge are already gone, but you may find getting a first taste of playing with microcontrollers just as rewarding 🙂 #CLT2025

People running a conference booth in front of a poster and roll-up.

Their desk is laden with development boards and colorfully stickered laptops.

Some boards have antennas, some Ethernet or USB sockets, some have battery slots.

We are excited to preset RIOT on #CLT2025. As a little teaser, we attached an image of the RIOT@CLT25 poster. Come to our booth to check out interesting projects based on RIOT, ask questions, and even try out RIOT in our little coding challenge – no prior knowledge required.

Poster in German for RIOT OS at Chemnitzer Linux-Tage

Three diagrams show
1. the Internet split in devices with memory measured in Gigabytes (PC / phone / raspi, running Linux, Windows, Android etc) and in Kilobytes (PCBs, running RIOT)
2. a driver stack showing sys/packags building on kernel and drivers (hardware independent), on top of hardware dependent parts (peripheral drivers on top of CPU/boards)
3. a network stack, with CBOR/Senml/LwM2M building on CoAP/MQTT-NS, building on TCP/UDP/DTLS, on IP, on 802.15.4/Ethernet/BLE/LoRa.

Text:
RIOT ist ein freies, quelloffenes Betriebssystem für das IoT mit dem Schwerpunkt auf niedrigem Ressourcenbedarf, einfacher Nutzung und einer freundlichen und offenen Community. Es wird gemeinsam von Unternehmen, Hochschulen und Hobbyisten auf der ganzen Welt entwickelt. RIOT unterstützt die meisten stromsparenden IoT-Geräte, Mikrocontroller-Architekturen (32-Bit, 16-Bit, 8-Bit) und externe Geräte. RIOT zielt darauf ab, alle relevanten offenen Standards zu implementieren, um ein Internet der Dinge zu unterstützen, das vernetzt, sicher, langlebig und datenschutzfreundlich ist.

RIOT zieht auf Systeme mit Mikrocontrollern mit typischerweise wenigen dutzend KiB RAM und einigen hundert KiB Flash. Das bringt Vorteile wie geringeren Energieverbrauch, einfacher vorhersagbares Echtzeitverhalten und geringere Hardwarekosten mit sich. Jedoch ist auf leistungsfähigeren Systemen etablierte Software nicht ohne weiteres lauffähig.

The last day of the #RIOTSummit is used for the hackathon. We've learned a bit about time in the presentation, so why not work on clocks? (here: #pinetime, #banglej2)

Nice seeing the aiocoap logo in slides that are not mine. Nice work on #SUIT firmware updates, Silvie and Miguel! #RIOTSummit

Two people in front of slides showing logos of various components, including RIOT, Python and aiocoap.

Our first talks on the #RIOTSummit revolve around proving what happens inside #IoT devices, and finding what is on a device even if it does not tell. For more, also follow #RIOTSummit -- people post more than we can boost.

The RIOT devroom at #FrOSCon is shutting down, but our team is still roaming the event. It was great talking to so many people, and having more than 20 participants in two workshop sessions.

A small auditorium with over a dozen people working in small groups on laptops and hardware.

A slide says "Tutorial: Embedded Rust".

Four people in RIOT shirts, including a kid.
