10 new ecosystem members and Energia support connect developers to the cloud with a few lines of code
Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) is expanding its third party ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT) cloud service providers. With 10 new members since launching in April 2014, the TI IoT cloud ecosystem supports multiple cloud options with a total of 18 companies. Ecosystem members deliver solutions to help customers get their TI-based IoT solutions connected to the cloud quickly. The new members include Intamac/Kynesim, Keen IO/Technical Machine, Micrium, Octoblu, PTC, PubNub, Temboo and Weaved.
Each ecosystem member has demonstrated its cloud service offering on one or more of TI's wireless connectivity, microcontroller (MCU) and processor solutions for a wide-range of IoT applications spanning industrial, home automation, health and fitness, automotive and more. Visit TI's IoT cloud ecosystem page to learn more about members and their offerings.
To make code development even easier, several ecosystem members are also providing Energia support. Energia is an open-source and community-driven Wiring-based independent development environment (IDE) and framework for rapid firmware development across multiple TI MCU architectures including MSP430™, TM4C, SimpleLink™ wireless MCUs and more. Through easy-to-use APIs and libraries, interacting with the cloud can be done in fewer lines of code. Energia allows developers to focus more on creating their differentiated application and spend less time worrying about implementing Internet protocols or low-level drivers. With pre-packaged, built-in support for key cloud partners including IBM's IoT Foundation, Temboo, PubNub, Energia removes the need to manually download and import libraries.
"Time to value and simplicity are key to success in the Internet of Things space and including support for Energia with our IBM Internet of Things Foundation allows the Energia community to rapidly gain access from device to cloud services, allowing business benefits to be realized faster," said Michael Curry, VP WebSphere Foundation, IBM.
Additionally, TI's Code Composer Studio™ v6 (CCS) now has the ability to import Energia projects/sketches. This provides a very unique migration path from rapid prototyping to development and ultimately productization. By importing into CCS, developers have access to debugging and other features of a full featured IDE.
