Amazon FreeRTOS availability for STM32 platform
assures IoT node design to highest quality and security
standard for AWS
Geneva, November 29, 2017 -- STMicroelectronics
(NYSE:STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers
across the spectrum of electronics applications, announced today
its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Amazon
FreeRTOS, the latest addition to the AWS Internet of Things (IoT)
solution, offering a complete IoT node-to-cloud solution to the
market.
Amazon FreeRTOS provides everything one needs to easily and
securely deploy microcontroller-based connected devices and develop
an IoT application without having to worry about the complexity of
scaling across millions of devices. Once connected, IoT device
applications can take advantage of all of the capabilities the
cloud has to offer or continue processing data locally with AWS
Greengrass.
ST's collaboration with AWS speeds designers' efforts to create
easily connectable IoT nodes with the combination of ST's
semiconductor building blocks and Amazon FreeRTOS, which extends
the leading free and open-source real-time operating-system kernel
for embedded devices (FreeRTOS) with the appropriate libraries for
local networking, cloud connectivity, security, and remote software
updates.
"At AWS, we always work to simplify solutions for customers. We
believe the addition of Amazon FreeRTOS to our existing suite of
IoT services will accelerate the development of new IoT-enabled
microcontroller-based devices and provide a straightforward path
for device manufacturers to secure and maintain their products,"
said Dirk Didascalou, Vice President of IoT, Amazon Web Services,
Inc. "Amazon FreeRTOS, coupled with industry-leading semiconductor
products and tools, like those from STMicroelectronics, further
lowers the barriers for innovators eager to get their ideas and
products to market."
For the STM32, one of the industry's most popular family of
32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M microcontrollers, ST's modular and
interoperable IoT development platform spans state-of-the-art
semiconductor components, ready-to-use development boards, free
software tools, and common application examples. At the official
release of Amazon FreeRTOS, a version of the OS and libraries are
immediately available to run on the ultra-low-power STM32L4 series
of microcontrollers.
The starter kit for Amazon FreeRTOS is ST's B-L475E-IOT01A
Discovery kit for IoT node, a fully integrated development board
that exploits low-power communication, multiway sensing, and a raft
of features provided by the STM32L4 series microcontroller to
enable a wide range of IoT-capable applications. The Discovery
kit's support for Arduino Uno V3 and PMOD connectivity ensures
unlimited expansion capabilities with a large choice of specialized
add-on boards.
"By collaborating with AWS, ST now provides developers with a
manageable, secure, and scalable turnkey solution to build quality
IoT nodes on the field-proven STM32 running Amazon FreeRTOS," said
Tony Keirouz, Vice President of IoT Strategy, Ecosystem &
Partnerships, STMicroelectronics. "Together, we're helping
jumpstart any IoT design using the combination of AWS node-to-cloud
vertical solution and the broad portfolio of ST's IoT solutions,
including sensors, processing, security, connectivity, and
power."
