AliOS availability on ST's STM32 platform
shortens IoT node design cycle and time-to-market for the Chinese
market
Hangzhou, China, October 13, 2017 - STMicroelectronics
(NYSE:STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers
across the spectrum of electronics applications, announced today
its cooperation with Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm and
business unit of Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA), to provide a complete
cloud-to-node IoT solution to the market. The cooperation will
allow any designer to easily create IoT nodes and gateways using
ST's key semiconductor building blocks for the IoT, run Alibaba's
IoT operating system AliOS on the node, and seamlessly connect with
the Alibaba Cloud for faster time-to-market of large-volume IoT
applications.
With the official release of AliOS, ST has made the AliOS
available to run on its robust STM32 microcontroller (MCU)
platform, the market's broadest Arm® Cortex®-M MCU portfolio and a
leading choice for Chinese IoT designers. Beyond processing,
designers will get access to ST's complete portfolio covering all
the key building blocks for the IoT, including connectivity,
security, sensors, power management, and signal conditioning. 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.
The ST/Alibaba collaboration assures development efficiency and
access to the first Chinese IoT turnkey platform, bringing greater
convenience and productivity to developers when creating IoT nodes
and to integrators when connecting to the Alibaba Cloud. Customers
also get a head-start on time-to-market with AliOS's pre-validation
of all software components on the platform, easing security
provisions and field device upgrades.
"By collaborating with Alibaba, we can provide developers in
China with the STM32 platform to build IoT nodes running AliOS.
This gives customers a head-start to using the combination of AliOS
Node-to-Cloud complete vertical solution and the broad portfolio of
ST's IoT technologies that includes sensors, processing, security,
connectivity, and power," said Arnaud Julienne, Vice President,
Microcontroller, Memory, and Secure MCU & IoT, Asia Pacific
Region, STMicroelectronics.
"Alibaba, a rich and powerful platform for everyone to conduct
business, will help different IoT market players, both large and
medium/small businesses, to find their customers or vendors.
Alibaba is cooperating with ST to build joint solutions from Cloud
to Node, to include security in applications, and we definitely
believe AliOS and ST chipsets can help customers achieve their
targets in the IoT mass-market," said Ku Wei, general manager of
IOT BU of Ali Cloud BG.
