Supported Hardware

Ioto is highly portable and runs on a wide variety of operating systems, environment and CPU architectures.

Ioto has bee ported to:

1
ESP32, FreeBSD, FreeRTOS, Linux, Mac OS X, Quadros, VxWorks

on the CPUs:

1
arm, arm64, mips, mips64, ppc, ppc64, riscv, riscv64, tidsp, sh, x86, x64 and xtensa.

Requirements

Ioto is highly adaptable to new environments and has also been ported by customers to many other environments. See Porting Ioto for details.

Ioto generally requires:

  • Flash code storage for ~300K
  • Flash file system for embedded database and configuration
  • 1-2MB RAM on a 32-bit system that is cloud connected
  • Network connection

The code can be compiled to include only the required components. The size of the flash file system is determined by the size of your device data. The configuration files are typically < 25K.

The RAM requirements are dominated by the TLS package. A typically cloud-networked device will utilize TLS for security and will require 1-2MB of RAM.

Operating System Support

Ioto supports the following operating systems and environments:

  • ESP32
  • FreeBSD
  • FreeRTOS
  • Linux
  • MacOSX

It has been ported by customers to:

  • QNX
  • Quadros
  • Windows
  • VxWorks
