Abstract
Luos Engine is an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) project. Open-source and real-time orchestrator for cyber-physical-systems, to easily design, test and deploy embedded applications and digital twins. Luos-engine provides a simple and efficient way to manage your hardware products as a collection of independent software features. You can easily create and share these features with your team, external developers, or the wider community. It is built using C. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building an Internet of Things (IoT) mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
Luos-engine provides a simple and efficient way to manage your hardware products as a collection of independent software features. You can easily create and share these features with your team, external developers, or the wider community. Luos-engine is an open-source lightweight library that can be utilized on any microcontroller or computer, with any network, enabling free and fast development of multi-electronic-board connected products. Choosing Luos-engine for your product design empowers you to develop, debug, validate, monitor, and manage it from anywhere.
Many embedded developments start from scratch. By using Luos-engine, you can leverage the work already done by you, your company, or the Luos community. The reusability of features encapsulated in Luos-engine services accelerates the time it takes for your products to reach the market while ensuring the robustness and universality of your applications.
Luos-engine promotes organized and effective development practices, ensuring the scalability, flexibility, and adaptability of your product from the initial idea to maintaining an industrialized fleet.
2. Objective
Open-source and real-time orchestrator for cyber-physical-systems, to easily design, test and deploy embedded applications and digital twins.
This project demonstrates how C can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.
