HI all,
Generally what all the parameters deciding the selection of a microcontroller for IoT application?
I know that most of the IoT solutions are designed around ARM controllers like ARM Cortex-M series.
ARM Cortex-M series microcontrollers are optimised for low power applications and have lots of standy features and it will save power Say ARM Coretex-M0+ can run for 15 years from cell battery! So low power might be one criteria.
I would like to know other micrcontrollers used in the IoT applications.
Thanks and Regards,
Deepu
IMHO it is not a µC but board or system question. For higher availibility you need a watchdog and over the air update capability. I do have negative experience with 1-wire capable boards being not able to restart 1-wire on communication failures.
Also SSL is a must for data and misuse protection. I would be glad if someone has pointers to a solution which may be used together with high level programming, but not relying to a cloud repository.
