    Study Notes

    Chapter 7: IoT Physical Devices & Endpoints

    • An IoT device is a physical object with a unique ID that communicates data over a network
    • This data can include user data, and is collected from sensors around the device.
    • IoT devices communicate this data to other devices or servers.

    IoT Device Examples

    • Home automation systems monitor and control appliances remotely
    • Industrial machines report operational data and health metrics to a server
    • Cars send location data to a cloud service
    • Wearable devices track health data and send it to a cloud service

    Basic Building Blocks of an IoT Device

    • Sensing: Sensors collect data from the surrounding environment. These can be integrated into the device or separate, connected devices
    • Actuation: Actuators initiate physical actions. IoT devices can be equipped with various actuators to manipulate the surrounding environment
    • Communication: Communication modules transmit collected data to other devices or cloud-based servers, or receive instructions from remote applications. This allows for data transfer and remote actions on the device.
    • Analysis and Processing: Modules analyze and interpret collected data. This makes sense out of the raw data collected by the device.

    Block Diagram of an IoT Device

    • Connectivity: Includes USB Host, RJ45/Ethernet
    • Processor: CPU, GPU
    • Interconnect: Communicates data
    • Interfaces: UART, SPI, 12C, SD, MMC, SDIO, CAN

    • CPU: Executes instructions for general computing tasks (typically ARM-based)
    • GPU: Handles graphics-related tasks and supports multimedia applications
    • RAM: Temporary storage for active data (1GB-8GB depending on model)
    • Storage: Uses microSD cards for storing data
    • GPIO Pins: General Purpose Input/Output (allow interaction with external devices like LEDs or motors)
    • USB Ports: Connect peripherals (keyboards, mice, storage devices)
    • Video and Audio Outputs: HDMI or composite video/audio outputs to connect to monitors or TVs
    • Ethernet and Wireless Connectivity: Built-in Ethernet or USB Wi-Fi adapters
    • Operating Systems: Runs on different Linux distributions, (Raspbian, Arch, Pidora, RaspBMC, OpenELEC, RISC OS)

    Raspberry Pi Interfaces

    • Serial: Receives (Rx) and transmits (Tx) data for communication with peripherals.
    • SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface): Synchronous serial protocol for communication with peripherals.
    • I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit): Uses SDA (data line) and SCL (clock line) for synchronous data transfer with hardware modules.

    Other Devices

    • pcDuino: Single-board computer, similar to Raspberry Pi, with an ARM processor
