RIOT online course

This project provides a learning course for RIOT, an operating system for constrained IoT devices, i.e. powered by microcontrollers.

Content of the course

The course is split in 5 sections:

• Introduction contains generalities about the RIOT project
• Getting started contains the basics to start building and programming basics applications with RIOT
• RIOT basics contains information about the internal structure of the OS (source code organization, build system, kernel) but also gives information about the hardware abstraction layer, the drivers and packages
• Networking in RIOT provides basics on IoT protocols supported by RIOT (6LowPAN/IPv6, LoRa) and list the network stacks provided by the OS
• LoRaWAN with RIOT gives an overview of the LoRaWAN protocol and how to use it with RIOT

The full course is designed for 2 full days of work and programming exercises are also provided to illustrate the exposed notions.

Using the course

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/aabadie/riot-course

2. Clone the repository containing the source code of the exercises

git clone https://github.com/aabadie/riot-course-exercises

3. Open the html files in slides/<section> directories in a web browser

Required setup

For RIOT applications developped during the practical exercises, you will need:

• A Linux operating system with all build tools installed or VirtualBox with a Linux VM running (preferably Ubuntu). Setup details are given in the Getting started section.

• An ST board for applications running on hardware: exercises are using the B-L072Z-LRWAN1 with the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 extension board.

• A Microchip SAMR21 Xplained Pro evaluation board.

The use of the hardware boards is optional since the related manipulations can be done with an account on IoT-LAB.
