Originally published at: Golioth Showcases Reference Designs at Embedded World 2023 - Golioth
Golioth returned to Embedded World in 2023 to showcase at the Zephyr booth. We brought a range of designs built with Zephyr and connected to the Golioth Cloud. Each of our Reference Designs show how Golioth technology can target verticals throughout the industry. We are regularly creating new designs and posting about them, both on this blog and on the Golioth Projects site. Moving To Common Elements With Our 2023 Designs We had a more standardized form factor and design elements with our 2023 designs than our demos at Embedded World 2022. Last year, we wanted to differentiate the functions and features of the Golioth Cloud when showcasing the “color demos”. Each of these demonstrated the different parts of our platform. Golioth Embedded World 2022 Color Demos This year was all about showcasing how similar many IoT designs can be. By extension, we wanted to show how we can swap some hardware and firmware to target entirely different market segments. We built a new form factor that contains off-the-shelf hardware but still presents it in a somewhat compact manner. This took the form of the Aludel Mini case and PCB design, as well as our Ostentus front panel, both of which we have written about before. The result is a black box (har har) that allows us to target verticals. Our goals in the near future is to create additional firmware resources to make it easier for our users to replicate these designs using 100% off-the-shelf components.
