ARM, Linaro tackle edge compute interoperability with ONElab

ARM and Linaro have launched a platform for interoperability testing of edge devices.
ONELab will provide interoperability testing for cloud-native Edge and IoT devices using ARM cores as part of the Linaro open source software development platform.
The proliferation of connected devices, coupled with the need for efficient data processing closer to its source, has highlighted the importance of interoperability testing in ensuring seamless deployment of cloud-native edge solutions.
ONELab provides a collaborative environment for silicon vendors and Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) to validate hardware and software compatibility with operating systems and cloud services.
- ARM sells its HPC tools business to Linaro
- ARM details virtual model use for the IoT
- Qualcomm buys Foundries.io
The platform streamlines the testing process, significantly reducing time-to-market and minimizing risks associated with compatibility issues and is supported by ADLINK, AMD, Bosch Software and Digital Solutions, Qualcomm, Red Hat, Renesas and TI as well as ARM.
“ONELab represents a significant step towards overcoming the challenges of cloud-native edge computing. By fostering collaboration and interoperability testing, we aim to create a more secure, efficient, and scalable ecosystem for Edge and IoT devices,” said Grant Likely, CTO at Linaro.
“As the number of connected devices increases exponentially, software compatibility is crucial and developers need to be equipped with tools that enable frictionless development and faster time to market,” said Mark Hambleton, SVP Software at ARM. “ONELab is the result of collaboration across the ARM ecosystem and will support developers with the deployment of edge and IoT solutions, at scale.”
“Qualcomm is thrilled to bring RB2 Edge Compute platform to ONELab towards continuous testing/integration of Open-source OSs/Upstream Kernel and ARM System-Ready-IR test suite”, said Guru Chinnabhandar, Senior Director, Engineering at Qualcomm. “This paves the way for host of other IoT Edge Compute platforms such as RB1, RB3, RB5, RB3Gen2 and RB5Gen2.”
