Mentor Graphics targets IoT with hardware ecosystem
The ecosystem will enable the most demanding IoT requirements with support from 8-bit microcontrollers to the latest 64-bit microprocessors, and deployments of 100,000+ gateways each supporting dozens of edge devices, claims the company.
The Gateway SysDK reference hardware uses the ARM Cortex-A9 based i.MX 6 series applications processor from Freescale Semiconductor.
The base reference software includes a rich Linux BSP with full support for the reference board. The Mentor Gateway SysDK can be customized to include secure gateway partitions using ARM TrustZone, which enables secure applications such as certificate management and secure remote firmware upgrades. The integration of cloud middleware supports the functionality provided from the cloud backend.
The proposed end-to-end IoT solution includes support for a comprehensive set of physical connections complemented by a breadth of IoT and cloud protocols for wired and wireless edge device aggregation, and secure communication between the cloud backend, gateway, and edge devices. Security integration with enterprise IT infrastructure is provided by Icon Labs’ Floodgate for McAfee ePO.
The cloud backend can be licensed or provided as a service. I can integrate multiple cloud service providers, and enables management of server life-cycles using automation templates.
