Oniro Distributed OS Unites a Fragmented Internet of Things

In the world of the https://thenewstack.io/category/edge-iot/, fragmentation has commonly been the rule, rather than the exception, so the https://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/ has launched the https://oniroproject.org/ project and working group in an effort to solve that. In today’s world of connected devices, there is a bifurcation of IoT architectures according to device size, explained https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemilinkovich/?originalSubdomain=ca, Eclipse Foundation executive director. Larger devices, for example, might commonly run https://www.yoctoproject.org/, while smaller devices might run a different operating system entirely, such as https://zephyrproject.org/. This division can not only cause difficulties with communication between devices, but can also lead to security vulnerabilities.

The first release of Oniro is expected for early 2022, and Milinkovich links the operating system and working group’s success with participation from within the industry.
