Iot sdk thesis

Figure 1.5.4.1 Protocol Stack 
Thus, as an end-goal of the thesis, the aim is to abstract the low-level implementation 
of this stack to a high degree for IoT developers to have a seamless development experience.

Automated code generation (E.g. XML to C/C++) 
The IPSO object implementation of various real-life objects (such as sensors, actuators) 
are defined in a public repository [12]. These IPSO objects have been implemented in XML 
file format. XML is a mark-up language data format. XML is not directly compatible for 
embedded IoT application source codes, which are usually written in C/C++.
In the context of the thesis, LWM2M implementation hosting IPSO objects – Eclipse 
Wakaama - is written in C. Therefore, every XML file needs to be represented in its equivalent 
C/C++ source code, to be integrable with Wakaama. Hence, as an objective of the thesis, 
‘automating the C/C++ code generation from XML IPSO implementations’ has been identified.

Implementation of automatic software deployment on SoC 
The generated C/C++ source files from IPSO objects in XML must gel-in well with the 
rest of the Wakaama source code with minimal manual effort. The abstraction and SDK 
implementation would have a sense of completion only if the complete project including the 
newly converted files builds successfully without any errors. Only after error-free compilation 
of the source code, the application can be deployed on the development board.
Hence, successful automated software deployment is an objective of the thesis.

Implement end-to-end testing with a LWM2M server 
After successful deployment, the client on which the application has been deployed 
must be manageable from LWM2M server (e.g. Eclipse Leshan Server
5
) to serve the purpose 
of device management. The connection must also be encrypted with DTLS for secure device 
management, as intended in LWM2M standard. Thus, as a final thesis objective, 
‘implementation of end-to-end testing of client with LWM2M server’ has been identified.
