Soletta: Closing the IoT Development Gap
summary
Soletta is an open source C/JavaScript framework that unifies sensors, networking, OS services and updates across Linux, Zephyr, Contiki and RIOT with a single API and modular Kconfig build. It implements MQTT (via Mosquitto on Linux), HTTP (microhttpd, libcurl), and CoAP/OIC server+client over UDP, provides persistence, crypto, OTA phases and a tiny user-space option for constrained Linux. A flow‑based programming DSL plus a web dev app run on target for rapid prototypes; a Quark SE Zephyr image measures ~107KB flash, ~2KB RAM and supports Raspberry Pi, Arduino 101 and Intel boards.
