Open Source Driven IoT and Edge Computing - Case Studies from C-DAC
summary
CDAC describes working, open hardware and firmware: the Indas IoT kit (temperature, humidity, air quality, accelerometer, light, sound) is fielded for smart agriculture and classrooms and sold to about 800 institutes; edge nodes use LoRa, Zigbee, Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi and custom boards (UB‑mode, Wi‑Fi‑mode, wings gateway) for local filtering and alerts; a drone platform runs onboard inference on the same boards for targeted pesticide spraying and pollution/disaster monitoring; a homegrown Vega processor roadmap reaches quad‑core 14 nm and plans 100+ core HPC+AI chips.
