RIOT online course

This project provides a learning course for RIOT, an operating system for constrained IoT devices, i.e. powered by microcontrollers.

The course is divided in 5 sections:

Introduction contains generalities about the RIOT project
Getting started contains the basics to start building and programming basic applications with RIOT
RIOT basics contains information about the internal structure of the OS (source code organization, build system, kernel) but also gives information about the hardware abstraction layer, the drivers and packages
Networking in RIOT provides basics on IoT protocols supported by RIOT (6LowPAN/IPv6, LoRa) and lists the network stacks provided by the OS
LoRaWAN with RIOT gives an overview of the LoRaWAN protocol and how to use it with RIOT
Security with RIOT gives an overview of the IoT security requirements and tools to address those

The full course is designed for 2 full days of work by mixing lectures and exercises to put in practice the exposed notions.

Only a web browser with an internet connection is needed:

The slides of each section can be followed online, directly from GitHub
All exercises are using Jupyterlab Notebooks hosted on https://labs.iot-lab.info. All you need is an IoT-LAB account. The source code of the Jupyter Notebooks is available at https://github.com/iot-lab/iot-lab-training.

The boards used during the exercises are all hosted on the IoT-LAB testbed:

The IoT-LAB M3 boards for exercises from the RIOT basics and Networking in RIOT sections,
ST boards for applications requiring LoRa radio: the B-L072Z-LRWAN1 with the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A2 extension board.

This course together with the exercices can be used for shorter and more oriented tutorials. Here is a list of existing tutorials:
