Alfabase

Alfabase is an embedded software framework targeted for IoT/Wearable applications for resource constrained devices. Alfabase's system is an integration of FreeRTOS with Contiki OS. The aims of this project are:

  • Support application reprogramming(OTA) without updating the whole system. (ELF Loader)
  • Provide the framework layer (API) for rapid and easy development of IoT/Wearable applications.
  • Infinite loop in an application doesn’t hang system. (Preemptive)
  • The system can be remotely managed by using Bluetooth Low Energy or Serial/Uart interface.
  • Simply deploy and compile an ELF file from the application (C source) by using tools/alfa.py tools.
