Eclipse Mita is a new programming language for the embedded IoT. It targets developers who are new to embedded software development, specifically those who come from a cloud background. As a developer Mita feels like a modern programming language (in the vein of TypeScript), but translates to C code which compiles to native code running directly on the embedded hardware. Combining declarative configuration, powerful language features with code generation enables projects to scale their deployment over quantity - from the first prototype to shipping thousands of devices.
Mita serves two separate user groups: IoT developers and device vendors/platform integrators.
To get an impression of how Mita looks like for IoT developers, check out a short quick demo, or a talk from the Eclipse IoT Day 2018 in Grenoble. As an IoT developer Mita is most useful to you if it comes integrated in a device vendors offering. See below for a list of vendors who currently offer Mita support (if your organization/offering/platform should be in this list, please raise a pull-request):
- Bosch Cross Domain Development Kit (XDK110) ships Mita in its workbench
More information about the language itself can be found in our documentation.
For Mita to run on a platform/device there is some integration work necessary. Have a look at our platform integrators guide for more details on how to enable Mita for your platform.
