IoT/Commons
< IoT
Many Eclipse IoT projects implement somewhat similar functionalities in terms of integration with underlying hardware, communication with endpoints over popular IoT protocols, etc.
This page aims at listing how Eclipse IoT projects currently implement, or are looking at implementing, some common features. It should be used as a reference for all Eclipse IoT projects before starting to re-implement something that is already available from another project.

Work in progress
Below is a list of some "commons" that may have been solved/implemented by projects already, or will need to be, but that still need proper documenting.
- Zigbee stack in Java
- What is OM2M doing?
- Serial port manipulation in Java
- RX/TX is causing licence issues
- Kura is using SODA DK (see https://github.com/eclipse/kura/tree/develop/target-platform/org.eclipse.soda.dk.comm)
- Bluetooth 2.1
- Kura is looking at having a javax.bluetooth implementation over BlueZ 5 D-BUS interface.
