LoRaWAN is one of the most exciting new technologies for device communication. It promises over 10 kilometers of range and a 10 year battery life, using unlicensed spectrum, allowing everyone to create a network. That sounds perfect for Internet of Things (IoT) appliances, right? But how do these numbers hold up in the real world? And how is LoRa different from other Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) like LTE Cat-M or NB-IoT?

Last June Arm and The Things Network demonstrated firmware updates over Low-Power Wide Area Networks. At that point we were using two development boards, with a Multi-Tech xDot Cortex-M3 MCU as the LoRa radio, and a FRDM-K64F Cortex-M4 MCU as the application processor. That system was great for a demonstration, but not very cost efficient for a commercial rollout. In addition, we were also always sending the complete firmware to the device, even if only a few bytes changed. Not great if we're using a network that has duty cycle limitations.

The Arm Mbed OS 5.6.0 release helps to further simplify the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded product development with the addition of several new features, such as tickless RTOS scheduler support to enable long periods of low-power sleep and IPv6 support to cellular stack to provide enhanced web connectivity. The release also adds several new drivers and platform APIs, support for IAR Embedded Workbench v8.1, and hardware security enhancements. In addition, this release contains many minor fixes and enhancements, as well as brings support for 93 target development boards. In the release note below, we summarize some of the key updates to Mbed OS as a part of Mbed OS 5.6.0 release.

A year ago we launched experimental JavaScript support for mbed OS 5, which allows developers to write their IoT applications in a high level scripting language. This is possible through JerryScript, a lightweight JavaScript engine that has full EcmaScript 5.1 support, but fits in only 64K of RAM.

Last week the core contributors to the JerryScript project came together in Szeged, Hungary to talk shop, discuss new features and drink some home-made palinka. Rob Moran (senior engineering manager, Tools team) and Jan Jongboom (JerryScript contributor) were representing Arm.
