Marko's Slide Deck

for Nordic Field Application Engineers

What problem are we solving?

You support customers.

Those customers need a starting point for cloud-connected hardware.

Golioth Reference Designs

  • Off-the-self components

  • Zephyr projects ready to flash

  • Device management + data routing, all based on nRF9160dk
  • Use cases from sending temperature data, to air quality monitoring, CAN bus, Modbus, etc.

Golioth Air Quality Monitor

Golioth Reference Designs

Features of every Golioth Reference Design:

  • Secure connection (PSK or certificate authentication)
  • Over the Air (OTA) firmware update
  • Time-series data to cloud
  • Stateful data (bi-directional)
  • Fleet settings
  • Remote procedure call (RPC)
  • Remote logging

Today's Agenda:

How to leverage Reference Design to get customers started quickly

  • Demo: Air quality montior using the nRF9160-DK
  • Anatomy of a reference design
  • How to use Reference Designs to quickstart customers

Basing project on the

Reference Design Template

  1. All reference designs may be forked
    • Automatically have a common history
  2. Remove .git folder from app directory and start a new repo
    • Add the reference design repo as a remote for option to merge  future upstream changes
