Chinese company Tencent and semi-conductor company STMicroelectronics will partner on Tencent’s latest Internet of Things (IoT) operation system, and China’s First LoRaWAN Open IoT Platform.
The tie-up was announced at the Tencent Cloud IoT Ecosystem Summit 2019. This cooperation will allow simple, seamless access to the one-stop software solutions on the Tencent Cloud IoT Explorer platform for faster time-to-market of large-volume IoT applications, said a press release issued by STMicroelectronics.
TencentOS Tiny is an open-source compact IoT embedded operation system (OS). To simplify LoRaWAN migration and accelerate time-to-market for Chinese IoT developers, Tencent has expanded the TencentOS Tiny family and unveiled the new addition, TencentOS Tiny LoRaWAN.
It will be first available in ST’s STM32 LoRaWAN software expansion package, which contains STM32 microcontroller software and the latest Firmware Update Over The Air (FUOTA) specifications.
The collaboration between Tencent and ST will allow any developer to create LoRaWAN and FUOTA nodes based on STM32 products, and easily access all the needed software components validated by Tencent Cloud IoT Explorer in a secure and efficient way, bringing greater convenience and productivity to Chinese developers and customers.
