Raspberry Pi 5. Will it even be called that? What could the next generation Raspberry Pi SBC bring? We round up the most intelligent preview points.

With no official release date yet set by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, there is some speculation (and guesswork) on what the next version of the Raspberry Pi single board computer could look like in the world of embedded systems.

The Raspberry Pi...

Many organisations suffer from having fragile and insecure homegrown solutions for software updating of IoT devices. A best-of-breed OTA software update solution from a professional system management vendor is the only alternative for a robust and secure IoT device fleet and a properly protected corporate network.

Where USB sticks are used to update the devices manually, additional cost and bur...

Want an easy way to SSH to a device behind a firewall but don’t want to set up a VPN? Welcome to the pragmatic person’s approach - Reverse SSH tunneling.

If you’re reading this you’ve probably heard of SSH, the cryptographic network protocol usually running on port 22 which allows you access to the shell of a remote machine.

In the most basic form, you use the SSH client on your workstation to...

Due to its low cost, modularity, and open system design the Raspberry Pi devices have taken the computing and digital world by storm.

In embedded Linux development, there are two approaches when it comes to what operating system to run devices on. Either build a custom distribution with tools such as Yocto or Buildroot, or use a binary distribution where Debian and derivatives are commo...

Imagine a swarm of IoT devices. They do not possess strong CPUs and not only have little local persistent storage and not much RAM, but with their weak network connections some are not online at all times. At the same time they provide a powerful platform. You may argue that the power comes from their number. I believe that it originates from the fact that they are connected. Assuming, for the s...
