The FogDevices platform - a comprehensive hardware solution for IoT applications

Abstract This article presents the FogDevices hardware platform. It is a comprehensive set of concepts, approaches, and solutions for fast and effective IoT node hardware and software development. The proposed solution may contribute to more effective embedded IoT node software development by providing a unique tool for emulating environmental conditions. It is especially useful in development and testing of advanced data processing algorithms and operation logic for environmental conditions monitoring. By using the discussed approach, engineers can set up highly customized IoT hardware for operation in specific usage scenarios but without an excessive amount of work. The complete functional, electrical, and mechanical solution is presented along with multiple test results of its practical implementation.
