Linux-based IoT: from prototype to production

We will discuss some of the considerations engineers should consider when designing a Linux-based connected device. These devices are increasingly common in the Internet of Things. We will discuss hardware, software, security, and how to bring it all together. We will present a demo solution using a Raspberry Pi device and provide a build environment and instructions for attendees to use on their own hardware.
