RIOT in the Internet of Things - Exercises

Overview

Collection of practical exercises, assignments, and tasks to become familiar with IoT technologies using Linux and RIOT-OS.

Getting started

1. Open a terminal at the local user's home directory

2. Clone this repository locally:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/inetrg/exercises.git

3. Navigate to the repository and open an editor in the directory:

$ cd exercises
$ codium .

4. To avoid installing toolchains, you can use Docker instead. Follow the installation instructions here

5. Go through the exercises starting with 01-hello-world. Each contains a README.md with detailed instructions and tasks to solve.

If you prefer to do the exercises in Rust instead of C, there is a parallel list starting at rust01-hello-world. The exercises are generally similar, and only differ in details.

Conventions

Throughout the tutorials, we will specify commands and outputs. The conventions are as follows:

Leading $ means that the command is executed on the linux shell:

$ make

Leading > means that the command is executed on the RIOT shell:

> help

No symbol means an output from the RIOT node on the terminal:

Command              Description
