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.

Getting started

Important

It is strongly recommended to first read through RIOT's Getting Started Guide before continuing with the exercises!

It covers the fundamentals of RIOT and the setup of a development environment.

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

echo                 Echo a message
