Svec points out that with the IoT, there are more concerns for
embedded engineers than just worrying about the firmware and
the device and how to update the device. An IoT design involves
many layers of decisions, and each decision triggers a cascading
set of consequences that can completely change the system
architecture. That requires more iterations.
Its enough to trigger a migraine. Svecs advice for engineers who

are new to the world of IoT is this: Choose a simple end-to-end
system, for example a basement water leak monitoring system,
using any of the open source hardware tools available. Thats what
he did.

COMPUTERS (SBCS)
Chris Svec, a Senior Principal Software Engineer at iRobot, is

used to working on complex embedded systems. So he was
appreciative of all the layers in a new IoT project he was recently
involved with. I think the thing that struck me most was how
many moving pieces there are with an IoT device, he says.
I have to think about whether I want WiFi or Bluetooth. And if I am

not using video, then I dont need the bandwidth so it should be
okay to use Bluetooth. But I cant use Bluetooth and connect to the
Internet without another WiFi chip in the mix. And then I have to
think about the Internet side of things and how my data is going to
be stored and processed--on a dedicated server, in the cloud and so
on, explains Svec.

CHALLENGE 2
The interdisciplinary skills required

While engineers today are
beginning to pick up both
hardware and software skills, in
the not-so-recent past, the roles
and responsibilities of engineers
were relatively narrow. An engineer
who just did embedded software,
for example, just did embedded
software. That engineer did not
have to worry about things like
applications or connectivity.
Engineers had to do that thing they
did really well, which was to make
sure that the system came out of
reset, detected faults and recovered,
and performed reliably, says Matt
Liberty, President of Jetperch LLC, a
DSP, FPGA and embedded software
consultancy firm.
A lot of these IoT devices are small

compared to a typical embedded
system, say like one used in test
equipment. Yet, something like LED
lighting is incredibly complicated-projects require a huge diversity of
knowledge that engineers have to
pick up to be successful, he stresses.
Theres back-end issues too, as well
as connectivity, privacy, and security
concerns that when combined
together quickly thrust many
engineers into foreign territory.
before. The technology is all there.

But in the big rush to get products
to market, I think what is being lost
a lot of the time is the really strong
engineering. And thats because its
hard, says Liberty.
He believes that engineers need to
remember that they will still need
to deal with all the usual issues such
as buffer overflows and uninitialized
memory, and strive to develop safe,
secure, and reliable productseven
if those products are simple in nature.

The security issues
This is a subset of the entire respondents

Compounding the problem is the

fact that engineering team sizes have
been decreasing, forcing engineers
to pick up even more skills that are
not in their domain expertise. Couple
that with time-to-market pressures,
which have always been an issue for
embedded developers and are just
as prevalent with IoT devices, and
one cant help but wonder how any
engineer can keep up.
Liberty points out that because
microcontrollers have gone from
8-bit to full 32-bit machines that
are better than the early PCs and
consume just a fraction of power,
there is an opportunity now to do
things that have not been possible
Of course, that should be a nobrainer for embedded developers,

who are used to working to such
exacting requirements. But nonembedded types are likely to be
frustrated by the skimpy memory
and power resources available.
As far as gaining new skill sets, theres
no one easy answer. Liberty says that
he himself is constantly challenged
to learn new things, while at the
same time focusing on his day job. I
think that the key for any engineer
is to learn as much as you can in the
areas that you are interested in. But
not to try and go too deep with too
many topics because youll lose sight
of the bigger issues.

The need to understand datasheets

Q
Advanced sensors today offer powerful new capabilities for

designers of IoT devices. But the more capable sensors become,
the more complex the interfaces. And that can mean spending
more time reading datasheets, something software engineers
arent necessarily comfortable doing.
You can search the web for all kinds of things. There is
information out there on how to normalize a database or figure
out how HTTP works. But, there is very little on how to read a
datasheet. And, you need to read the datasheet to figure out
how the hardware works, says Michael Anderson, CTO and Chief
Scientist for The PTR Group, Inc. He has over 35 years experience
in the embedded and real-time computing industry.
Time and time again, I am dealing with mid- or even senior
level- software engineers who dont really understand how
things like registers or caches work, and often they dont
understand how to read a datasheet or a timing diagram. If
thats the case, then they cant understand how to program the
device to make sure that it functions correctly. And, the closer
they get to the sensor the more likely they are to get into these
hardware-related issues, explains Anderson.
One of the problems Anderson sees for engineers who deal with
sensors is that their use in the field at the edge is all over the
map in terms of duty cycles. You have some sensors running
continuously, say monitoring the motor vibration. And then
you have more periodic situations, like growing a field full of
lettuce and you want to know whether you should turn on the
sprinklers. You probably only need that data a few times a day.

library for something like the Arduino, look at the source code,
look at the datasheet, and figure out how the individual who
wrote the library interpreted the datasheet and turned it into
code, describes Anderson.
What a lot of us end up doing, he adds, if we dont want
to take the time to read the datasheets is to see if there is a
software library and just grab the source code, as long as its
legal to do so of course!

For engineers who need to come up to speed on reading

datasheets, Anderson suggests taking a simple single board
computer and sensor that has a software library already written
for it. The job then is to look at the library and make the sensor
work, but change up some things. For example, if the sample
library for an accelerometer runs 2X gravity mode, then run
it in 16X gravity mode. You might discover that one of the
downsides of this is that, because of the resolution, it gives you
13 bits worth of data instead of 8 and it comes out in the wrong
endian format, which means you have to flip the bytes.
Again, better to learn to do it on a hobby project than
in a real world application where speed and/or safety is
everything.

The security issues

Security may not be top of mind for every
engineer who is developing connected
devices. But every device that talks all the way
to the cloud is a potential access point; entire
sensor networks chatting on the Internet
create a huge attack surface.
The IoT will become the playground of
the cybercriminal, predicts Jonny Doin,
Founder and CEO, Gridvortex Systems. With
over 25 years of experience in developing
systems, Doin says, Exploiters will be able
to compromise very small things in an
orchestrated way. In fact, this is already taking
place--just imagine a massive attack on some
very easy things to compromise, you can
imagine all kinds of scenarios for science
fiction movies.
In todays connected world, virtually every
system that surrounds us is connected with
another system, upstream or downstream.
If those systems fail and send the wrong
information downstream or the wrong
state downstream or the wrong feedback
possibly due to a security breach--dangerous
situations can be created.
The challenge is that with things loaded with
sensors, the perception of what is the threat
level and what is the hazard level of those
failures is extremely difficult to know, said
Doin. When you are dealing with a generic
sensor that is capable of behavior, it has
intelligence, how can you attribute a criticality

or a hazard function to that sensor?
The only acceptable approach, he argues, is
that the designer of the thing should design it
as if it would be a live threat in the device. Its
firmware should be designed to be as robust
as possible to counter cyber attacks.
Other steps like actively authenticating the
communications of this sensor to the cloud
and to peers at all levels, as well as encrypting
information stored inside the node can help
deter would-be cyber attackers.
The technological conundrum that the
designers are facing right now is that they
dont even perceive the threat of these
so-called non-functional requirements in
software and hardware developments,
Doin says.

designing it. At that level, you can start seeing

logical flaws in what you are doing, Thomas
explains.
He knows what hes talking about. A
Founding Partner and Research Scientist at
the computer and network security firm,
Atredis, he describes what he does this way:
I used to write hard things and now I enjoy
breaking them.
Engineers make design decisions like, Lets
just put a web server inside the coffee maker
were building, because it is the easiest way
to solve the problem, he says, But they do
it without thinking about the implications of
that decision or thinking about other ways
to achieve connectivity without throwing
their device directly into the big, wide, open
Internet.
He argues that engineers must transform

requirements from non-functional to
functional requirements in order to ensure
the safety and security in all things, because
you dont always know where the sensor will
be used in the system.
Like every other design decision, Thomas

argues that security is not a zero or a
one. Rather, it is a set of trade-offs and
compromises made in the face of the
business drivers for the product and the cost
and resources it takes to design in a particular
level of security.
Josh Thomas, a Security Researcher with

a background in advanced software
development, advises engineers to step back
a couple of levels and look at the architecture
they are designing and how they are
His advice? When it comes to security,

engineers should be constantly
analyzing their designs and determining
what level of security is good enough for
a particular product.

How do you view your interfaces?

HARDWARE
Embedded consultant, Jacob Beningo, has one

important rule when it comes to designing an IoT
device: Whenever possible, choose sensors that
have a standard interface.
A Principal Consultant at Beningo Engineering,
a firm that focuses on embedded software
development and safety critical systems, he stresses
that unless there is a very specific need to use a
sensor with a non-standard interface, just dont.
Fortunately, the world is becoming more

standardized--with I2C and SPI being two of the
most popular interfaces. And silicon vendors are
making the bare metal interface as simple as an
engineer could possibly hope for. But its still not
easy.

Of course there are always projects that require

a cutting edge sensor that provides a unique
functionality and developers are racing to be first to
the market. But theres a penalty associated with it.
Ive worked on a couple of projects where
the engineers chose a custom sensor that had
a specialized interface for connecting to the
microcontroller, says Beningo. But there was no
code or drivers associated with it, in fact nothing
was provided by the sensor manufacturer. They
basically wound up reinventing the wheel, probably
along with a bunch of other companies.
On the flip side, projects tend to go much more
smoothly when using sensors with a standard
interface. The supplier will typically provide code
and drivers. If that is the case, engineers can simply
access the API, freeing themselves up to focus
on what truly differentiates the product in the
marketplace.

The need for analog
Engineers today not only need to know both hardware and software, they have to understand the
intersection between those two in a way that was not required in the past, said Michael Anderson. Its not
as simple as, Okay, I am going to plug this USB device in and this is going to work. Its really forcing the
issue of engineers having to spend the time to understand how the hardware functions and understand
the timing of the hardware.

The need for analog

One of the particular challenges I see today is a

consequence of the fact that you can buy a nice sensor
for almost nothing...
INTRO
CHALLENGE 1
The complexity
Even for analog engineers, analog is not an easy discipline to grasp; many engineers describe
it as more of an art than science, a kind of engineering black magic.
But since the world is an ugly, noisy, drifty place that sensors interact with, engineers
designing for the IoT are being forced to deal with analogoften when they would prefer
not to.
CHALLENGE 2
Unfortunately, analog expertise isnt exactly something an engineer can pick up on the
weekends or by doing a hobby project. Stories routinely circulate about analog engineers
being lured out of retirement to work on projects because of the rarity of their skills.
CHALLENGE 3
datasheets required
This business is demanding more and more of engineers who know the disciplines of
traditional embedded stuff, says Jack Ganssle, an internationally recognized Embedded
Systems Engineer, Author and Speaker.
CHALLENGE 4
The security issues
One of the particular challenges I see today is a consequence of the fact that you can buy a
nice sensor for almost nothing, says Ganssle. Fantastic! But with some of these sensors, you
have to know a fair amount of analog electronics like the use of log amps [a circuit that can
handle large dynamic ranges]. That technology is going to be outside of the comfort zone of
not just about every digital person, but many analog engineers who have never had to deal
with them.
Optical data, since it tends to have a huge dynamic range, is particularly problematic. It
means that an engineer has to do something ugly like log compressions before digitizing the
data, and then may have to do antilogs to restore the range, emphasized Ganssle. To do an
antilog in code is no fun. Its worse when the use of floating point isnt an option, perhaps for
speed constraints or for limited memory.
The situation is exacerbated by the fact that projects today get rushed. Engineers may take
analog data into the processor without being sure of how to process that data or knowing
and understanding the algorithms necessary to extract meaningful information from it (the
exception may be firmware engineers, many of whom are EEs and generally have a good
math background).
CHALLENGE 5
Ganssle points to the fairly simple example of a bathroom scale. How do you know if its
right? Load cells are not always linearwill everyone trying to develop a weight tracking
app worry about that? Some will and some maybe wont, because you have to correct for
that non-linearity in the software. That takes a fair amount of testing, maybe even over a
temperature range. And some sensors need calibration how will the engineers handle
that?

The cloud
When it comes to
connecting to the
Internet, the big issue
that I see is that a lot of
embedded engineers
dont have experience
with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
or even Zigbee, says
Beningo. Its completely
unfamiliar territory that
they are struggling to navigate while at the same time theyre
under pressure to get the product out the door.
For engineers more familiar with embedded systems there
is yet another wrinkle. If you have an unconnected device,
everything happens in the hardware, says Beningo. As soon
as you have a connected component, you have to choose
to do none, or some, or all of the data processing on the
actual device or do the computation and the processing
and analytics in the cloud or some server in your computer
warehouse.
Offloading more processor chores to other parts of the
system frees up designers from having to worry about the
constraints of what often is a little, cheap device. But it does
add a second piece to the puzzle that needs consideration.
Adrian Fernandez, a Microcontroller Customer Experience
Manager at Texas Instruments, sees more choices in where
the processing gets done as a benefit to developers. Lots of
applications rely on the core duty cycle of an MCU, and now
that we have the smarter sensors and the cloud I see it as
more knobs that engineers can turn.
He points to the example of an intelligent sensor device

that can do a little bit of preprocessing, which eliminates the
need for the MCU to wake up. And if I can do a little more
math on the sensor maybe that means I can minimize or
limit the need to poke the MCU with new data to process,
he explains. And maybe I can also minimize the number of
times that I send data up to the cloud, which means less Wi-Fi
transmission. There are so many more options.
Engineers develop skills in doing that kind of trade-off
analysis and managing the consequences of the decisions
they make through time and experience. In an ideal world,
Beningo recommends that engineers should find someone
who has worked on an IoT system and is willing to talk
through the step-by-step process of not just the what of the
software and hardware components, but also the why.

Understanding how others have worked through a design

and their thought process, in a sense looking over their
shoulder, is one of the most important ways that engineers
learn, says Beningo.
In addition, he says a multi-pronged attack is the best
approach for maintaining relevant engineering skills today.
Acquire a very high-level understanding over the whole
broad area so you have a basic understanding of the IoT
protocol, sensor interfacing and connectivity. But in the areas

Conclusion
While the IoT will require engineers to pay closer attention to power, analog, and systems connectivity, embedded developers should also consider taking a crash course in
data analytics. It may seem like a stretch, but the amount, type and frequency of data collection and communication directly affects system performance in terms of memory
requirements and power consumption, as well as the type of wired or wireless interface needed. In addition, many organizations struggle with Big Data because it involves
stakeholders across the organization, many of whom may still operate in a siloed fashion. If you can add value to this discussion of the ultimate goals and objectives of a data
analytics initiativeand what data needs to be gathered and how oftenyou go from that person who assembles Lego blocks to give us our data to being seen as strategic data
partner with an end-to-end perspective and with a strong voice in the boardroom.
And as is true for engineers doing any type of designIoT or otherwisecontinuously scan news and information, learning is a lifelong endeavor: Take courses, go to conferences,
scan news and trends, read what you get your hands on in order to keep up with technology advancements, new ways of thinking, and the ever-evolving landscape of standards.
