h3. Examples

h2. Networking

* "WiFi AP + client":http://imti.co/post/145442415333/raspberry-pi-3-wifi-station-ap describes how to setup a wifi dongle as both an AP and a client, routing between the two.  We don't need to route from the sensors to the internet, however.

h2. APIs

* "Mozilla IoT":https://iot.mozilla.org/ - Mozilla's IoT software based on WoT; provides a sample implementation that might be useful to follow for IronMan, at least in the UI.

** "Door Alarm w/ deep sleep mode":https://github.com/chaeplin/esp8266_and_arduino/blob/master/_48-door-alarm-deepsleep/_48-door-alarm-deepsleep.ino - This allows using both a software timeout and an alarm interrupt to wake from deep sleep.  Design is similar to this "PIR-based implementation":https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1488 ("diagram only":https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/25507805/25678678/de4659a0-304a-11e7-90d4-a5c19241e7f6.png)

h2. Security

* "Securing Embedded Linux":https://www.linux.com/news/securing-embedded-linux

* AES

** This is a symmetric encryption technique which means there is only one shared secret.  Public/Private keys are not used with AES.

** "Symmetric AES using IVs (initial vectors)":https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=88890.msg1726730#msg1726730

h2. Software updates

Three parts to a software update: bootloader, kernel and rootfs/apps.

# This adds u-boot as 3rd stage bootloader to Pi. First stage (in hardware) doesn't change and 2nd stage (binary blobs) only change with new SD cards.

# u-boot is used to swap between kernels and partitions, test sanity of new images.

# kernel fallback capability is required

# rootfs/apps fallback capability is required

* "Building Murphy-compatible embedded Linux systems":https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2005/ols2005v1-pages-21-36.pdf

* "Implementing update system for embedded Linux":https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6937592/implementing-an-update-upgrade-system-for-embedded-linux-devices discussion on stackoverflow
