This document discusses using Eclipse Kura and related Eclipse projects like Apache Camel, Eclipse Paho, and Apache ActiveMQ on an Intel Edison board. It provides instructions for installing Kura, connecting it to Eclipse, deploying Camel routes, integrating with Paho and ActiveMQ, and developing custom Camel components. Key aspects covered include Kura's OSGI-based architecture, using it for IoT gateways, and configuring networking and logging.

2. About the presenter
• Ankur Sharma is a Principal Software Engineer
with EMC
• Ex-committer to Eclipse PDE project

3. Eclipse Kura
• Kura is lightweight OSGI based container for
IOT gateways.
• Sensors as declarative services?
• http://wiki.eclipse.org/Kura/Getting_Started
• http://www.eclipse.org/kura/downloads.php

5. Stable vs No Net Stable
• Files with "(No Net)" will provide frameworks in which
Kura will not assist in configuring network interfaces or
firewall.
• nn version skips
▫ bind.init
▫ dos2unix.bin
▫ firewall.init
▫ iptables.init
▫ …

6. Installing Kura
• http://wiki.eclipse.org/Kura/Getting_Started
• Download installation script (kura_1.4.0_intel-edison-nn.sh)
• Re/Starting Kura
▫ /etc/init.d/kura start/stop/restart/status
• Install location
▫ $HOME/eclipse/kura

7. Kura Logs
• Kura framework logs
▫ $HOME/log/kura.log
• OSGI console log
▫ /var/log/kura-console.log
• Log settings
▫ /etc/logrotate.d/kura

8. Kura in Eclipse
• Connecting to framework
• Deploying on Kura

9. Apache Camel
• Routing and mediation engine
• Supports URIs, bean binding and direct API
• Small. Minimalistic dependencies
• Massive repository of pluggable components
• Easy to code new components

10. Apache Camel over Kura
• Integrated directly in Kura 2.0.0 onwards
• Core plugins
▫ camel-core
▫ camel-osgi
▫ camel-kura
• Configuration
▫ /eclipse/kura/kura/config.ini
org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=sun.*,com.sun.*

11. My own Camel Component
• Component
• Endpoint
• Producer
• Consumer

13. Eclipse Paho
• The Eclipse Paho project provides open-source
client implementations of MQTT messaging
protocol aimed at new, existing, and emerging
applications for the Internet of Things (IoT).

14. Paho Clients

15. Get Paho
• https://www.eclipse.org/paho/downloads.php
• Java Client
▫ https://www.eclipse.org/paho/clients/java/

16. Deploying Paho
• Java Library
▫ org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3
• PDE Target Platform
▫ org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3
• Camel/Kura
▫ camel-paho
▫ org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3

17. Apache ActiveMQ
• Open source messaging
• Integration Patterns server
• Supports cross language clients
▫ .net, c++, java, go, python, perl, ruby,…
• Supports various protocols
▫ AMQP, MQTT, OpenWire, STOMP

18. ActiveMQ and Camel
• Camel supports direct integration
▫ activemq-camel
▫ JMS based
▫ Requires spring
▫ http://camel.apache.org/activemq.html
• ActiveMQ automatically converts MQTT
messages into JMS messages
• We are here using ActiveMQ as MQTT server
