Abstract

The Internet of Things concept relies on physical objects being Internet-enabled. This paper describes a device to allow an object to be Internet-enabled using wired-Ethernet, using an inexpensive and power-efficient implementation based on a port of the Contiki operating system (for use with the Texas Instruments LM3S6965 processor). We demonstrate that it is possible to run the Contiki operating system on an Ethernet-enabled microprocessor and that such a low-cost device is suitable for inclusion in consumer products as well as further Internet of Things research projects.
