 IoT Physical Devices & Endpoints
• What are IoT physical devices and endpoints?
• An Endpoint, from an IoT perspective, is a physical computing device
that performs a function or task as a part of an Internet connected
product or service. An Endpoint, for example, could be a wearable
fitness device, an industrial control system, an automotive telematics
unit or even a personal drone unit.
• What are physical devices in IoT?
• IoT refers to any system of physical devices that receive and transfer
data over wireless networks with limited human intervention. This is
made possible by integrating compute devices in all kinds of objects.
 IoT Physical Devices & Endpoints
• IoT Device
• Thing in Internet of Things(IoT) can be any object that has a unique identifier and
which can send/receive data over a network.
• IoT devices are connected to the internet and send information about themselves
or about their surroundings over a network or allow actuation upon the physical
entities or environment around them remotely.
• Some example of IoT devices are:
• A Home Automation device that allows remotely control and monitor the
appliances.
• An Industrial Machine which sends information about its operation and health
monitoring data to a server.
• A car sends information about its location to a cloud based service.
• A wireless enabled wearable device that measures data about a person such as
number of steps walked and send the data to a cloud based service.
 IoT Physical Devices & Endpoints
• Basic Building block of an IoT device
• IoT stands for "Internet of Things," which means using the Internet to connect different
things. IoT is an intersection between the physical and virtual worlds. It essentially maps
virtual operations onto real interactions.
• IoT device consists of a number of modules based on functional attributes:
• Sensors:
• It can be either on board the IoT device or attached to the device. IoT device can collect
various types of information from the onboard or attached sensors such as temperature,
humidity, light intensity etc.
• The sensed information can be communicated either to other devices or cloud based
server/storage. These form the front end of the IoT devices. These are the so called “Things”
of the system.
• Their main purpose is to collect data from its surrounding (sensors) or give out data to its
surrounding (actuators). These have to be uniquely identifiable devices with a unique IP
address so that they can be easily identifiable over a large network. It should be able to
collect real time data. Examples of sensors are: gas sensor, water quality sensor, moisture
sensor etc.
 IoT Physical Devices & Endpoints
• Actuation:
• IoT devices can have various types of actuators attached that allow taking actions
upon the physical entities in the vicinity of the device. Example relay switch
connected to an IoT device can turn appliances on/off based on the commands
send to the device.
• Processors:
• Processors are the brain of the IoT system. Their main function is to process the
data captured by the sensors and process them so as to extract the valuable data
from the enormous amount of raw data collected. It gives intelligence to the
data. Processors mostly work on real-time basis and can be easily controlled by
applications. These are also responsible for securing the data – that is performing
encryption and decryption of data.
 IoT Physical Devices & Endpoints
• Communication:
• It is responsible for sending collected data to other devices or cloud based
servers/storage and receiving data from other devices and commands from
remote applications.
• Gateways are responsible for routing the processed data and send it to proper
locations for its (data) proper utilization. Gateway helps in to and fro
communication of the data. It provides network connectivity to the data.
• Network connectivity is essential for any IoT system to communicate. LAN, WAN,
PAN etc are examples of network gateways.
• Analysis & Processing:
• These are responsible for taking decision based upon the collected data.
• Given diagram shows the Single Board Computer(SBC) based IoT device that
includes CPU, GPU,RAM, storage and various types of interfaces and peripherals.
IoT Physical Devices & Endpoints
• What are IoT devices?
IoT Device
• IoT devices are the nonstandard computing devices that connect wirelessly to a network and have the
ability to transmit data, such as the many devices on the internet of things (IoT).
• IoT involves extending internet connectivity beyond standard devices, such as desktops, laptops,
smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditionally "dumb" or non-internet-enabled physical devices and
everyday objects. Embedded with technology, these devices can communicate and interact over the
internet. They can also be remotely monitored and controlled.
• What are the IoT devices and examples of IoT devices?
• IoT devices are pieces of hardware, such as sensors, actuators, gadgets, appliances, or machines, that are
programmed for certain applications and can transmit data over the internet or other networks. They can
be embedded into other mobile devices, industrial equipment, environmental sensors, medical devices,
and more.
• There are several top devices in the market. Smart Mobiles, smart refrigerators, smart watches, smart fire
alarm, smart door lock, smart bicycle, medical sensors, fitness trackers, smart security system etc., are
few examples of IoT products.
• Why IoT Devices?
• Increasingly, IoT devices are using AI and machine learning to bring intelligence and autonomy to systems
and processes, such as autonomous driving, industrial smart manufacturing, medical equipment, and home
automation. Many of these devices are small, power- and cost-constrained microcontroller-based systems.
Network bandwidth and consumer expectations around data privacy and user experience continue to
demand more on-device processing, where data is processed on the IoT endpoint, rather than using cloud-
based approaches.
 IoT Device
• How do IoT Devices Work?
• Different IoT devices have different functions, but they all have
similarities in terms of how they work. Firstly, IoT devices are physical
objects that sense things going on in the physical world. They contain
an integrated CPU, network adapter and firmware, and are usually
connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server. It also
requires an IP address to function over the network.
• Most IoT devices are configured and managed through a software
application. For example, an app on your smartphone to control the
lights in your home. Some devices also have integrated web servers,
which eliminates the need for external applications. For example, the
lights switch on immediately when you enter a room.
 Examples of IoT Devices
• Home Security
• The key driver behind smart and secure homes is IoT. A variety of sensors, lights, alarms and cameras (all
of which can be controlled from a smartphone) are connected via IoT to provide 24x7 security.
• Activity Trackers
• Smart home security cameras provide alerts and peace of mind. Activity trackers are sensor devices that
can monitor and transmit key health indicators in real-time. You can track and manage your blood
pressure, appetite, physical movement and oxygen levels.
• Industrial Security and Safety
• IoT-enabled detection systems, sensors and cameras can be placed in restricted areas to detect
trespassers. They can also identify pressure buildups and small leaks of hazardous chemicals and fix
them before they become serious problems.
• Augmented Reality Glasses
• Augmented Reality (AR) glasses are wearable computer-enabled glasses that help you get extra
information such as 3D animations and videos to the user's real-world scenes. The information is
presented within the lenses of the glasses and can help users access Internet applications.
• Motion Detection
• Motion sensors can detect vibrations in buildings, bridges, dams and other large-scale structures. These
devices can identify anomalies and disturbances in the structures that could lead to catastrophic failures.
They can also be used in areas susceptible to floods, landslides, and earthquakes.

 Raspberry Pi Board Overview
• The Raspberry Pi comes in a variety of form factors for different use
cases. In this tutorial, you’ll be looking at the most recent version, the
Raspberry Pi 4.
• Below is the board layout of the Raspberry Pi 4. While this layout is
slightly different from previous models of the Raspberry Pi, most of
the connections are the same. The setup described in the next section
should be the same for both a Raspberry Pi 3 and a Raspberry Pi 4:
Raspberry Pi Board Overview
 Raspberry Pi Board Overview
• The Raspberry Pi 4 board contains the following components:
• General-purpose input–output pins: These pins are used to connect
the Raspberry Pi to electronic components.
• Ethernet port: This port connects the Raspberry Pi to a wired
network. The Raspberry Pi also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in for
wireless connections.
• Two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports: These USB ports are used to
connect peripherals like a keyboard or mouse. The two black ports are
USB 2.0 and the two blue ports are USB 3.0.
• AV jack: This AV jack allows you to connect speakers or headphones
to the Raspberry Pi.
 Raspberry Pi Board Overview
• Camera Module port: This port is used to connect the
official Raspberry Pi Camera Module, which enables the Raspberry Pi to
capture images.
• HDMI ports: These HDMI ports connect the Raspberry Pi to external
monitors. The Raspberry Pi 4 features two micro HDMI ports, allowing it to
drive two separate monitors at the same time.
• USB power port: This USB port powers the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi
4 has a USB Type-C port, while older versions of the Pi have a micro-
USB port.
• External display port: This port is used to connect the official seven-inch
Raspberry Pi touch display for touch-based input on the Raspberry Pi.
• microSD card slot (underside of the board): This card slot is for the
microSD card that contains the Raspberry Pi operating system and files.
 Raspberry Pi vs Arduino
• People often wonder what the difference is between a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino. The
Arduino is another device that is widely used in physical computing. While there is some
overlap in the capabilities of the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi, there are some distinct
differences.
• The Arduino platform provides a hardware and software interface for programming
microcontrollers. A microcontroller is an integrated circuit that allows you to read input
from and send output to electronic components. Arduino boards generally have limited
memory, so they’re often used to repeatedly run a single program that interacts with
electronics.
• The Raspberry Pi is a general-purpose, Linux-based computer. It has a full operating
system with a GUI interface that is capable of running many different programs at the
same time.
• The Raspberry Pi comes with a variety of software preinstalled, including a web browser,
an office suite, a terminal, and even Minecraft. The Raspberry Pi also has built-in Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth to connect to the Internet and external peripherals.
• For running Python, the Raspberry Pi is often the better choice, as you get a full-fledged
Python installation out of the box without any configuration.
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• Unlike the Arduino, which requires only a USB cable and a computer to set up, the
Raspberry Pi has more hardware requirements to get up and running. After the initial
setup, though, some of these peripherals will no longer be required.
• Required Hardware
• The following hardware is required for the initial setup of your Raspberry Pi. If you end
up connecting to your Raspberry Pi over SSH, then some of the hardware below will
not be needed after the initial setup.
• Monitor
• You’ll need a monitor during the initial setup and configuration of the operating
system. If you’ll be using SSH to connect to your Raspberry Pi, then you won’t need the
monitor after setup. Make sure your monitor has an HDMI input.
• microSD Card
• Raspberry Pi uses a microSD card to store the operating system and files. If you buy a
Raspberry Pi kit, then it will contain a preformatted microSD card for you to use. If you
buy a microSD card separately, then you’ll need to format it yourself. Look for a
microSD card with at least 16GB of capacity.
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• Keyboard and Mouse
• A USB keyboard and mouse are required during the initial setup of the Raspberry
Pi. Once the setup is complete, you can switch to using Bluetooth versions of
these peripherals if you prefer. Later in this tutorial, you’ll see how to connect to
the Raspberry Pi over SSH. If you choose to connect this way, then a physical
keyboard and mouse are not required after the initial setup.
• HDMI Cables
• You’ll need an HDMI cable to connect the Raspberry Pi to a monitor. Different
Raspberry Pi models have different HDMI cable requirements:
Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi 4 3/2/1 Zero
micro HDMI HDMI mini HDMI
micro HDMI to HDMI to HDMI mini HDMI to
HDMI HDMI

Depending on your model, you may need to purchase a special HDMI cable or adapter.
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• Power Supply
• The Raspberry Pi uses a USB connection to power the board. Again,
different Raspberry Pi models have different USB connection and
power requirements.
• Below are the connection and power requirements for the different
models:
Raspberry Pi 4 Raspberry Pi 3/2/1/Zero
USB-C Micro-USB
At least 3.0 amps At least 2.5 amps

To avoid any confusion when selecting a power supply, it’s recommended that you use the official power
supply for your Raspberry Pi 4 or other model.
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• Optional Hardware
• You can use a whole range of additional hardware with the Raspberry Pi to
extend its capabilities. The hardware items listed below are not required to
use your Raspberry Pi but would be useful to have on hand.
• Case
• It’s nice to have a case for your Raspberry Pi to keep its components from
being damaged during normal use. When selecting a case, make sure that
you purchase the correct type for your model of the Raspberry Pi.
• Speakers
• If you want to play music or sound from your Raspberry Pi, then you’ll need
speakers. These can be any standard speakers that have a 3.5 mm jack. You
can connect the speakers to the Raspberry Pi using the AV jack on the side of
the board.
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• Heat Sinks (Recommended)
• The Raspberry Pi can do a lot of computing for a little board. This is one of the
reasons it’s so awesome! But this does mean that it can get a little hot
sometimes. It’s recommended that you purchase a set of heatsinks to prevent
the Raspberry Pi from throttling the CPU when it gets too hot.
• Software
• The operating system for the Raspberry Pi is stored on a microSD card. If your
card did not come from an official Raspberry Pi kit, then you’ll need to install
the operating system on it.
• There are multiple ways to set up the operating system on your Raspberry Pi.
You can find out more about the different installation options on the
Raspberry Pi website.
• In this section, you’ll look at two ways to install Raspbian, the officially
supported Raspberry Pi operating system, which is based on Debian Linux.
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• Raspberry Pi Imager
(Recommended)
• The Raspberry Pi foundation
recommends that you use
the Raspberry Pi Imager for the
initial setup of your SD card.
You can download the imager
from the
Raspberry Pi Downloads page.
Once on this page, download
the appropriate version for
your operating system:
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• After you’ve downloaded
the Raspberry Pi Imager,
start the application. You’ll
see a screen that allows
you to select the
operating system that you
want to install along with
the SD card you would like
to format:
You’ll be given two options when first loading the application: Choose OS and Choose SD Card. Select Choose OS first.

Note: There’s a chance that Windows may prevent the Raspberry Pi Imager from starting because it’s an unrecognized
application. If you receive a pop-up that says Windows protected your PC, then you can still run the application by
clicking More info and selecting Run anyway.
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi

• With the application running, click the Choose OS button and choose
the first Raspbian option:
 Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
• After selecting the
Raspbian operating
system, you need to
select the SD card
you’re going to use.
Make sure your microSD
card is inserted into
your computer and
click Choose SD Card,
then select the SD card
from the menu:

 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Terminal
• The terminal (or 'command-line') on a computer allows a user a great
deal of control over their system. Users of Windows may already have
come across command Prompt or Powershell, while mac OS users
may be familiar with Terminal. All of these tools allow a user to
directly manipulate their system through the use of commands. These
commands can be chained together and/or combined together into
complex scripts that can potentially complete tasks more efficiently
than much larger traditional software packages
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• On the Raspberry Pi OS, the default terminal application is called
LXTerminal. This is known as a 'terminal emulator', this means that it
emulates the old style video terminals — from before Windowing
systems were developed — inside a graphical environment. The
application can be found on the Raspberry Pi desktop, and when started
will look something like this:

• In the terminal window you should be able to see the following prompt:
pi@raspberrypi ~$
• This shows your username and the hostname of the Pi. Here the
username is pi and the hostname is raspberrypi.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Navigating and
browsing your Pi
• One of the key
aspects of using a
terminal is being able
to navigate your file
system. Go ahead and
type ls -la into the
Terminal window, and
then hit the RETURN
key. You should see
something similar to:
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• The ls command lists the contents of the directory that you are
currently in (your present working directory).
• The -la component of the command is what’s known as a 'flag'. Flags
modify the command that’s being run.
• In this case the l displays the contents of the directory in a list,
showing data such as their sizes and when they were last edited, and
the a displays all files, including those beginning with a. known as
'dotfiles'. Dotfiles usually act as configuration files for software and as
they are written in text, they can be modified by simply editing them.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• In order to navigate to other directories, the change directory
command,cd can be used. You can specify the directory that you want
to go to by either the 'absolute' or the 'relative' path.
• So if you wanted to navigate to the phython_games directory, you
could either do cd /home/pi/phython_games or just cd
python_games (if you are currently in home/pi).
• There are some special cases that may be useful: ~ acts as an alias for
your home directory, so ~/python_games is the same as
/hoem/pi/python_games; . and .. are aliases for the current directory
and the parent directory respectively, e.g. if you were in
home/pi/python_games, cd.. would take you to /hoem/pi.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• History and auto-complete
• Rather than type every command, the terminal allows you to scroll
through previous commands that you’ve run by pressing the up
or down keys on your keyboard.
• If you are writing the name of a file or directory as part of a command
then pressing tab will attempt to auto-complete the name of what
you are typing. For example, if you have a file in a directory
called aLongFileName then pressing tab after typing a will allow you
to choose from all file and directory names beginning with a in the
current directory, allowing you to choose aLongFileName.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• The Sudo command
• Some commands that make permanent changes to the state of your
system require you to have root privileges to run. The
command sudo temporarily gives your account (if you’re not already
logged in as root) the ability to run these commands, provided your
user name is in a list of users ('sudoers'). When you append sudo to
the start of a command and press enter, the command following
sudo will be run using root privileges. Be very careful: commands
requiring root privileges can irreparably damage your system! Note
that on some systems you will be prompted to enter your password
when you run a command with sudo.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Installing software using apt
• The apt command is used to install software in Raspberry Pi OS. This is
the 'package manager' that is included with any Debian-based Linux
distributions, including Raspberry Pi OS. It allows you to install and
manage new software packages on your Raspberry Pi.
• In order to install a new package, you would type sudo apt install
<package-name>, where <package-name> is the package that you want
to install.
• Running sudo apt update will update a list of software packages that are
available on your system. If a new version of a package is available,
then sudo apt full-upgrade will update any old packages to the new
version.
• Finally, sudo apt remove <package-name> removes or uninstalls a
package from your system.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Other useful commands
• There are a few other commands that you may find useful, these are listed below:
• cp makes a copy of a file and places it at the specified location (essentially doing a 'copy-
paste'), for example - cp file_a /home/other_user/ would copy the file file_a from your
home directory to that of the user other_user (assuming you have permission to copy it
there). Note that if the target is a folder, the filename will remain the same, but if the
target is a filename, it will give the file the new name.
• mv moves a file and places it at the specified location (so where cp performs a 'copy-
paste', mv performs a 'cut-paste'). The usage is similar to cp, so mv file_a
/home/other_user/ would move the file file_a from your home directory to that of the
specified user. mv is also used to rename a file, i.e. move it to a new location, e.g. mv
hello.txt story.txt.
• rm removes the specified file (or directory when used with -r). Warning: Files deleted in
this way are generally not restorable.
• mkdir: This makes a new directory, e.g. mkdir new_dir would create the
directory new_dir in the present working directory.
• cat lists the contents of files, e.g. cat some_file will display the contents of some_file.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Finding out about a command
• To find out more information about a particular command then you
can run the man followed by the command you want to know more
about (e.g. man ls). The man-page (or manual page) for that
command will be displayed, including information about the flags for
that program and what effect they have. Some man-pages will give
example usage.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• The Linux File System
• It is important to have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of the Linux file system:
where your files are kept, where software is installed, where the danger zones are, and so on.
• Home
• When you log into a Pi and open a terminal window, or you boot to the command line instead
of the graphical user interface, you start in your home folder; this is located at /home/pi,
assuming your username is pi.
• This is where the user’s own files are kept. The contents of the user’s desktop is in a directory
here called Desktop, along with other files and folders.
• To navigate to your home folder on the command line, simply type cd and press Enter. This is
the equivalent of typing cd /home/pi, where pi is your username. You can also use the tilde
key (~), for example cd ~, which can be used to relatively link back to your home folder. For
instance, cd ~/Desktop/ is the same as cd /home/pi/Desktop.
• Navigate to /home/ and run ls, and you’ll see the home folders of each of the users on the
system.
• Note that if logged in as the root user, typing cd or cd ~ will take you to the root user’s home
directory; unlike normal users, this is located at /root/ not /home/root/.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Linux Commands
Linux Command Use
The ls command lists the content of the current directory (or one that is specified). It
can be used with the -l flag to display additional information (permissions, owner,
ls group, size, date and timestamp of last edit) about each file and directory in a list
format. The -a flag allows you to view files beginning with . (i.e. dotfiles).

Using cd changes the current directory to the one specified. You can use relative
cd (i.e. cd directoryA) or absolute (i.e. cd /home/pi/directoryA) paths.
The pwd command displays the name of the present working directory: on a Raspberry
pwd Pi, entering pwd will output something like /home/pi.
You can use mkdir to create a new directory, e.g. mkdir newDir would create the
mkdir directory newDir in the present working directory.
To remove empty directories, use rmdir. So, for example, rmdir oldDir will remove the
rmdir directory oldDir only if it is empty.
The command rmremoves the specified file (or recursively from a directory when used
rm with -r). Be careful with this command: files deleted in this way are mostly gone for
good!
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Linux Commands
Linux Command Use
Using cp makes a copy of a file and places it at the specified location (this is similar to copying
and pasting). For example, cp ~/fileA /home/otherUser/ would copy the file fileA from your home
cp directory to that of the user otherUser (assuming you have permission to copy it there). This
command can either take FILE FILE (cp fileA fileB), FILE DIR (cp fileA /directoryB/) or -r DIR
DIR (which recursively copies the contents of directories) as arguments.
The mv command moves a file and places it at the specified location (so where cp performs a
'copy-paste', mv performs a 'cut-paste'). The usage is similar to cp. So mv ~/fileA
/home/otherUser/ would move the file fileA from your home directory to that of the user otherUser.
mv
This command can either take FILE FILE (mv fileA fileB), FILE DIR (mv fileA /directoryB/) or DIR
DIR (mv /directoryB /directoryC) as arguments. This command is also useful as a method to
rename files and directories after they’ve been created.
The command touch sets the last modified time-stamp of the specified file(s) or creates it if it does
touch not already exist.
You can use cat to list the contents of file(s), e.g. cat thisFile will display the contents of thisFile.
cat Can be used to list the contents of multiple files, i.e. cat *.txt will list the contents of all .txt files in
the current directory.
The head command displays the beginning of a file. Can be used with -n to specify the number of
head lines to show (by default ten), or with -c to specify the number of bytes.
The opposite of head, tail displays the end of a file. The starting point in the file can be specified
tail either through -b for 512 byte blocks, -c for bytes, or -n for number of lines.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Linux Commands
Linux Command Use
You would normally use chmod to change the permissions for a file. The chmod command can
use symbols u (user that owns the file), g (the files group) , and o (other users) and the
chmod permissions r (read), w (write), and x (execute). Using chmod u+x filename will add execute
permission for the owner of the file.

The chown command changes the user and/or group that owns a file. It normally needs to be run
chown as root using sudo e.g. sudo chown pi:root filename will change the owner to pi and the group to
root.
ssh denotes the secure shell. Connect to another computer using an encrypted network
ssh connection. For more details see SSH (secure shell)
The scp command copies a file from one computer to another using ssh. For more details see
scp SCP (secure copy)
The sudo command enables you to run a command as a superuser, or another user. Use sudo -
sudo s for a superuser shell. For more details see Root user / sudo
The dd command copies a file converting the file as specified. It is often used to copy an entire
disk to a single file or back again. So, for example, dd if=/dev/sdd of=backup.img will create a
dd
backup image from an SD card or USB disk drive at /dev/sdd. Make sure to use the correct drive
when copying an image to the SD card as it can overwrite the entire disk
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Linux Commands
Linux Command Use
Use df to display the disk space available and used on the mounted filesystems. Use df -h to see
the output in a human-readable format using M for MBs rather than showing number of bytes.
df

The unzip command extracts the files from a compressed zip file.
unzip

Use tar to store or extract files from a tape archive file. It can also reduce the space required by
compressing the file similar to a zip file.
tar
To create a compressed file, use tar -cvzf filename.tar.gz directory/ To extract the contents of a
file, use tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz
A pipe allows the output from one command to be used as the input for another command. The
pipes pipe symbol is a vertical line |. For example, to only show the first ten entries of the ls command it
can be piped through the head command ls | head
Use the tree command to show a directory and all subdirectories and files indented as a tree
tree structure.
Run a command in the background with &, freeing up the shell for future commands.

"search" *.txt will look in all the files in the current directory ending with .txt for
the string search.
grep
The grep command supports regular expressions which allows special letter
combinations to be included in the search.

awk is a programming language useful for searching and manipulating text

awk files.
The find command searches a directory and subdirectories for files matching
find certain patterns.
Use whereis to find the location of a command. It looks through standard
whereis program locations until it finds the requested command.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Networking Commands
Networking Use
Command
The ping utility is usually used to check if communication can be made with another
host. It can be used with default settings by just specifying a hostname (e.g. ping
raspberrypi.org) or an IP address (e.g. ping 8.8.8.8). It can specify the number of
ping packets to send with the -c flag..

nmap is a network exploration and scanning tool. It can return port and OS information
nmap about a host or a range of hosts. Running just nmap will display the options available
as well as example usage.
The hostname command displays the current hostname of the system. A privileged
hostname (super) user can set the hostname to a new one by supplying it as an argument
(e.g. hostname new-host).
Use ifconfig to display the network configuration details for the interfaces on the current
system when run without any arguments (i.e. ifconfig). By supplying the command with
ipconfig
the name of an interface (e.g. eth0 or lo) you can then alter the configuration: check
the manual page for more details.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Text Editors on Desktop
• Text Editor
• When using Raspberry Pi OS Desktop, in the accessories menu there is an option to
run a Text Editor. This is a simple editor which opens in a window like a normal
application. It allows use of the mouse and keyboard, and has tabs and syntax
highlighting.
• You can use keyboard shortcuts, such as Ctrl + S to save a file and Ctrl + X to exit.
• Thonny
• Thonny is a Python REPL and IDE, so you can write and edit Python code in a
window and run it directly from the editor. Thonny has independent windows, and
syntax highlighting, and uses Python 3.
• Geany
• A fast and lightweight IDE, supporting many different file types, including C/C++ and
Python. It is installed by default on Raspberry Pi OS.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Text Editors in the Terminal
• Nano
• GNU Nano is at the easy-to-use end of command-line editors. It’s installed by default, so use nano
somefile.txt to edit a file, and keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + O to save and Ctrl + X to exit.
• Vi
• Vi is a very old (c. 1976) command-line editor, which is available on most UNIX systems and is pre-
installed on Raspberry Pi OS. It’s succeeded by Vim (Vi Improved), which requires installation.
• Unlike most editors, Vi and Vim have a number of different modes. When you open Vi with vi
somefile.txt, you start in command mode which doesn’t directly permit text entry. Press i to
switch to insert mode in order to edit the file, and type away. To save the file you must return to
command mode, so press the Escape key and enter :w (followed by Enter), which is the command
to write the file to disk.
• To search for the word 'raspberry' in a file, make sure you’re in command mode (press Escape),
then type /raspberry followed by n and N to flick forwards/backwards through the results.
• To save and exit, enter the command :wq. To exit without saving, enter the command :q!.
• Depending on your keyboard configuration, you may find your cursor keys don’t work. In this case,
you can use the H-J-K-L keys (which move left, down, up, and right respectively) to navigate the
file in command mode.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi

• Vim
• Vim is an extension of Vi and works in much the same way, with a
number of improvements. Only Vi is installed by default so to get the full
features of Vim, install it with APT:
sudo apt install vim

• You can edit a file in Vim with vim somefile.txt.

• Emacs
• Emacs is a GNU command-line text editor; it’s powerful, extensible, and
customisable.
sudo apt install You
emacscan install it with APT:

• You can use keyboard combination commands, such as Ctrl + X Ctrl +

S to save and Ctrl + X Ctrl + C to close.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Linux Users
• User management in Raspberry Pi OS is done on the command line. The default user is pi, and
the password is raspberry. You can add users and change each user’s password.
• Changing your Password
• Once you’re logged in as the pi user, it is highly advisable to use the passwd command to
change the default password to improve your Pi’s security.
• Enter passwd on the command line and press Enter. You’ll be prompted to enter your current
password to authenticate, and then asked for a new password. Press Enter on completion and
you’ll be asked to confirm it. Note that no characters will be displayed while entering your
password. Once you’ve correctly confirmed your password, you’ll be shown a success message
(passwd: password updated successfully), and the new password will apply immediately.
• If your user has sudo permissions, you can change another user’s password
with passwd followed by the user’s username. For example, sudo passwd bob will allow you to
set the user bob's password, and then some additional optional values for the user such as
their name. Just press Enter to skip each of these options.
• Remove a User’s Password
• You can remove the password for the user bob with sudo passwd bob -d. Without a password
the user will not be able to login to a Terminal.
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Linux Users
• Creating a New User
• You can create additional users on your Raspberry Pi OS installation with
the adduser command.
• Enter sudo adduser bob and you’ll be prompted for a password for the new user bob. Leave
this blank if you don’t want a password.
• Your Home Folder
• When you create a new user, they will have a home folder in /home/. The pi user’s home
folder is at /home/pi/.
• The skel Command
• Upon creating a new user, the contents of /etc/skel/ will be copied to the new user’s home
folder. You can add or modify dot-files such as the .bashrc in /etc/skel/ to your requirements,
and this version will be applied to new users.
• Deleting a User
• You can delete a user on your system with the command userdel. Apply the -r flag to remove
their home folder too:
• sudo userdel -r bob
 Linux on Raspberry Pi
• The `.bashrc ` File
• In your home folder you will find a hidden file called .bashrc which
contains some user configuration options. You can edit this file to suit
your needs. Changes made in this file will be actioned the next time a
terminal is opened, since that is when the .bashrc file is read.
• Shell Scripts
• Commands can be combined together in a file which can then be
executed. As an example, copy the following into your favourite text
editor: #!/usr/bin/bash
while :
do
Echo Raspberry Pi!
done
Save this with the name fun-script.
Linux on Raspberry Pi
• Before you can run it you must first make it executable; this can be
done by using the change mode command chmod. Each file and
directory has its own set of permissions that dictate what a user can
and can’t do to it. In this case, by running the command chmod +x
fun-script, the file fun-script will now be executable.
• You can then run it by typing ./fun-script (assuming that it’s in your
current directory).
• This script infinitely loops and prints Raspberry Pi!; to stop it,
press Ctrl + C. This kills any command that’s currently being run in the
terminal.
 Raspberry PI Interfaces
• It supports SPI, serial and I2C interfaces for data transfer.
• Serial : Serial Interface on Raspberry has receive(Rx) and Transmit(Tx) pins for
communication with serial peripherals.
• SPI: Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial data protocol used

• How to Choose the Best IoT Platform?
• There’s no definite answer to this question since there’s no one best
platform suitable for any digital project. The choice will always
depend on the specific requirements of your business.
• Large enterprises are more likely to turn to giants such as Amazon or
Microsoft. Their offerings are the best established, but also the most
expensive. Smaller companies may find more cost-efficient options
that will nevertheless perfectly meet their requirements.
• When choosing a provider, you should consider the technical
capabilities of a platform, its partner ecosystem, industry-specific
features and, in general, the provider’s reputation. All these
parameters should comply with your company strategy and budget.
 Arduino

 Arduino
• Arduino Board:
• An Arduino is actually a microcontroller based kit.
• It is basically used in communications and in controlling or operating many devices.
• Arduino UNO board is the most popular board in the Arduino board family.
• In addition, it is the best board to get started with electronics and coding.
• Some boards look a bit different from the one given below, but most Arduino’s have
majority of these components in common.
• It consists of two memories- Program memory and the data memory.
• The code is stored in the flash program memory, whereas the data is stored in the
data memory.
• Arduino Uno consists of 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as
PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a
power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button

 1.Power USB Arduino board can be powered by using the USB cable from your computer. All you
need to do is connect the USB cable to the USB connection (1).
 2.Power (Barrel Jack) Arduino boards can be powered directly from the AC mains power supply by
connecting it to the Barrel Jack (2).
 3.Voltage Regulator The function of the voltage regulator is to control the voltage given to the
Arduino board and stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other elements.
 4.Crystal Oscillator The crystal oscillator helps Arduino in dealing with time issues. How does
Arduino calculate time? The answer is, by using the crystal oscillator. The number printed on top of
the Arduino crystal is 16.000H9H. It tells us that the frequency is 16,000,000 Hertz or 16 MHz.
 5,17.Arduino Reset You can reset your Arduino board, i.e., start your program from the beginning.
You can reset the UNO board in two ways. First, by using the reset button (17) on the board. Second,
you can connect an external reset button to the Arduino pin labelled RESET (5).
• 6,7,8,9.Pins (3.3, 5, GND, Vin)
• 3.3V (6) − Supply 3.3 output volt
• 5V (7) − Supply 5 output volt
• Most of the components used with Arduino board works fine with 3.3 volt and 5 volt.
• GND (8)(Ground) − There are several GND pins on the Arduino, any of which can be used to ground your circuit.
• Vin (9) − This pin also can be used to power the Arduino board from an external power source, like AC mains
power supply.
 Arduino
• 10.Analog pins The Arduino UNO board has six analog input pins A0
through A5. These pins can read the signal from an analog sensor like
the humidity sensor or temperature sensor and convert it into a
digital value that can be read by the microprocessor.
• 11.Main microcontroller Each Arduino board has its own
microcontroller (11). You can assume it as the brain of your board.
The main IC (integrated circuit) on the Arduino is slightly different
from board to board. The microcontrollers are usually of the ATMEL
Company. You must know what IC your board has before loading up a
new program from the Arduino IDE. This information is available on
the top of the IC. For more details about the IC construction and
functions, you can refer to the data sheet.
 Arduino
• 12.ICSP pin Mostly, ICSP (12) is an AVR, a tiny programming header
for the Arduino consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND.
It is often referred to as an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), which
could be considered as an "expansion" of the output. Actually, you are
slaving the output device to the mas

Arduino into a power source to indicate that your board is powered
up correctly. If this light does not turn on, then there is something
wrong with the connection. ter of the SPI bus.
 Arduino
• 14.TX and RX LEDs On your board, you will find two labels: TX
(transmit) and RX (receive). They appear in two places on the Arduino
UNO board. First, at the digital pins 0 and 1, to indicate the pins
responsible for serial communication. Second, the TX and RX led (13).
The TX led flashes with different speed while sending the serial data.
The speed of flashing depends on the baud rate used by the board. RX
flashes during the receiving process.
• 15.Digital I/O
• The Arduino UNO board has 14 digital I/O pins (15) (of which 6 provide PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) output. These pins can be configured to work as
input digital pins to read logic values (0 or 1) or as digital output pins to drive
different modules like LEDs, relays, etc. The pins labeled “~” can be used to
generate PWM.
 Arduino
• 16.AREF
• AREF stands for Analog Reference. It is sometimes, used to set an external
reference voltage (between 0 and 5 Volts) as the upper limit for the analog input
pins.
Program an Arduino
The most important advantage with Arduino is the programs can be directly loaded
to the device without requiring any hardware programmer to burn the program.
This is done because of the presence of the 0.5KB of Bootloader which allows the
program to be burned into the circuit.
All we have to do is to download the Arduino software and writing the code.
The Arduino tool window consists of the toolbar with the buttons like verify,
upload, new, open, save, serial monitor.
It also consists of a text editor to write the code, a message area which displays the
feedback like showing the errors, the text console which displays the output and a
series of menus like the File, Edit, Tools menu.
 Arduino
• Steps to program an Arduino
• Programs written in Arduino are known as sketches. A basic sketch consists of
3 parts
• 1. Declaration of Variables
• 2. Initialization: It is written in the setup () function.
• 3. Control code: It is written in the loop () function.
• The sketch is saved with .ino extension. Any operations like verifying, opening
a sketch, saving a sketch can be done using the buttons on the toolbar or using
the tool menu.
• The sketch should be stored in the sketchbook directory.
• Chose the proper board from the tools menu and the serial port numbers.
• Click on the upload button or chose upload from the tools menu. Thus the
code is uploaded by the bootloader onto the microcontroller.
 Arduino
• Basic Adruino functions are:
• digitalRead(pin): Reads the digital value at the given pin.
• digitalWrite(pin, value): Writes the digital value to the given pin.
