Marvell's Kinoma Create Keeps On Creating (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the working-to-make-the-internet-of-things-as-open-source-as-possible dept.

Marvell is the parent company. Kinoma is the company Marvell bought in 2011 that "provides an open-source, cross-platform ECMAScript stack aimed at developing software for Internet of Things products and other embedded devices." They'll sell you a little hardware, too, which makes sense when you realize that parent company Marvell is big-time in the hardware business and will happily help you produce your IoT product -- for a fee, of course. Slashdot interviewed Peter Hoddie at last year's OSCON, so please consider this video an update. And before you ask: Peter says Kinoma is open source, from the bottom to the top -- to which we reply, "we like it like that."

    Because if it's one thing IoT needs, it's javascript.

    Well, let's think about IoT RealMedia or IoT ActiveX as alternatives. Then again, let's not.

    At first, I thought that Marvel had created a piece of software the created formulaic superhero scripts for their franchise. My bad
