<p>One of the reasons why IoT/M2M development can prove to be difficult is the large number of communication protocols used in today's industries. From the industrial protocol used to collect temperature data on a sensor, to the communication protocol used to send this data to a server in the Cloud, to the device management protocol that allows remote firmware upgrade of a system, there are just too many protocols to master for building an end-to-end IoT/M2M solution.

We propose Open Source implementations for protocols already well-adopted in M2M fields (such as MQTT, CoAP and OMA-DM).

We use the <ahref="http://eclipse.org/eclipse/"target="_blank">Eclipse
platform</a> as a base for the creation of an interoperable and extensible set of tools to simplify the development of IoT/M2M solutions.
<br/>There are different sets of tools that we think are important to support IoT/M2M Developers:
</p>
<ulclass="unstyled">
<li><iclass="icon-ok"></i><strong>Embedded Development</strong>— we aim at providing first-class user assistance for embedded development, especially for the Lua language.
</li>
<li><iclass="icon-ok"></i><strong>Simulation</strong>— because M2M infrastructures can be complex to setup, we want our tools to allow the simulation of M2M devices and communication scenarios between these devices and M2M servers.</li>
<li><iclass="icon-ok"></i><strong>Server Development</strong>— we plan on providing tools helping to discover the capabilities of an M2M server, as well as to configure it.</li>
