Ringing in 2017 with 90 hacker-friendly single board computers
Amazon made its first big Internet of Things play by launching an IoT managed cloud platform for aggregating and processing IoT endpoint data, built around its Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. Available now in beta form, AWS IoT, is being made available in the form of a series of AWS IoT Starter Kits, which bundle popular hacker boards with the AWS IoT Device SDK, and in some cases other hardware such as Grove sensors. Three of the 10 kits runs Linux, including kits for the DragonBoard 410c, BeagleBone Green, and Intel Edison (see farther below).
LTE IoT kits include Raspberry Pi and AWS friendly models
An AWS IoT Management Console offers a web-based interface for managing these processes, including tasks like creating a thing, associating certificates, publishing messages, and defining actions, says Amazon. The console interacts with both the AWS IoT Device SDK, and the cloud-oriented AWS SDK, which provides APIs for applicable AWS services.
In the case that devices lose access to power or the Internet, AWS IoT creates a virtual shadow profile of each connected device using REST APIs. The shadow includes all of the information about the devices state, so applications can continue to check device status or take actions. These are automatically sent to the device once it reconnects.
AWS IoT enables users to store, process, analyze, and act on the volumes of data generated by connected devices on a global scale, says Amazon. Devices connect to AWS IoT Device Gateway, using both HTTP and Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT), secured with mutual authentication and encryption. The gateway integrates with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to let customers set granular permissions for individual devices, or fleets of devices, and manage them throughout their lifecycles.
Available from Arrow and Qualcomm, the DragonBoard 410c kit sells for $80, only $5 more than the standard $75 price of the companies underlyingDragonBoard 410cSBC. No sensors are supplied with the kit, however.
This Grove-enhanced kit is based on the MediaTekLinkItboard, which runs MediaTeks new LinkIt RTOS in conjunction with an Aster (MT2502) SoC.

Amazon announced 10 AWS IoT Starter Kits, three of which run Linux and in the case of the DragonBoard 410c, Android. The rest run Arduino or other microcontroller-based hacker boards.
Built around a Broadcom BCM4343W WiFi/Bluetooth SoC with Broadcom WICED SDK, this kit includes Avnet sensors.
Amazon releases AWS Greengrass for local IoT
The maker-oriented DragonBoard 410c, which came in fifth place out of 53 in our 2015Linux hacker SBC survey, is one of the first 64-bit ARM SBCs, and one of the first to use Linaros specification. The 85 x 54mm SBC integrates Qualcomms quad-core, Cortex-A53 Snapdragon 410 SoC clocked at 1.2GHz, as well as an Adreno 306 GPU. Other features include 1GB LPDDR3, 8GB eMMC, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, HDMI, a 13-megapixel camera interface, and USB ports. It offers the 96Boards.org standard 40- and 60-pin expansion connectors.
The story notes that the platform will compete with other cloud-oriented IoT device gateway services such as MicrosoftsAzure IoT Suite. Other cloud-oriented gateway solutions includeIntel Gateway Solutions for IoT.

With the AWS IoT Device Gateway, manufacturers can set rules for how AWS IoT handles and responds to data triggers from their devices. For example, they can script actions such as sending an alert when a motion detector is triggered, or when a pressure sensor reports an unusually high reading, says the company. You can create rules that apply to data from a single device, a group of devices such as a sensor array, or a mix of devices and data sources, such as data stored in Amazon DynamoDB. In addition to DynamoDB, AWS IoT provides integration with Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon S3, and Amazon Machine Learning.

The $39 SBC subtracts the BeagleBone Blacks micro-HDMI port, but adds a micro-USB port and Grove sensor interfaces. Otherwise, its almost identical to the BB Black. The Starter Kit includes 10 Grove gizmos, including temperature and sound sensors, relays, buzzers, accelerometers, and I2C hubs.

BeagleBone Green and Grove AWS IoT Starter Kit
The LaunchPad builds on the Texas Instruments LaunchPad CC3200 board, which runs TI-RTOS.
The AWS configuration includes the Intel Edison for Arduino as well as a base shield and 11 Grove sensors. The board includes WiFi, Bluetooth LE, a microSD slot, and dual micro-USB ports. Other I/O includes a 70-pin connector and an Arduino breakout that supports Arduino shields.
The three Linux-ready AWS IoT Starter Kits include:
Arrow is excited to collaborate with Qualcomm Technologies and Amazon on this IoT Starter Kit, stated Jes Lefcourt, general manager of IoT adoption at Arrow, speaking of the DragonBoard 410c kit. We wanted to provide developers and makers with a low-cost, high-performance way to build IoT solutions I cant wait to see what kinds of innovations and venture-ready prototypes this kit will enable.

According to aTechCrunch storythat covered the announcement at Amazons re:Invent developer conference in Las Vegas, the technology is based on the companys acquisition of IoT development firm2lemetryearlier this year. AWS IoT will be sold as a pay-as-you-go service, with the first 250,000 512-byte message blocks per month free, and $5 per million message blocks after that, says the story.
