Despite their quick success and adoption, containers are already a well established technology and their use is steadily rising also in the embedded community. However the specific requirements of an embedded system set new challenges like running demanding graphical applications.While containers’ most common use case is to easily deploy headless server applications, graphical subsystem containerization is heavily dependent on the SOC GPU architecture.This session will provide an overview of the challenges encountered running X11 and Wayland applications inside docker containers on ARM SOCs. In particular we will focus on new advantages with respect to a traditional monolithic embedded OS but considering also container drawbacks and limitations.In our journey we’ll share our considerations and results with respect to different software setups, security & isolation, support for accelerated graphics and video decoding which are not an option on systems featuring a GUI.

Deploying machine learning models on the edge

February 20, 2020

When IoT meets AI, a new round of innovations begins. Yan Zhang and Mathew Salvaris examine the methodology, practice, and tools around deploying machine learning models on the edge. They offer a step-by-step guide to creating an ML model using Python, packaging it in a Docker container, and deploying it as a local service on an edge device as well as deployment on GPU-enabled edge devices.
