EBV-IoT - Infineon & Avnet IoTConnect Secure Cloud connected solution -
Training manual

Introduction

EBV Elektronik has designed a complete onboarding flow on top of Avnet IoTConnect cloud to simplify device onboarding and cloud platform evaluation. From building a complete cloud environment in an instant, leveraging the challenge of building state of the art secured IoT device (using EBV Elektronik hardware and software), to bringing data to end user via the EBV Mobile App. This cloud ecosystem aims at offering a fast, innovative, and scalable platform which provides real product differentiation to customers at minimal cost.

The goal of this training is to connect the demo setup to the Avnet IoTConnect cloud using one of the best-in-class hardware security thanks to Infineon OPTIGATM Trust M secure element. As main platform we will be using Infineon PSoC 62 MCU and CYW43012 based Wi-Fi/BT combo connectivity module. A set of Infineon XensivTM sensors will complete the device hardware setup to provide a more advanced product.

This training manual will guide you through a hands-on session following every step on the device secure cloud connection path. The training demonstrates how to build, develop and deploy an affordable, state of the art, end-to-end secured solution.

The following topics will be covered:
