The release this week of Ittia DB IoT v8.8 brings database and stream processing capabilities to microcontroller (MCU) devices.

Ittia is a Bellevue, Washington, based provider of real-time secure embedded data management software for microcontrollers, microprocessors and electronic control units.

With this release, MCU applications embedded with Ittia DB are capable of ingesting and aggregating data, detecting anomalies, storing information and making choices in milliseconds. OEMs building gateway devices, industrial systems, software-defined vehicle applications, medical devices, wearables, and other embedded products can seamlessly embed Ittia DB to monitor, store and manage data locally in real time.

Ittia DB IoT’s architecture offers flexible mix-and-match customisation so embedded developers can select to stream real-time data, manage time series and/or store table data.

Real-time data capture and edge analytics are becoming common requirements for edge devices. As microcontroller technology advances, some OEMs seek first to process real-time data, interpret them and then store them. There are others that prefer to store the entire data while footprint and performance play an important role in their design.

Version 8.8 offers the best for both worlds. By incorporating Ittia DB, an MCU can transform into a real-time data processing platform that responds to event-driven data, as well as support applications that prefer to store the entire data into tables.

Embedded, edge IoT and AI systems demand devices to process data at a massive scale to achieve measurable metrics. Version 8.8 streaming and time series functionalities are built to address this kind of demand. OEMs can build applications that respond immediately to events, craft materialised views over streams, and receive real-time data from the current state on demand. In addition, high-performance time series data ingestion, transformation, analytics and distribution make MCUs compatible with today’s computing world.

Ittia DB IoT can be embedded into Arm Cortex-A, Cortex-M and Cortex-R architecture devices and different RTOS platform variants, and be easily ported to support custom environments.

The Ittia software development lifecycle is conformant to the principles of IEC/ISO 62443.
