Add new board

The IoT-LAB Gateway board runs a Python module providing Open Node management. Its implementation is based on a system of plugin. Thus, if you want to add support for a new board, you just have to write a specific file to interface with the application.

1. Develop

The source code is Open Source and hosted on GitHub.

Instructions on how to develop your plugin are documented in the DEVELOPER.md file.

You can also install a Gateway-like environment on your computer by following the INSTALL.md instructions. Thus, you will be able to test and validate your plugin.

2. Plug

Once the previous step has been made, we just have to deploy your development and plug the new hardware.

Contact the admin team to discuss this point.

3. Run

Just proceed has usual. You just need to select these specific nodes while submitting your experiment.
