Why Oracle engineers love Raspberry Pi projects paid Oracle
“One of our goals for the cluster was to have off-the-shelf hardware that anyone could buy,” Bensen says. “With Oracle Linux for ARM, your average hobbyist is able to run a lot of our software locally for their own personal IoT projects like robots or prosthetic arms.
” Oracle’s Java engineers have been intrigued by the Raspberry Pi since its inception, and Potts was there to see firsthand its impact on the Java team. “It allowed us to open the embedded Java world that we were so passionate about to a much wider audience,” he says. “We worked hard with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to deliver Java for free on every Pi, so the whole Java ecosystem would be available to people learning and building things.” Jasper Potts, left, a “resident inventor” and IoT engineer at Oracle, and Chris Bensen, an Oracle Experience Engineer and Java developer, stand proudly in front of their creation.One underrated thing Raspberry Pi did for embedded computing, Potts says, was “provide an operating system that is stable and maintained over a long period of time.” Prior to the Pi, embedded boards were designed for one-off prototyping and had a months-long life span before they became obsolete. “That meant an ecosystem could never be built for them, and no one could write books about them or create a teaching curriculum about them,” he says. “If you wanted to use one at home to automate your lights or sprinklers you would have to accept that you might have to replace it after a few years and start again.”Looking for inspiration? You could attend Oracle OpenWorld Europe to connect with like-minded business developers and engineers, or read on for other ways people have combined Oracle technology with a Raspberry Pi computer to, as Potts puts it, connect the computer and the physical world.You think you want a place in the country? Well, animal care ain’t that easy, as Todd Sharp, a full stack developer and an Oracle Developer Advocate, discovered. He lives with his family on a Georgia farm, and once he realized how early chickens wake up every single morning, he started automating his barn using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and Oracle Cloud. Connecting the technology to various pumps and sensors meant he could “automate tasks like filling a water bowl, opening and closing doors, and monitoring the environment,” Sharp says. It all interfaces with cloud resources for storage and messaging.Since October 2018, UK-based specialists from Oracle’s cloud innovation team have helped World Bee Project founder Sabiha Malik develop a model for a network of
