Samsung Commercially Launches ARTIK Development Platform

Samsung has made its Internet of Things (IoT) platform, SAMSUNG ARTIK commercially available. Starting Feb. 22, engineers can order the development kit from Digi-Key. The company has also launched the Certified ARTIK Partner Program (CAPP) to expand services and available platform.

ARTIK’s support for operating systems include Tizen, Nucleus Real Time OS and the open source Fedora Linux stack, enabling developers to select the platform they are most familiar with. The newest member to join the ecosystem is Canonical’s Operating System for the Internet of Things: Snappy Ubuntu Core, providing an ideal OS for secure, resource-constrained smart devices

The platform is also compatible with Azure IoT Suite and IoT Hub.

“I’m very proud of the SAMSUNG ARTIK team and the strong momentum they have achieved. In less than eight months, we’ve gone from product launch to commercial availability, while building multiple modules, operating systems, embedded security, and a growing ecosystem of actively engaged partners,” said Dr. Byungse So, executive vice president and CTO, Samsung Strategy and Innovation Center. “We believe in the power of open platforms and partner ecosystems, leveraging the wealth of expertise and experience available in the market to bring delightful experiences to our customers. We’re excited to see all the innovative projects that developers will come up with in the future.”
