Memfault Adds Embedded Linux to IoT Device Reliability Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Memfault, the provider of the first IoT reliability platform, announced today its platform includes full support for embedded Linux. The expansion offers cross-platform support for RTOS, bare metal, Android, or Linux developers building on any hardware for any number of devices running any use case, anywhere.

With Memfault’s IoT reliability platform, developers can solve operational challenges via fleet observability, remote debugging, and smart firmware over-the-air (OTA) management. Embedded Linux developers will now have easy access to Memfault’s device reliability engineering tools that offer product, engineering, and support teams deep insights into embedded device performance, irrespective of the hardware. Memfault’s device reliability engineering capabilities will be available across all product lines enabling teams to make product changes irrespective of device hardware and operating system with the confidence that it won’t impact their device fleets.

“Memfault has helped us understand the health of our microcontrollers in the field, and now that they are offering the same capabilities for full Linux devices, we're excited to unify our entire monitoring stack in one place,” said Joey Degges, Senior Manager of Device Software, Span. “Not only will this accelerate our development and improve our products and user experience, but Memfault’s expansion will also position Span for rapid growth and innovation. With tools this great for field monitoring and debugging, it's hard to imagine life before them. With the addition of Linux, Memfault is really in a realm of its own."

The Memfault platform is available for Linux, Android, RTOS, and bare metal device developers. Memfault works across both high- and low-throughput transports, giving maximum flexibility through compatibility with virtually any connectivity protocol, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, LoRa, Thread, or Zigbee. Today’s product announcement comes on the heels of a number of strategic partnerships for Memfault, including Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Silicon Labs, and Laird Connectivity.

“As engineers, we’ve remained committed to giving device developers the ultimate freedom when building, monitoring, and continuously improving IoT devices at scale,” said Heiko Behrens, Head of Product, Memfault. “Adding Linux support means that regardless of which chipset or operating system is in place, developers will have essential tools for building the best product possible, de-risking product launches, and giving end users the premium experience they’ve come to expect.”

Embedded Linux developers now have full access to Memfault’s IoT reliability platform with these capabilities:
