What is an IoT-LAB node ?
The IoT-LAB hardware infrastructure consists of a set of IoT-LAB nodes. A global networking backbone provides power and connectivity to all IoT-LAB nodes and guarantees the out of band signalling network needed for command purposes and monitoring feedback.
An IoT-LAB node consists of three main components
It is made available to the user during his experimentation. This node is totally open and the user is granted a full access to the memory. This implies that he can load and run any operating system. This feature is handled using a remote access to reboot and (re)load any firmware on any node.
It offers a connection to the global infrastructure to control and monitor the open node. The gateway also handles the open node serial link if the node is set to be a sink node.
It is used to interact, passively or actively, with the Open Node. It monitors consumption and sensors values during experiments, selects power supply (battery or PoE).
