EdgeX Endorsement Program

What It Is

The Endorsement Program seeks to aid in the creation of device profiles and in the collaboration of their use while easing the EdgeX domain knowledge prerequisites.  To that end, the following areas of work have been identified:

  • Device profile specifications
  • How-to guides
  • Tools for providing assurance that a given device profile will work with the reference EdgeX implementation
  • A community site for sharing device profiles and their associated sample data that enables quick adoption by the end user
  • Templates for bring up an instance of the EdgeX reference implementation whether locally or in the cloud
    • A How-to guide with a focus on the device profile creation and data supply side of the collaboration
    • A How-to guide with a focus on the data consumption and usage of given device profile
  • EdgeX Foundry based badging that device profile authors can use in their marketing and promotional efforts that reflects the foundry's endorsement of these device profiles

How It Works

  • Submit a device profile for verification.

  • We will tell you whether or not it is a valid device profile.

    • If it fails, we will tell what is wrong with or what is missing from your device profile.

  • Upon passing, we ask if you would like to submit this device profile to the EdgeX Endorsement Program.  You fill out a form.  The form, the device profile, and related sample data and associated schema are submitted to the EdgeX Foundry for processing.

  • Sample data - with profile run this through EdgeX instance (using the cloud templates and cloud provider to test or it could be local)
    • This is about integration with EdgeX - profile is part, sample data, sample Event/readings values (JSON)

  • The form and the device profile are reviewed by a team within EdgeX Foundry.

    • profile with sample data and schema definition
    • Team does quick look and adds it to the Endorsement page (cursory look to just make sure everything is there and looks legitimate)

  • A sticker/badge is sent to you that you may use for marketing and promotional purposes of that device profile.

Program Components

  • How-to guides
    • How-to guides on working with the cloud templates

  • Site hosting the Device Profile Validation Tool  PR-3

  • Specifications on the form of the sample data to be provided by device profile authors including details about the data's schema
  • Two ways of accessing the data within EdgeX
    • Export it out via app services configurable
      • Thought here is that the data-consumer's app is external to EdgeX
    • Custom app service to consume the data from Core Data and make decisions on that data (analytics, consolidation, edge processing)
      • Thought here is that the data-consumer is 
        • Integrating their app into EdgeX
        • Taking advantage on on-premise resources for data processing prior to sending it to their external app
      • RTFS is an example to possibly follow
    • Address it via a How-to guide.  No need to provide more than that to enable
