Revolutionizing Edge Development
Starting a modern robotics, edge AI, IoT, self-driving, or edge computing project is fraught with complexity. Developers face a maze of decisions and challenges before they can even begin solving their core problems.
Common Development Challenges
Choosing Hardware
Should you start with a Raspberry Pi, Nvidia Jetson, or another device?
Picking a Stack
What programming language, operating system, frameworks, and software stack should you use?
Connectivity Hurdles
Ensuring devices are on the same Wi-Fi, obtaining IP addresses, and setting up SSH.
Deployment Headaches
Writing deployment scripts and managing remote debugging over SSH are painful and error-prone.
The Mobile Development Contrast
Mobile development offers a streamlined experience. When building an iOS app, there's a clear, unified stack:
- A single programming language, Swift (with optional C/C++ for edge cases)
- No need to configure SSH or Wi-Fi connections
- Deployment is as simple as plugging your device in over USB and pressing a button
- Tools like Xcode and Android Studio provide integrated debugging, breakpoint support, and seamless deployment
The core stack for edge applications isn't fundamentally different from mobile apps. Why, then, should edge development remain so painful?
The Solution:
Swift-first Design
Written entirely in Swift, with seamless interoperability with C and C++ when needed.
Integrated Tooling
Full VSCode support with simple Cmd+R deployment.
Seamless Debugging
Set breakpoints and step through your code as easily as a mobile app.
Remote Package Management
Execute package management commands without SSH or custom scripts.
The Future of Edge Development
With EDGE, your team gains a unified, developer-friendly platform to deploy and manage edge applications. It's a smooth, powerful experience that transforms edge development into a seamless process—freeing you to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.
EDGE is not just a tool; it's a movement to bring the elegance and simplicity of mobile development to the edge. Say goodbye to the headaches of edge development and hello to a new era of productivity.
