Pantacor

Pantacor is a platform for internet of things (IoT) innovation that enables users to deploy apps, manage firmware, and collect real-time data from edge devices and IoT. With Pantacor, users can perform the following:

• Build and power containerized systems and apps on any Linux embedded device
• Manage the full lifecycle of device firmware and applications with standard open-source technology from a unified dashboard
• Extend the set of features on any embedded Linux device, including those that are resource-constrained

• Monitor real-time telemetry and device data by integrating systems with cloud-native, open-source applications

Pantavisor Linux is a framework for building containerized embedded systems. It implements a version of Linux Containers (LXC) and is designed to make the building of software-defined Linux embedded products easier. With a Linux distribution or custom-made firmware in containers, systems can take advantage of portable container lifecycle management without having to replace the distribution or development boards.

Pantavisor Linux creates the building blocks for a universal Linux non-operating system that automatizes tasks. It aims to simplify the deployment and management of containerized embedded operating system (OS) components across millions of devices in a portable and reproducible fashion.

Pantavisor Linux can also convert Docker containers into LXC format and thus enable it to run on all types of devices and development boards, including those with the least resource consumption. Additionally, it has the ability to transform firmware, the operating system, and even the board support package (BSP) into portable, cloud-native, containerized building blocks that can be shared and deployed remotely and transactionally.

Pantacor Hub is an open-source device state management system. Pantacor described it as a cross between an image sharing repository for apps and devices and a device system revision repository for version control. The hub enables users to share images and device data among themselves and automatically manages the atomic revisions of the device state for remote updates across device fleets. It also allows users to configure the metadata of applications and devices.
