An overview on the ease of development of a very complex system Have you ever stood infront of a Vending machine and wished it could be smarter, remember that you like one sugar with your coffee, that is easier to interact with, easier to pay? In this talk SECO lays the out our Oniro Blueprint, to build a vending machine for the truly digital age, one that knows and remembers your preferences, one that is easy to interact with even if you have no wallet or coins and one that is truly easy for businesses to manage and maintain while boosting the machine use and revenue. Finally will be announced the future roadmap for the new and existing services and reference boards from SECO, including the data orchestration platform Astarte.

Decomposition
• UI Application
• Control Application
Development Tasks:
• Implement and validate a simple LVGL application.
• Define the communication interface between the UI and the Control app.
• Implement and integrate in build system for RPi4:
●
UI application (Linux).
●
Control application (Linux)
• Validate the UI application on the SECO SBC-B68 board.
• Port the Control app on the SECO SBC-B68 target.
