Contiki 3.x Support
11 Apr 2017
We have updated our Contiki repository with the official one, providing support for Contiki 3.x.
From now, you will be able to test your Contiki solutions on the IoT-LAB testbed, using the last features provided by the Contiki OS, like, for example, the last er-coap implementation or the RPL/TSCH network.
This release comes with dedicated IoT-LAB examples, available in the examples/iotlab directory, including new examples on er-coap and RPL/TSCH. We have updated our Contiki tutorials.
Our master branch will now regularly be updated with the official repository master branch. Just run a git pull if you want to synchronize your local repository with the IoT-LAB one. Afterward, you will be able to easily retrieve the last Contiki updates with this set of commands:
git remote add contiki https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki git fetch contiki git merge contiki/master
For those who prefer to continue working with Contiki 2.7, we created an iotlab-2-7 branch containing the previous master branch. Note that the support brought in this branch for the WSN430 node has not been tested in the current master branch. But we are open to feedback and contributions to bring support for this in Contiki 3.x as well. Don’t hesitate to open a pull request on GitHub
IEEE 802.15.4-2015 TSCH and IETF 6TiSCH

We are pleased to announce that the public IPv6 service on the FIT IoT-LAB testbed as been extended with the Lille site.
As a reminder, four sites implement now this service:
You can find more details about M3/A8 nodes global IPv6 subnetting by following this documentation.
Moreover, on the Learn page, you will find some tutorials to learn how to use public IPv6 addresses with M3/A8 nodes with Contiki or RIOT.
New tutorials for RIOT on A8-M3 nodes
23 Jun 2016
IoT-LAB supports various embedded operating systems that are well suited for the Internet Of Things, such as RIOT.
RIOT is an open source operating system for the Internet of Things (IoT) targetting embedded devices with minimal resources.
The IoT-LAB team has prepared two new tutorials that show the networking capabilities of RIOT on A8-M3 nodes:
