M2M in Open Source

Question

Is there any open source(it may be c,c++ and java) for machine to machine communication ?

I would like to make communication between my hospital ECG device and my pc.

Serial port with Linux platform

Thanks -Anlon

Answer 1

M2M is a generic term. there is no standard protocol or medium to implement a machine-to-machine communication. thus ou have to search for yourself which communication mean would best fit your need, depending on your device.

basically any communication channel can be considered a m2m channel: serial port, usb port, ethernet, also gsm/sms for gsm enabled devices. as for the protocol, it depends on the protocol used by your device (you won't be able to modify your ecg device to fit a specific protocol of your choice, you will have to stick to what format the data comes out of your device).

Answer 2

Eclipse Foundation当前有一个启动计划，开始围绕开源M2M开展工作，该计划中的2个项目正在启动：1个关于工具（ Koneki ）和1个关于M2M协议（ Paho ）。

Answer 3

You might be interested in trying out Mihini , a project recently added to the Eclipse M2M initiative that provides an open-source embedded framework for M2M. It allows to really easily do serial communication with Linux.

I don't know what protocol your ECG is talking, but there's eg built-in support for the Modbus protocol in Mihini.
