Abstract

In IoT software development, a method to implement software by focusing on data flow has been proposed, which is called dataflow programming. On the other hand, sensor devices are generally implemented in microcontrollers with limited resources for compactness, power savings and costs, so sensor devices are not suitable for executing data flow programs.

In this paper, an environment running the scripting language mruby is described to execute a dataflow program on a small microcontroller. The execution of the data flow program is performed asynchronously by multiple nodes, which handle the sensor data. The execution environment of a dataflow program must support this style of execution. Since mruby can execute multiple programs concurrently, it is well suited to implement dataflow programs. By generating mruby code from a program developed in Node-RED, one of the popular dataflow programming environments, the mruby program is executed on a single-chip microcontroller, which includes mruby virtual machine.
