MRAA is and it's companion library UPM is already enabling thousands of developers to control sensors and control devices in a platform independant way. Even Arduino is now using it on Linux based boards. With over 300 sensors supported by the libraries - it has become an easy way to add sensor support to large frameworks and OSs. When stringent security requirements mandate the use of arbitrers between any operation with the real world mraa has been succesfully adapted to suit those needs. I will then describe how the model has evolved to support remote sensor running on Arduino & FTDI hardware, then on Android of Things and more recently on AGL. A more detailed look at the last evolution will explain how the power of MRAA associated with AGL development tools offer a novel approach to sensor and control programming in a secured enviroment.
