 Low Power Design

Sustainable IoT

Well-being

Still do, to a degree.But lately, we’ve been sitting with it. Looking at what we’ve built. Talking to people. Watching how our story has landed out in the wild. And it’s become clear:We need to tell the whole truth now.<h2>Why we told the batteryless story to begin with</h2>Let’s rewind.When we started ONiO, we weren’t trying to be yet another MCU vendor with a clever logo and a new benchmark.Honestly, we were terrified of becoming invisible — just another piece of silicon with slightly better power figures and a PDF nobody reads.So we did what we had to do:We found a story.And it was a good one.Batteryless wasn’t just a gimmick. It was our origin — a design constraint that forced us to think differently. How do you build something that can cold-start from ambient energy alone?That question led us to ONiO.zero.It also gave us something way more rare: an actual identity.In a sea of suit-and-slide-deck semiconductor companies, we stood out. We felt like… people. With a point of view.<h2>We also knew we didn’t want to look like the rest of the industry.</h2>No face, no voice — just PDFs and jargon, occasionally interrupted by a press release or a talking head wandering the exhibition floor, badge swinging, rehearsing the same three phrases to a gimbal.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/onio/image/upload/v1744202551/onio_off_to_ces_39c8b6901f.jpg" alt="onio_off_to_ces.jpg"></figure>You know the type: coffee in hand, LinkedIn post ready - “Off to CES - let’s gooo 🚀”We weren’t interested in that.We wanted a brand that felt like us: curious, sharp, design-forward. A little weird. Human.So we built something people could connect with. A chip, yes — but also a story, a tone, an unique visual language. Something that didn’t just talk at people, but invited them in.A chip can be beautiful. So can the story that carries it.And batteryless gave us a way to say all of that in one word.<h2>The problem with one story</h2>But here’s the flip side of telling a strong story:Sometimes people only hear that story. And nothing else.We got pegged.As the batteryless guys. The purists.The ones who build fruit-powered demos and do firefly math.And to be honest — we love that part.We still do it.It’s fun. It makes people think. And it’s real.But somewhere along the way, people started assuming that was all we were.And in letting that story lead, we may have oversimplified our own reality.Because the truth is, most real-world applications aren’t black or white.Some are perfect for batteryless. Some need a supercap. Some are better off with a rechargeable cell. Others just want 10x battery life and no drama.We’ve always known that.We just didn’t talk about it enough.<h2>So what’s actually true?</h2>What’s true is this: ONiO.zero is an absurdly low-power, wireless RISC-V microcontroller that can run on harvested energy — from light, RF, whatever.In the right conditions, you really can skip the battery entirely.But that’s not the only way to win.Maybe you want a BLE-connected sensor that lasts five years on a tiny coin cell.Or a smart label that never needs charging.Or a soil monitor with a solar panel and a little backup.Or a keyboard that powers up as you type.That’s the world we’re building for.We didn’t set out to kill the battery.We set out to design like batteries weren’t guaranteed.<h2>What we actually believe</h2>We believe in designing for power independence.Not as a feature. As a mindset.We believe maintenance is the real enemy.That good design feels invisible.That “energy harvesting” shouldn’t sound like science fiction.And that in a few years, asking “how long does it last?” will feel weird — because the answer will just be: as long as you want.<h2>We’re still ONiO</h2>We still love weird builds and scavenged power and the elegance of restraint.We still care about making semiconductors that don’t feel like they came out of a corporate birth canal.But more than anything, we care about telling the truth — and telling it well.So yeah, we’ll still write about the joy of batteryless design.But we’re also going to show what it looks like to build real systems, with real constraints, in the real world.Some of those will have no battery.Some will have a battery that barely gets used.And some will plug in. That’s okay too.The point isn’t purity.The point is possibility.<h2>In the end</h2>We’re not trying to win a sustainability badge.We’re trying to help engineers design smarter systems - ones that last longer, waste less, and just work.If that means no battery, great.If that means fewer batteries in better places, even better.We’re still ONiO.We still build chips that run off the air.We’re just not limiting ourselves to one storyline anymore.Because the story we’re writing now?It’s bigger. And more fun. And way more real.

Batteryless was never the point

<h1>Sustainable electronics disentangled</h1>Sustainability is taking centre stage in many business sectors and the electronics industry is no exception. Yet, when we look deep into the newest electronic devices around us, are these really fundamentally more sustainable than the ones we were used to 10 or 20 years ago? In this article, we will look into how to make IoT and small electronic devices more sustainable, namely through energy harvesting. In doing that, we will introduce the SELECT project, where ONiO and a group of strategic partners are bringing together unique building blocks to enable a more sustainable future for electronics.IoT nodes and small, portable electronic devices are an integral part of today’s increasingly digitally connected society. The <a href="https://iot-analytics.com/number-connected-iot-devices/">number of connected IoT devices</a> was estimated at 19 billion in 2024, projected to grow to more than 40 billion by 2030. Yet, the growth of IoT seems to be lagging behind compared to some of the earlier prognostics, which have, for instance, pointed to <a href="https://community.arm.com/cfs-file/__key/telligent-evolution-components-attachments/01-1996-00-00-00-01-30-09/Arm-_2D00_-The-route-to-a-trillion-devices-_2D00_-June-2017.pdf">one trillion IoT devices produced until 2035</a>. One of the major bottlenecks limiting further scalability of present and future IoT is power and, in particular, the reliance on pervasively spread battery-powered devices. At the same time, the scale of deployments raises deep concerns with sustainability, concerns which spread across IoT, small electronic devices, and the electronics industry at large.<h2>Sustainability: beyond the buzz&nbsp;</h2>Despite all the buzz around sustainability over the past decades, truth be told, the core materials and the pillar principles of electronics design for mass production remain pretty much unchanged. Yet, the industry has a growing pool of more sustainable options on the table nowadays, and it’s time to turn the talk about sustainability into real, impactful actions.It is not difficult to find grand vision statements about sustainability from large electronics corporations in the past few years. For instance, back in 2021, <a href="https://www.itweb.co.za/article/samsung-in-green-push-for-tv-line-up/xnklOqzLgx974Ymz">Samsung announced</a> that its TV business was on a journey of “going green”. Among the action points was the introduction of solar-powered remote controls that, according to the company, could help prevent waste from 99 million AAA batteries over seven years. Another example is <a href="https://www.theverge.com/24206847/logitech-ceo-hanneke-faber-mouse-keyboard-gaming-decoder-podcast-interview">Logitech’s plan</a> to reduce its carbon footprint by half, including the introduction of long-lasting hardware like the “forever mouse” concept.Despite all the nice talk and good intentions, the electronics industry in general, and the IoT and small electronics segment in particular, is facing strong challenges with sustainability. The industry still relies on raw materials that are highly polluting (e.g. heavy metals in batteries) and greenhouse gas-intensive (e.g. conventional printed circuit board laminates), and their replacement is quite challenging from technical and cost perspectives. A resolute stab at sustainability requires looking into every single component of an electronic system and the whole system’s life cycle. The market actors that do not take this seriously risk being severely penalised by customers and consumers, who are increasingly awake to signs of frail ESG policies and greenwashing.<h2>Energy harvesting gaining momentum</h2>A growing number of IoT-connected devices, including the ones with low-power consumption (1 micro Watt to 1 milli Watt range), continue to rely on disposable or rechargeable batteries. Yet, batteries are far from being a good solution for powering small electronics, especially single-use coin cells or alkaline power cells typically used in such devices. Small devices reliant on batteries are a problem for several reasons. On the one hand, the limited lifespan of batteries and the high costs and burden associated with battery replacement and device maintenance can become a logistical nightmare in very large distributed node systems. On the other hand, the social and environmental problems associated with the lifecycle of batteries and respective raw materials such as <a href="https://www.onio.com/article/environmental-cost-of-batteries.html">lithium and cobalt</a>. In a nutshell, batteries are bound to represent an apparent bottleneck in the massive deployment of IoT devices and a huge environmental problem. Therefore, it becomes clear that players serious about sustainability must look into batteries and consider better alternatives whenever possible.&nbsp;That’s where <a href="https://www.onio.com/article/ambient-energy-world-of-iot.html">energy harvesting</a> comes into play. The market arena for energy harvesting, aka <a href="https://www.bluetooth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/MRN_Ambient-IOT.pdf">Ambient IoT</a>, is growing in importance. The use of energy harvesting for small electronics is not entirely new. For instance, portable electronic devices such as calculators and watches powered by small photovoltaic panels were popular during the 1980s and 1990s. Yet, that trend did not pick up, and batteries have taken over the business of powering small portable electronics almost entirely. Now, the growth of the IoT together with technical progress in ultra low power electronics and ambient energy harvesting are providing a new opportunity for energy harvesting.&nbsp;The emergence of new ultra low power microchips, such as <a href="https://www.onio.com/products/onio-zero.html">ONiO.zero</a>, and new harvesting technologies, such as <a href="https://www.epishine.com/">Epishine</a>’s very efficient photovoltaic cells, are revamping the interest in energy harvesting. Early examples of use cases include asset tracking, condition-based monitoring, cold-chain monitoring, building automation and home control. The total market opportunity is <a href="https://www.bluetooth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/MRN_Ambient-IOT.pdf">sized at trillions of units</a>.<h2>A change in mindset: electronics design for energy harvesting</h2>The design and development of electronic devices for energy harvesting requires a fundamentally different approach than the usual development for battery power. Energy harvesting typically generates only minimal amounts of power, meaning that the electronic circuits and systems must be tuned for extreme power performance and flexibility. Besides, ambient energy is often available in variable levels and intermittent modes. For instance, light levels are variable in most environments, and the same goes for radio frequency sources, depending on proximity to antennas, routers, mobile phones, etc. Hence, power management strategies must be designed for intermittent energy availability. Summing up, the electronic systems must be capable of harvesting under the most demanding conditions (e.g. very low light or weak radio frequency sources), run from ultra low power levels, store and manage any excess energy in the best way possible. By the same token, energy budgeting and duty cycle planning are keystones for seamless batteryless operation from ambient energy - emphasizing the importance of a crystal clear understanding of the requirements for each application and use-case.As a minimum, a functional energy harvesting device/system needs the following building-blocks: (1) one or more energy harvesters, harnessing ambient energy from light, radio frequency, motion or thermal gradients; (2) integrated circuits for control, processing and communication; (3) an energy storage/buffer element; (4) the load(s), i.e. the element(s) being powered, which may include sensors, transmitters, controllers, etc. These and a few additional auxiliary components must be mounted on an electronic printed circuit board (PCB). The SELECT project focuses on each of these elements and their seamless integration for deploying sustainable electronics with energy harvesting.<h2>The SELECT project</h2>The SELECT project brings together six partners on the quest for sustainable electronics. The project is co-financed by the <a href="https://eurekanetwork.org/programmes/eurostars/">Eurostars program</a>.ONiO leads the way with its ultra low power microcontroller tailored for energy harvesting, <a href="https://www.onio.com/products/onio-zero.html">ONiO.zero</a>, at the core of the project. <a href="https://www.onio.com/products/onio-zero.html">ONiO.zero</a> combines an <a href="https://www.onio.com/article/onio-riscv-coremark-results.html">ultra power-efficient RISC-V CPU</a> with an advanced power management integrated circuit (PMIC) and wireless radio communication on a single microchip. Epishine provides highly efficient and versatile printed organic photovoltaic cells optimized for indoor conditions, which are <a href="https://www.epishine.com/technology/lca">best-in-class with respect to sustainability</a>. <a href="https://www.lignaenergy.com/">Ligna Energy</a> owns unique supercapacitor technology that leverages bio-based sustainable materials and roll-to-roll manufacturing methods for green, safe and ultra-thin energy storage. <a href="https://www.jivamaterials.com/">Jiva Materials</a> offers Soluboard®, a fully recyclable and biodegradable rigid PCB laminate with a 67% lower carbon footprint than glass-fibre and epoxy technologies used in conventional FR-4 PCBs. These four partners put in the key ingredients for the SELECT recipe. The consortium is complemented by two end-user partners: <a href="https://www.pricer.com/">Pricer</a>, a partner for in-store communication and digitalization and a leading supplier of Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) solutions, and <a href="https://www.4modtechnology.com/">4MOD Technology</a>, a versatile company specialising in the design and engineering of remote controls and IoT solutions.The team will tune each of the key ingredients (microcontroller, photovoltaic harvester, supercapacitor, Soluboard® PCB), focusing on solving the challenges involved in their orchestration to work optimally together. These components are already available now, but their combination brings benefits to the next level. The project will generate reference boards and development kits combining these key elements - i.e. forming a SELECT platform ready to use in the development of a new order of sustainable IoT and small electronic products.The new SELECT platform will be able to serve a wide range of applications across the IoT and small electronics market verticals. During the project, the partners will focus on two lead applications: ESLs, under Pricer’s leadership, and remote control units, headed by 4MOD Technology. The key outputs of the project will include reference designs and prototypes customised for these two demo cases. But the SELECT platform will be ready to target an array of additional product categories, with a view to fast-tracking energy harvesting-based solutions to real market products that can effectively compete with the current battery-based standards.SELECT is using some of the most sustainable components available, with benefits in toxicity and contamination of the environment and particularly in carbon emissions. A back-of-the-envelope calculation shows a potential for saving at least 150.000 tonnes of CO2 equivalents per year if the SELECT solutions were rolled out across the ESL and remote control markets (estimated at 300 and 400 million units per year, respectively). This is the equivalent of taking over 100.000 combustion engine cars off the streets. These savings were estimated from removing single-use batteries and using photovoltaic harvesters instead, plus replacing FR-4 PCB with Soluboard®. The SELECT project includes systematic Life Cycle Analyses where the environmental benefits will be studied in detail and computed in a proper manner. In any case, looking at these ballpark calculations for the two test cases only, and considering the total space of applications that can be targeted by SELECT - extending from industrial IoT sensors to building automation, electronic tags and trackers, wearables, etc. - the extent of the project's impacts can be massive.<h2>Conclusion</h2>The tools to make IoT and small electronic devices way more sustainable are already on the table today. But we need to move from individual eco-friendly components to systems fully orchestrated to work optimally with more sustainable options such as energy harvesting. The added value of the SELECT solutions lies in the seamless integration of sustainable building blocks to craft an electronics development platform built with a 360º view on sustainability, from individual components to system level.&nbsp;Besides focusing on performance and sustainability, the SELECT platform will enable the deployment of very cost effective products and systems, especially when considering system bill-of-materials and lifetime costs. By removing batteries and simplifying electronic systems, SELECT will reduce the component count and footprint of electronics, with a positive impact on costs. Hence, SELECT will bring unprecedented possibilities in terms of thinness, material minimization and low cost of end devices. Moreover, with no battery changes, maintenance and lifetime costs will be much reduced, bringing logistics and cost benefits for the end users. Finally, for many product categories, the device’s lifetime will be extended and costs with end-of-life, namely recycling, will also be reduced.The SELECT partners' ambition is bold: mastering energy harvesting while redefining electronics with sustainability at the core. Power is on!

Sustainable electronics disentangled

As Faber later had to clarify, the concept of a “forever mouse” wasn’t an actual product but merely an idea. Her comment garnered so much attention that she had to confirm it wasn’t about any specific device.&nbsp;But, when seen in the right context, Faber’s words weren’t really about a mouse at all—they were about something much bigger. The widespread reaction missed the larger point she was making.Faber wasn’t simply hyping up her company with a hypothetical product. She was highlighting a paradigm-shifting movement in the tech industry—a rethinking of how we approach innovation, design, and, ultimately, technology itself.There is simply no running away from the fact that the tech industry has developed some pretty unsustainable habits over the past few decades - habits like planned obsolescence, short upgrade cycles, proprietary repair mechanisms and deliberately sub-par build qualities have contributed massively to our massive e-waste <a href="https://www.onio.com/article/batteryless-vs-better-recycling-iot-future.html">problem</a>.The sheer ridiculousness of this constant upgrade culture we see around us is all too tired a trope - it’s common knowledge at this point that we’ve allowed tech companies to bamboozle us with their scarcity-driven marketing.&nbsp;While the smartphone unequivocally represented a huge breakthrough in communication and information technology, it has now become emblematic of this economic sleight of hand that’s being perpetrated by tech giants - a carousel of perpetual consumption, where smartphones are released year after year accompanied by meticulously crafted marketing narratives designed to cloak their predecessors in a veil of inadequacy.&nbsp;These practices deplete rare earth minerals, place enormous amounts of strain on water reserves and contribute to the generation of millions of tonnes of electronic waste.&nbsp;It is <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/electronic-waste-(e-waste)#:~:text=Key%20facts,collected%20and%20recycled%20(2).">estimated</a> by the WHO that over 62 million tonnes of e-waste was produced in the year 2022! Of this, only a paltry 22.3% was formally recorded to have been recycled. These are truly terrifying numbers! We are fast approaching a point where we will be compelled to change course dramatically or face some seriously dire consequences.&nbsp;We’ve created a system (yes we’re all responsible for this!) that has normalised wastefulness and apathy towards precious natural resources. Faber’s forever mouse is emblematic of a new paradigm emerging among tech leaders who understand the precarity of this situation we find ourselves in - a paradigm that prioritises durability, repairability and sustainability over relentlessly churning out low-quality products and in turn, neglecting long-term welfare for short term gains.&nbsp;<h2>The Battery Problem</h2>15 billion batteries are produced every year! That’s a crazy number! Here’s another crazy number –&nbsp; 62 million tonnes of e-waste is generated every year, making its way into landfills and our oceans.&nbsp;This is a grave threat to all life on our planet.&nbsp;Batteries were once seen as a lifeline that would take us to a greener and more sustainable future. But today, the stark reality of batteries is there for everyone to see. Modern Li-ion batteries use rare minerals that are concentrated in specific parts of the world - Lithium and Cobalt for the most part.&nbsp;Lithium mining ravages water tables and wreaks havoc on local ecosystems. Cobalt is largely found in one country - the Democratic Republic of Congo - and is mined by child miners who get paid a pittance and end up developing chronic illnesses that severely impact their futures.The basic point we’re trying to get at is this - our massive global appetite for batteries is a huge red flag in terms of sustainability. For a number of years now, there has been a growing realization that we need a viable alternative power solution. Batteries are not the green power solution that they’re made out to be.&nbsp;<h2>The Rise of Energy Harvesting</h2>This is where energy harvesting technology enters the picture. What if our everyday devices could power themselves using ambient energy from their environment? It's not science fiction—it's happening right now.Energy harvesting technology allows devices to capture and utilize energy from various sources:<ul><li>Movement and vibration (kinetic energy)</li><li>Light (solar energy)</li><li>Temperature differences (thermal energy)</li><li>Radio frequency signals (RF energy)</li></ul>This technology is particularly suited for low-power devices like computer peripherals, which is why Faber's "forever mouse" concept isn't as far-fetched as it might seem. Modern ultra-low-power microcontrollers can operate on incredibly small amounts of energy—we're talking microwatts here. By harvesting energy from the environment, these devices can operate indefinitely without ever needing a battery change.<h2>Beyond the Mouse: A New Paradigm</h2>The implications of this technology extend far beyond just computer mice. Imagine a world where all your peripherals—keyboards, headsets, remote controls, game controllers—never need battery replacement. But it's more than just convenience; it's about fundamentally changing our relationship with technology.This new paradigm is built on several key principles:<h3>1. Durability by Design</h3>Durability is one the defining principles behind this new wave of forever devices. Products that are designed to last for decades and not just 3-4 years. High-quality materials and builds that stand the test of time and don’t ask for incessant upgrades.&nbsp;Moreover, modularity is a major part of this as well - modular designs that allow for repairs and upgrades.&nbsp;<h3>2. Software-First Innovation</h3>This is all about enabling continuous improvement through updates and rolling out new features without necessitating hardware replacements.&nbsp;Which means that devices get to have extended lifespans simply as a result of optimisation and sound design.&nbsp;<h3>3. Sustainable Materials</h3>This one’s pretty much a no-brainer. Recycled and recyclable components form the crux of sustainable design which is built around responsible sourcing and minimal environmental impact.<h2>The Economic Shift</h2>Critics might argue that such durable devices would hurt companies' bottom lines. However, this view is increasingly outdated. Companies like Logitech are recognizing that sustainability isn't just good for the planet—it's good for business:Customers are willing to pay premium prices for lasting quality. Over the course of their ownership, this would imply lower warranty and support costs - not to mention the brand loyalty that companies stand to build through commitment to ethical practices. Moreover, this also opens the doors to new revenue streams from software and services,.&nbsp;<h2>Technical Innovation Meets Environmental Responsibility</h2>The technology enabling this revolution is already here. Ultra-low-power microcontrollers, like <a href="http://ONiO.zero">ONiO.zero</a>, can operate on minimal energy while providing robust processing capabilities. These cutting-edge chips represent a quantum leap in energy efficiency, starting up from less than 1μW of power and seamlessly operating on various energy harvesting sources. They maintain reliable wireless connectivity while processing complex inputs, all with minimal power consumption, making them ideal for the next generation of sustainable devices.<h2>The Path Forward</h2>The shift to batteryless peripherals won't happen overnight, but the momentum is building. Industry leaders are recognizing that the future of consumer electronics lies not in planned obsolescence, but in creating lasting value through sustainable innovation. This monumental transition demands comprehensive industry collaboration on standards alongside sustained investment in energy harvesting research. Success will also depend on effective consumer education about sustainable technology and supportive policy frameworks for sustainable manufacturing practices.<h2>A New Chapter in Tech Evolution</h2>Faber's "forever mouse" concept represents more than just a product idea—it's a symbol of where technology needs to go. As we face increasing environmental challenges, the tech industry must evolve from being part of the problem to becoming part of the solution.The future of consumer electronics isn't about churning out endless new models or forcing unnecessary upgrades. It's about creating devices that last, that improve over time, and that respect both user needs and environmental constraints.<h2>Conclusion</h2>The transition to batteryless, sustainable peripherals represents a crucial step toward a more sustainable tech industry. It challenges us to rethink not just how we power our devices, but how we approach technology consumption as a whole.As we move forward, the success of this transition will depend on continued innovation in energy harvesting technology, commitment from industry leaders, and support from consumers who understand that the best technology is that which serves both human needs and environmental sustainability.The "forever mouse" might have been just a concept, but the future it represents is very real—and it's closer than we think. We're entering an era where technology can truly last forever, powered by the world around us, designed for durability, and built with the planet in mind.

Beyond Batteries: The Future of Forever Devices

And that’s why we’re paying attention to the Internet of Military Things (IoMT).<h2>A Quiet Shift in the Field</h2>IoMT isn’t about flashy drones or sci-fi weaponry. It’s about infrastructure. Layers of small, silent devices — sensors, wearables, nodes — gathering data at the edges of operational environments and quietly pushing it back to decision-makers.The goal isn’t novelty. It’s awareness — real-time information that makes missions safer, faster, and more precise.But that awareness comes at a cost: power.<h2>The Battery Tax</h2>Every device you deploy is a device you have to account for. Charge. Replace. Recharge. Keep track of. And in high-risk, high-complexity environments, battery logistics become their own shadow mission.That’s not news to anyone in defense. Entire ops structures exist just to support power.So when we talk about batteryless sensing, we’re not pitching magic. We’re asking: What happens if the smallest, least critical devices didn’t need batteries at all?<h2>What We Bring to the Table</h2>ONiO.zero isn’t a mil-spec platform. It’s not hardened for frontline combat. But it’s been designed, from silicon upward, to operate with almost no power.It cold-starts from &lt;1μW. It runs without firmware. It harvests energy from RF, light, heat, or motion. And it’s already being used in consumer and industrial applications where battery swaps simply aren’t an option.We’re not here to replace your radios. We’re here to ask: Could your most disposable, hard-to-access, or risk-sensitive sensing nodes run on their own — quietly and indefinitely?<h2>Think in Terms of Roles</h2>A drone may need batteries.A soldier’s HUD may need batteries.But a vibration sensor zip-tied under a convoy axle? That could be energy-autonomous.A node buried in snow, checking environmental drift? That could run on harvested energy.A passive contact sensor embedded in a box that might never open? Same.<h2>It’s Not About Going Batteryless Everywhere</h2>It’s about going batteryless where it makes sense.In defense, where deployment costs are high and maintenance can be risky, even small reductions in battery dependency can mean real strategic gain.Fewer site visits. Fewer logistical dependencies. Lower thermal signatures. Less risk.<h2>We're Not Pretending to Know It All</h2>We’re not writing this as experts in military doctrine. We’re writing as engineers who think in constraints. And when we look at the way military sensing is scaling, we see an obvious constraint that’s still being accepted as default: the battery.It won’t go away. But we’re building hardware that makes it less necessary.If you’re thinking about the future of sensing in defense — particularly the quiet, cheap, critical-but-not-complex parts — we’d love to show you what ONiO.zero can do.Because sometimes, the smartest thing a device can do… is need nothing at all.

Is IoT Technology Going To Help Salvage Our Ocean Crisis?

One Coremark is a single execution or iteration of the program so it lends itself handy in two ways. Both benchmark how many iterations can be executed per clock cycle (MHz) and how many iterations per energy unit (mJ). Typically a CPU will display a certain number for Coremark per megahertz; CM/MHz. Broadly speaking the higher this number is the better or more computational load can be performed by the CPU.When designing digital IPs such as a CPU there is no problem to achieve high computational efficiency if no weight is to be put on how much energy is being used. Now, to use Coremark to also benchmark computational energy efficiency: one measures the number of Coremark per millijoule; ULPMark-CM.Now that we know a bit more about Coremark and what we can use it for - let’s consider a few things.<h2>The Coremark Applicability</h2>There is certainly an argument to be had when it comes to how applicable or representative Coremark is for what you do in your application. Because the benchmark itself is written in a way where the CPU is loaded in a way that is very synthetic, especially for an embedded system. And here we can only nod and say yes, for many applications this is true. However, at the same time Coremark is a nice way to compare between various product offerings in the market. That naturally creates a momentum for pushing as high CM/MHz or CM/mJ. One can certainly see this in the ARM Cortex M lineup, where the M0, M0+, M3, M4 and M33 largely share the same instruction set - but due to implementation differences they yield different Coremark scores.<h2>RISCY ARM wrestle?</h2>At ONiO we utilise the RISC-V instruction set. Everyone will have their own justification for licensing an CPU IP or implementing their own. Certainly, it is very clear that over time ARM’s Cortex M lineup provides some very strong CM/MHz numbers where for instance an M33 in some of the products from ST, Nordic Semiconductor etc. will yield around 4CM/MHz. This is very strong compared to most RISC-V implementations that can be licensed. These seem to offer between 2.8-3.4CM/MHz, something that is certainly not bad scores - but seemingly a bit short compared to ARM. And of course there are some IPs that are better than the numbers listed here! At ONiO we knew pushing beyond 3.2-3.4CM/MHz meant that we had to compromise computational efficiency. Or in other words energy had to be wasted to get more computational power. Being an energy harvested system the gravity is always towards energy efficiency. And thus no such tradeoffs were done.<h2>Gameplay: Upperhand</h2>Luckily a CPU by itself is pretty meaningless - you need a bus system, memories, a clock source and some kind of power management system. And &nbsp;this is where the battle is ultimately going to be won - and where ONiO does its magic. Make all of these pieces really well, fabricate them in a good CMOS process and you have a great combination.For an energy harvesting system like the one implemented on ONiO,there are some disadvantages. Typically when you make a power management system it is easier to achieve a high efficiency number as the power load increases. Simply because at low loads, the quiescent power of the switcher is non negligible. Furthermore - Coremark is run at 3V fixed rail not a solar cell. So while most MCUs will optimise their power delivery system to alway buck down a 3V source to a core voltage and thus have great current translation rate.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/onio/image/upload/v1719475422/CRT_Coremark_2_b7f7a6d9ff.jpg" alt="CRT-Coremark-2.jpg"></figure><h2>Conclusion</h2>ONiO.zero is capable of a very respectable 135CM/mJ and 22uW/MHz while running Coremark from non-volatile memory! A result we are very proud of and an excellent tradeoff between computational and power efficiency. &nbsp;

It’s probably par for the course to be a little jaded with all the sustainability stuff that we’re being bombarded with on the internet. There’s so much sanctimony, name calling, finger pointing, partisanship and doomsaying that we find ourselves just throwing our hands up in exasperation.&nbsp;What’s the point even? It’s just depressing!It doesn’t need to be though.&nbsp;There seems to be this popular notion floating about that things have never been as bad as they are today.&nbsp;Are we sure about this?Forget about arriving at some overarching, comprehensive conclusion that takes ALL the variables into account - if that’s even possible - but if we only looked around us and compared our lives to that of our grandparents or great-grandparents, there’s a lot to be thankful for.&nbsp;Smallpox - I mean, think about it - that couldn’t have been fun!There’s so much pessimism and maybe worse&nbsp; - so much certainty about the fact that things have never been worse - which is probably not true, all things considered.Make no mistake, we ARE up against some pretty monumental challenges - the battery waste crisis, soil pollution, deforestation, mass extinctions - you name it!&nbsp;but it’s not all bad - we’ve given a good account of ourselves with a lot of stuff - more people than ever before have access to education, wealth, personal safety and social opportunities. We have the internet! Woohoo!We’ve created a world where people from one country can move to another without necessarily being attacked for looking different.&nbsp;Where are you going with all this?What we’re getting at is this - do conversations around sustainability and ecology necessarily have to be the kind that cause jaded resignment?&nbsp;Is there a better way to talk about these topics?Could we frame these collective issues in a better way? In a way that actually allows for more creativity, positivity and solutions - rather than negativity, pessimism, anxiety and divisiveness?<h1>Not The Worst Times</h1>As we mentioned earlier, a lot of things are working well in today’s world - we really need to get to terms with this fact. The <a href="https://upworthyscience.com/steven-pinker-data-shows-that-life-today-is-better-than-ever/">statistics</a> bear this out as well - maybe this idea comes from a very myopic perspective - one not informed by a study of history perhaps.&nbsp;If only we flipped through the pages of history and saw how hopeless we were for most of our history - what with wars, famines, diseases and poverty - we wouldn’t be quite so certain in dismissing the modern world so completely; for all its problems, it does have a lot going for itself.Why are we stuck on this point?Because this is probably one of the most significant underlying reasons for our negativity and pessimism around topics of sustainability - that we think we are the only generation of people to have ever faced huge challenges in the world.&nbsp;That’s simply not true.&nbsp;Living on this planet has always been a tenuous, scary and precariously uncertain proposition - if anything, more so in the past than today.&nbsp;Maybe we just have access to a lot more information on a global scale than people did in the past - maybe this creates the illusion that there’s something wrong all the time. Our nervous systems are always in a state of panic - high alert!And then no wonder we make these dreadful conclusions about these “terrible” times that we live in - as if it was a foregone conclusion that we’re the most unlucky generation of people ever to roam the face of earth.&nbsp;This can’t be coming as a surprise to anyone though - Come on - we’re pretty negativity biased as individuals - it would only stand to reason that we’d be negativity biased as a collective as well.&nbsp;See, the thing is - the human nervous system is designed in a way to prioritise negatively valenced stimuli, information and feedback over positive ones.Why is that, you ask?Well, to flog an already overworked cliche - picture our prehistoric ancestors - the ones who were the most la-di-da just weren’t as good at survival as the ones who were super sensitive to paranoia about getting mauled to death by a sabertooth tiger -&nbsp;We’re oversimplifying - but you get the gist.&nbsp;This negative bias exists to help us survive. The pain caused by unfavourable situations and outcomes outweighs the pleasure caused by positive situations and outcomes - this helps us survive.&nbsp;Dr.Jordan Peterson expresses the same sentiment rather succinctly when he says&nbsp;“well it’s because you can be absolutely dead and you can only be so happy”OK now,&nbsp;Back to the matter at hand….The facts seem to suggest that we’re miles ahead of any other group of people to have inhabited this planet across a whole bunch of metrics.&nbsp;And yet, we’re all so doom and gloom about things.&nbsp;See, we’re not naive optimists. Like we mentioned earlier, it IS true that we are up against some pretty TITANIC challenges that we’ll have to find some immediate answers to if we intend to keep this party going.&nbsp;But that doesn’t call for doom and gloom, does it?Urgency? Yes, for sure.&nbsp;Global cooperation, common sense, collective responsibility - yes, yes, yes - all of that!But not doom and gloom!&nbsp;Doom and gloom isn’t going to help us. Innovating might help us. Sharing ideas might help us. But collective despair isn’t going to take us very far unfortunately.&nbsp;There might even be a case to make that all this chaos that we’re unfurling on the planet is down to us feeling so crummy and trying to make ourselves feel better with more stuff.&nbsp;Granted, that’s a wild oversimplification but it’s not entirely without credence.&nbsp;Our overconsumption is a coping mechanism for all sorts of negativity. If anything, more doomsday prophesying is only going to make our problems worse.&nbsp;<h1>The cheerful, optimistic case for sustainability</h1>Look, we’re making a mess of the planet.&nbsp;There’s no two ways about that. We simply have to face the facts. Whether we like it or not, we’re being faced with some pretty big challenges that are not simply going to disappear.&nbsp;But here’s the thing.&nbsp;Can we be more optimistic with it?Can we bring a sense of lightness to it?Hey - we’re just asking questions here. We’re no experts. But this is what we think.&nbsp;We do need to talk about this stuff. The more we talk about this stuff, the more our chances of actually being able to come up with powerful solutions.&nbsp;And make no mistake, we do need to do more than talk as well. More people talking about sustainability is good but that isn’t enough in itself.&nbsp;We need to take action.&nbsp;We need to implement real changes to the way we do things. Change our collective habits. Come up with new ways of doing things.&nbsp;None of this is optional. None of this can be wished away.&nbsp;But again, none of this is cause for doom and gloom. Seriousness isn’t going to solve the problem.&nbsp;In fact, it might just do the opposite.&nbsp;It might create so much subconscious resistance and fear in us that we choose to ignore these problems altogether. That would be a proper disaster.&nbsp;In fact that’s already what’s going on in many ways.&nbsp;For many of us, sustainability is a pet issue that we love to talk about.&nbsp;We love talking about it, making noise around it and pointing fingers at those we think are responsible.&nbsp;But then, we go back to our usual ways - overconsumption, apathy and haphazardness.&nbsp;This is not helping the planet.And, it definitely isn’t helping us.&nbsp;Here’s an alternative.What if we reverse the equation?What if we replace doom and gloom with cheerful optimism - and replace the apathy and overconsumption with concerted action, mindful consumption and more environmentally sensible behaviour?Doesn’t that just immediately sound like a better way of going about things?And it’s not just a psychological hack either - in spite of all the negativity around the topic, there is actually quite a lot of reason to cheer.&nbsp;Contrary to the narrative that the world is falling apart, there is actually quite a bit of evidence to suggest the contrary - we are seeing a massive uptick in various measures of human wellness.&nbsp;Take a look at the infographic below for instance - it’s very telling -&nbsp; we’ve never done better than we are doing right now in terms of wealth, education or health.&nbsp;But you might say - “hey! but those are not sustainability markers”Fair enough - but worries about sustainability are just a tiny bit downstream from worries about the state of the world overall - we tend to be pessimistic about current issues - this makes it difficult for us to see these challenges in the right context.&nbsp;We tend to forget that life on earth has always been rife with challenging situations and things have actually never been better.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/onio/image/upload/v1722258758/World_as_100_people_2024_1350_78d637cbff.png" alt="World-as-100-people-2024_1350.png"><figcaption>Retrieved from: 'https://ourworldindata.org/a-history-of-global-living-conditions'</figcaption></figure><h2>Looking Ahead</h2>These are exciting times to live in.&nbsp;Modern technology allows us to come together, globally, like never before.&nbsp;The challenges we are faced with are daunting - but our capabilities are pretty incredible too.&nbsp;Let’s replace pessimism with resolute grit. Apathy with urgency. Despair with focused action and worry with relentless cheer.Relax. We got this!

Is there a better way to talk about sustainability?

<div class="raw-html-embed"><div id="elevenlabs-audionative-widget" data-height="90" data-width="100%" data-frameborder="no" data-scrolling="no" data-publicuserid="6c21a9b7ad57703231dc05932a21048d408feec7404ccb881f833127d05d8391" data-playerurl="https://elevenlabs.io/player/index.html">Loading the <a href="https://elevenlabs.io/text-to-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elevenlabs Text to Speech</a> AudioNative Player...</div><script src="https://elevenlabs.io/player/audioNativeHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>There seems to be this consensus understanding that mission statements are these cliche-ridden things that you come up with because you have to.Most people associate them with university admission processes or press releases or some such contrived thing.&nbsp;There’s a lot of cynicism surrounding mission statements - they are seen as trite and disingenuous.We do them because we have to. That’s the general idea.&nbsp;Does this mean that mission statements as a whole are flawed? Not at all! It’s just that the way most people understand mission statements leaves a lot to be desired.&nbsp;It’s not so much a question of mission statements being wrong as a concept - it’s that most people get the whole thing wrong - super wrong!<h1>The Why Is Super Important</h1>We’re mental creatures.Our bodies, minds and energy flow is all connected and works as one cohesive unit. We function at our best when there is full-on harmony and lubrication amongst all our “layers”.&nbsp;<h4>Where are you going with this man?</h4>We’ll tie it back - promise!The context behind our actions often matters more than the content of the action itself.&nbsp;There is an old Eastern tale that highlights this truth beautifully.&nbsp;An old man walking down a deserted road outside a village happens upon a bunch of men sitting in a straight line and breaking huge rocks with pickaxes and chisels.&nbsp;He asks the first man “what are you doing there?”The guy looks at the old man with an exasperated look and barks “can’t you see i’m breaking a damn rock? I’m going to be doing this all damn day! Now will you please leave me the heck alone!”The old man then asks the man next to him, doing the same thing “and what are you doing?”The guy responds in a resigned manner - “I’m doing what I have to do to make a living”The old man walks a little further down the path and sees another young man doing the same thing but with a song on his lips and an infectious glow on his face. This guy was absolutely engrossed in what he was doing.&nbsp;The old man asks him the same question “young man - what are you doing?”The guy looks at him and replies joyously - “I’m building the greatest temple the world has ever seen!”You see, the young men were breaking rocks for a monolithic temple that was being built. It was to be a spectacle in stone. All of them were doing the same thing. But it was only the third guy that actually understood the significance of what he was building.&nbsp;This allowed him to contextualise the laborious and seemingly mundane task of breaking rocks in a way that made it pleasurable and joyful.&nbsp;The other two didn’t quite have the same perspective.&nbsp;They couldn’t see what they were doing as anything more than drudgery.&nbsp;They’d lost track of the big picture.&nbsp;This is how a lot of us look at the things we do - we do them mechanically. We don’t really understand the greater context that allows us to make sense of why we do those things. It also doesn’t help that a lot of us are stuck doing things that we don’t care about.&nbsp;That’s a whole other tragedy that we’re not going to speak about here.&nbsp;A lot of companies and people set out with a purpose to create something they care about but get lost somewhere along the way. They get waylaid by the day-to-day affairs and administrative drudgery involved in bringing their visions to life.&nbsp;Here’s where a mission statement can really help.&nbsp;<h1>Setting The Big-Picture Vision&nbsp;</h1>The unfortunate truth is that most employees are not able to recall their company’s mission statement.&nbsp;This is why there’s so much cynicism about mission statements to begin with&nbsp; (see, we said we’d tie it back).&nbsp;The general idea is that they are not genuine - i.e. they are just words that lack depth. Power.&nbsp;Again, we don’t think that mission statements as an idea are flawed or redundant.&nbsp;In fact, we’re trying to make the case that they’re anything but.&nbsp;<h4>So, what are people getting wrong with their mission statements?</h4>The way we look at it, a powerful mission statement should be able to complete the following sentence - We Exist to &lt;Insert Mission Statement&gt;Here’s a really cool example. This is what Airbnb’s mission statement looks like within this framework.&nbsp;<blockquote>We exist to help create a world where you can belong anywhere. - &nbsp;Airbnb’s mission statement</blockquote><h4>Why does it work?</h4>It works because it helps distil the core vision of the company into a memorable and condensed format. By doing this, it acts as a sort of orienting mechanism for the company and all its employees - a north star, if you will.&nbsp;See, running a company is no joke. Having a vision is super important but there are a million other things to take care of in the process of bringing the vision to life -&nbsp;In the process of getting a business up on its feet, the people involved typically run through millions of tasks and events - meetings, pitches, conferences, lunches, trade shows, interviews, coding sprints, commutes, emails - you name it! Not to mention the endless hours of just plugging away on your computer, seemingly into the void.&nbsp;None of this stuff is glamorous. It’s work. A lot of it!In the middle of all of this, it’s easy to start thinking of things like visions and missions as “airy fairy”.&nbsp;It’s what you gotta do for PR but it doesn’t really get things anywhere- doesn’t actually move the needle.&nbsp;<h4>Wrong!&nbsp;</h4>That’s where an authentic and powerful mission statement - clear, no-nonsense and functional - stands out.&nbsp;Sure there’s a lot of work involved. There’s no business without the grind. And no mission statement, or branding exercise is going to replace the grind.But the fact is, a good mission statement can help you get through the grind without losing perspective. It helps keep your head over the water so to speak - and not drown in all the millions of little tasks that you need to get done.&nbsp;As we saw earlier with the Airbnb example, if you have a simple why for doing what you’re doing, then it’s magical how much easier it is to keep your head up and sail through those million things that you need to get done in order to make it happen.&nbsp;<h1>Vision</h1>It’s hard to come up with a powerful why if you don’t have a vision.&nbsp;<h4>What’s a <a href="https://www.onio.com/article/onio-manifesto.html">vision</a>?</h4>A vision is basically like a desire on a large scale. It’s an orienting mechanism. It’s the answer to the question “where are we headed?”A company is essentially a bunch of individuals working together towards a vision.&nbsp;The vision can be an overarching one - an idea for how you see the world - how you’d like to reshape it.&nbsp;Or, it can be something a lot more tangible and time-bound - like, where you want to be in 3, 5 or 10 years.&nbsp;If the mission is a north star, going by the previous analogy, then the vision is like a roadmap.&nbsp;<h1>The No BS Mission Statement</h1>So, what does a no BS mission statement look like?The question kind of answers itself here - it shouldn’t have BS. It should be honest, clear and straightforward, But that’s not saying anything is it?Here’s an attempt at a more useful breakdown of what a good mission statement entails.&nbsp;<h2>1. Nailing the Why and the How</h2>A typical formula would be something like Mission Statement = purported benefit + delivery - i.e the why and the howPurported benefit would be the company’s raison d’ etre - it’s reason to be - the problem it's solving. The benefit it hopes to provide to the world.&nbsp;Delivery is the means through which that benefit will be provided - i.e the howHere’s an example -&nbsp;Google’s mission statement is:<blockquote>To organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful</blockquote>This is a great example of a no BS mission statement - it ticks both the boxes - the purported benefit, or the why, is to make the world’s information universally accessible and useful.&nbsp;The delivery or the how, is “to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”.That’s a great example of a simple statement neatly answering the questions “why do we exist? What are we here to do? How are we going to do it?”<h2>2. Keeping It Simple</h2>You might be doing an amazing job explaining your why and how, but if your mission statement isn’t memorable, repeatable and inspirational, it’s not really doing its job well.&nbsp;Verbosity isn’t what it’s about with these things.&nbsp;It’s a lot more about how much of the essential power of your purpose can you capture in as few words as possible - like a mantra, energises you and puts some perspective into you when the going gets tough.&nbsp;A good way to think about this is to imagine the mission statement on a tee-shirt.&nbsp;If it isn’t badass or succinct enough to look good on a tee-shirt, then it’s probably not going to cut it.&nbsp;Let’s look at another example: &nbsp;<blockquote>To create an entertainment experience that thrills, delights and fascinates our consumers; To create a workplace that allows for people from all backgrounds to thrive and feel included. To create a business that systematically achieves long-term financial success without compromising on the health of the environment</blockquote>See, now this is a terrible mission statement. The goals it enumerates are not bad by any stretch - they are great ideas to be motivated by.&nbsp;But the way it’s structured is haphazard, wordy and un-memorable. It’s going to look terrible if it’s printed on a tee-shirt - assuming you could even get it to fit on a tee shirt.&nbsp;But you could take this too far, you could make a mission statement that’s too generic and too simple -&nbsp;Say, something like this -&nbsp;<blockquote>To make a positive impact in the world.</blockquote>That would be another terrible mission statement.&nbsp;It pretty much doesn’t say anything about the how. Even the why is generic and uninspiring. It doesn’t have any real power or authenticity to it.&nbsp;So, the idea is to keep it real and keep it simple - not too wordy, not too corporate, not too sleazy, not too vague.&nbsp;<h2>3. Keeping it real</h2>This one’s a biggie.&nbsp;And, also kind of obvious.&nbsp;You can’t lie in your mission statement. Your mission statement isn’t going to be any good if it doesn’t articulate your core mission.&nbsp;And also, this goes without saying, but it’s definitely not going to work if your core mission isn’t all that inspiring to begin with.&nbsp;Your mission statement needs to reflect the essence of your business in a way that is real, raw and punchy.&nbsp;A great example of this is Nike’s manifesto (featured below).This is a great example of keeping it real.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/onio/image/upload/v1716884678/nike_vision_statement_9885c32df6.jpg" alt="nike_vision_statement.jpg"></figure>This is why Nike is one of the best known brands in the whole wide world.&nbsp;Here’s a video of Steve Jobs talking about what makes Nike one of the best marketed brands in the world in spite of them selling an out and out commodity - shoes!<div class="raw-html-embed"><div style="position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;">

 </iframe>
</div></div>&nbsp;In the video, Jobs does an amazing job of highlighting why this is the case - he says it’s because Nike actually doesn’t market themselves as a shoe company - they market themselves as guys who revere athletes, athletics and athletic achievements.&nbsp;This only works because they really do. At its core, this is what Nike is about!That’s what we’re trying to get across here - authenticity goes a really long way.And by extension, an authentic mission statement goes a really long way in -&nbsp;Getting everyone - working on the various levels of an organisation -&nbsp; on the same pageConveying the raw essence or core of an organisation to the world, at large.<h1>Some of Our Favourite Mission Statements</h1>We thought we’d wrap up by going through some of our favourite mission statements.&nbsp;These are all great examples of hard-hitting, clear, no-BS mission statements that do a great job of capturing the core ethos of the respective organisations.&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><ul class="ul--navi">
 <li>
 1
 
 Tesla - "To Accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy." This one gets the point across very efficiently - it states a massive global problem, drawing our attention to it. And then, it proceeds to position the company as the leading solution provider.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 2
 
 Google - "To organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful." Again, this one nails the basics and really manages to convey the core idea behind the company in a short and sweet manner.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 3
 
 Sweetgreen - "To inspire healthier communities by connecting people to real food." Very evocative - evokes strong emotions and uses this to communicate the organisation’s values and vision. Simple, no-nonsense and incredibly effective. 
 
 </li>
 <li>
 4
 Patagonia - "Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis." Not as minimalistic as the previous two - this one’s a multi-part statement. But it works so well because it manages to communicate two core values that are integral to the company - product quality and sustainability. The authenticity shines through. 
 
 </li>
 <li>
 5
 
 ONiO - "We exist to create a sustainable, battery-free future for electronics." This mission statement beautifully encapsulates ONiO’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. It emphasizes a future where electronics are powered by clean energy, highlighting the company’s dedication to environmental responsibility and technological advancement.
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 </div><h1>Wrapping Up</h1>More than a marketing exercise - which is increasingly how mission statements are viewed - a good mission statement shows how clearly an organisation is able to articulate it’s core reason-to-be.&nbsp;If a founder struggles to express the core mission of his/her company in a terse and punchy manner, it indicates something a lot worse than just poor communication or sloppy branding. It indicates a fundamental lack of clarity around what the company wants to be or do.&nbsp;An authentic, clear and powerful mission statement is a powerful tool that can serve multiple purposes - it can communicate your company’s identity to the world while also aligning your team around your core values. This makes it possible for the daily grind of your team members to be centred around a larger cause.&nbsp;So, go ahead and take the time to craft a compelling mission statement that truly reflects the essence of your company - it’s going to be so worth it!&nbsp;
