This paper demonstrates the usage of the Genode OS for wirelessly connected,
embedded IoT devices. We show that the modular Genode OS makes the system
robust against corrupted or erroneous updates and provides builtin rollback
functionality. It enables an increased uptime of the device compared to using
an embedded Linux OS. We compare the performance of such device against an
embedded Linux. The claimed properties are presented in the form of a
demonstrator which can initiate discussions among experts from academia and
industry.
