To cover a large number of IoT use cases, we test our proposed framework against eight different application types with diverse task objectives, ranging from sensing to cryptography. For notational ease, the developed firmware are represented as Fi, with i = 1, 2, . . . , 8. The specific operations coded in these firmware are discussed below:

F1: A given input data block is first encrypted and then decrypted to retrieve the original data. The AES128 algorithm is used in this process and both encryption and decryption is performed in different functions, executed iteratively.
