Two USB 2.0 High-Speed ports are available to accept devices and can provide 0.5A per port.

ETHERNET
Two 10/100 Ethernet peripherals are available. By default, both are configured the same and can accept connection to
the customers network. Some advanced topologies could be configured by the customer (bridged, router, etc).

RESET BUTTON
A pin hole reset button (labeled RST) is located next to the HDMI port. A paperclip can be used to activate it.

 Short press (less than 5 seconds) initiates a reboot

 Long press (between 5 and 30 seconds) re-enters Configuration state for IoTConnect Cloud Enrollment (section 3.4)
 Very long press (greater than 30 seconds) performs a Factory Reset

HDMI
An HDMI monitor can be used for console display. It should be connected at boot to enable the proper output.

ONBOARD DIGITAL I/O

The digital inputs and outputs are available as /sys/class/gpio/gpio200 thru gpio207. GPIO200/202/204/206 are
inputs and GPIO201/203/205/207 are outputs. See the schematic in the appendix for detailed connections. GPIOs
must be exported in your application to use them. If they are used in the SDK (IoTConnectSDK.conf) then they are
exported automatically.

http://www.element14.com/gateway Page 16
SmartEdge Industrial IoT Gateway
User Guide

ONBOARD RS232/485
You can use the onboard RS232/485 interface as a serial console, Modbus RTU interface, or other serial usages.

The RS-232/RS-485 port is configured by default for 2-wire RS-485 operation with termination enabled. On board
jumpers can reconfigure the port for full duplex or RS-232 signaling. See section 3.3 for jumper configuration and
connections.

The port is /dev/ttySC0. Refer to the schematics in the appendix for detailed connections.

CANBUS
The internal CANbus is available but not fully enabled by default in the image. It can be enabled by removing the
comments dealing with the can0 section in /etc/network/interfaces. Be sure to set the proper bitrate for your bus.
Utilities cansend and candump are included and the can0 device can be used by the network stacks.

A CAN termination jumper is enabled by default. Refer to section 3.3 for more information and refer to the schematics
in the Appendix.

INTERNAL MPCIE SLOT

This full size mPCIe slot is plug-n-play with USB based cards. PCIe cards are not supported. As with any USB device,
additional drivers may need to be installed.

INTERNAL RASPBERRY PI HAT EXPANSION SLOT

 Connect USB cable between the microUSB port on the Gateway and Type A port on the PC
 On Linux PC (recommended), install a special version of rpiboot to enable mass storage mode on the Gateway:
 sudo apt install git libusb-1.0-0-dev
 git clone https://github.com/Avnet/smartedge-iiot-gateway-custom.git
 cd smartedge-iiot-gateway-custom/rpiboot
 make
 sudo ./rpiboot_secure.sh
 On Windows PC, install a special version of rpiboot to enable mass storage mode on the Gateway:
 Download Windows installer here: https://github.com/Avnet/smartedge-iiot-gateway-
custom/raw/master/rpiboot/win32/rpiboot_setup.exe
 Run the rpiboot_setup.exe, note that you may have to click through a few Windows warnings.
 The installer adds USB drivers for the Gateway, along with the rpiboot.exe executable.
 Once installation is complete, run the rpiboot.exe

Second stage boot server done
 The eMMC should now show up as a drive on the PC

WRITING A NEW IMAGE OR SAVING EXISTING

Once the eMMC is mounted as a drive, individual files can be accessed or the entire drive contents can be copied or
replaced. While it is possible to use Linux "dd" command to read/write a new image, a safer and more user friendly
tool is recommended (example, balenaEtcher). By default, this tool verifies the image was written correctly, which is
very useful to identify possible cable/port issues.

 Download image
 Standard Avnet SmartEdge IIoT Gateway images are available through the http://www.element14.com/gateway
landing page. Click on the Software Image link under Resources.
 Standard Raspberry Pi images won't work without some additional files in the /boot partition (refer to section 4.4)
 Write the image to the Gateway using an image writing tool. Important: if not using balenaEtcher, you must unzip
the image prior to writing.

3.6. SYSTEM CUSTOMIZATION

The SmartEdge IIoT Gateway system can be extended with additional hardware or software as needed for your
application.

HARDWARE CUSTOMIZATION
The standard Pi HAT expansion connector opens up a wide variety of ready-made hardware solutions. Custom HATs
can be developed specifically for your application. In many cases, drivers are already available and the HAT can be
plug-n-play. Other HATs may require adding a dtoverlay in the /boot/config.txt file. Mechanically, you can use the
included expansion ring, and customize it for the installed HAT(s). The 3D files can be provided to create your own
expansion ring.

There's a USB header internally that can be used. If designing a custom HAT, a small extension of the HAT board outline
can include this USB header to add USB devices on the HAT.

A mPCIe slot is available to add cards that use the USB bus. This is mostly for cellular modems, but other cards are
possible. Custom cards can be designed if only 3.3V power and USB interface are used.

SOFTWARE CUSTOMIZATION
Because the Gateway is based on the popular Raspberry Pi computer, there are several O/S and Linux distributions
available. Due to differences between the SmartEdge Gateway and Raspberry Pi, standard Pi images these cannot run
without modification. In most cases, the changes are small and straightforward. See section 4.4 for details.

The kernel source is available to customize as needed from our github site (see section 4.1).

There are a large number of software packages available that can be installed using the Ubuntu "apt" mechanism.

There is a battery backed RTC on the gateway. For systems that do not have internet connectivity (I.e. closed system)
then this can be set then enabled with a few standard Linux commands to keep the date/time even if the power fails.
Normally this system is on the internet and the correct time information is provided using network time keeping
protocols.

http://www.element14.com/gateway Page 24
SmartEdge Industrial IoT Gateway
User Guide

There is a PCIe connector on board and accepts most PCIe USB devices and is primarily used for cellular modem
connections. Note: If you decide to use a cellular modem there will be customization needed control data calls.
Standard Linux tools that are available can be used for dialer customizations.

The gateway has the NodeRed project baseline installed on the system. By default the service is not started. Additional
NodeRed modules will be provided for the device, as they are currently being developed by Avnet. For more
information on NodeRed and how to use it, refer to the following link: https://nodered.org/docs/getting-
started/raspberrypi

The ssh terminal service is disabled by default. You can use the raspi-config tool to enable it. The setting is under the
interface options section. Also add an empty file called “ssh” to the /boot directory, then reboot.

The raspi-gpio tool can be used to see the default GPIO configuration for the gateway. If custom hardware is used on
the HAT connector you should use the device tree overlay to setup and HAT connection GPIO. Then use the raspi-gpio
tool to ensure the GPIO’s are configured correctly.

4. SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

4.1. AVNET IMAGE

The unit comes pre-loaded with a special version of Raspbian. Due to differences in the Avnet SmartEdge IIoT Gateway
compared with a standard Raspberry Pi, standard Raspbian images won't boot without modification. See section 4.4
for details.

LOCAL ACCESS & CONFIGURATION

Connect a USB keyboard and HDMI monitor to the Gateway, and power-on. NOTE: If connecting an HDMI monitor after
power-on, the resolution may not be correct or the output may not be enabled.

Default login: avnet Password: avnet

From this point, you have Linux shell access. You can install additional software components (using apt), control
startup devices (using systemctl), modify the IoTConnect configuration, view logging (files in /var/log), etc.

4.2. SECURE BOOT

 The Gateway has an optional one-time "switch" to enable a secure boot feature
 Once enabled, the processor will ensure only Avnet signed boot files are executed by the processor. Other files will
cause the boot process to halt without explanation (unit will appear dead!)
 Important! After enabling secure boot, only Avnet signed images can be used on the Gateway. All other images will
not boot!
 Please contact [email protected] for additional information on the secure boot feature.

4.3. MISCELLANEOUS
High compatibility with standard Raspbian utilities such as “raspi-config, and raspi-gpio”, etc, make it easy to transition
from a standard Raspberry Pi to the Avnet SmartEdge IIoT Gateway.

TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE

 Various TPM 2.0 compliant utilities can be found in /usr/local/bin.
 U-Boot starts first instead of the kernel, and launches kernel after filling out TPM 2.0 PCR 0 value. If secure boot is
enabled, this provides a core root of trust for measurement (CRTM) implementation.
 TPM 2.0 PCR 0 element contains the value of the kernel (/boot/zImage) that is calculated from u-boot.

DESKTOP GUI
 To conserve space, the desktop GUI is not installed on the standard image
 To install, perform the following steps with a network connection:

# Ensure Avnet /boot files don't change with upgrade

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-bootloader
sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel
sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-sys-mods

# Get latest updates

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade

# Install the desktop GUI

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg xinit
sudo apt install raspberrypi-ui-mods

# Install web browser (optional)

sudo apt install chromium-browser

# Remove downloaded apt packages from above steps (no longer needed)
sudo apt clean

# Change boot setting to enable desktop boot

sudo raspi-config # Use menus to enable desktop boot

User Guide

OTHER SOFTWARE
 For a list of preinstall packages, run "dpkg –l" for current Debian installed packages
 For Python 2.7/3.x installed packages run 'pip list" and "pip3 list".
 Custom utilities are provided for system control and are found in /opt/avnet-iot/ or /usr/bin/
 NodeRed base line installation, not started. Review online NodeRed documentation for Raspberry Pi.
 Minicom and Tio are included as terminal programs.

REAL-TIME CLOCK (RTC)

The onboard real-time clock can restore the system clock on boot-up if a network connection is not available. When a
network connection is available, the system clock and real-time clock are periodically synchronized to a NTP time
server.

RESET BUTTON
The gateway includes a small hole next to the HDMI connector for reset:
 Short press and release performs reboot
 Hold reset for ~10 seconds then release to re-enter Configuration mode. This enables WiFi AP mode and the REST
API to allow configuration with the mobile App. The top LED will blink green-off-red-off to indicate this mode.
 Hold reset for ~45 seconds then release to perform a Factory Reset. This will place the unit back into the out-of-
box configuration state.

4.4. DIFFERENCES FROM STANDARD RASPBERRY PI

It is important to understand these differences if trying to build your own kernel for the Gateway.

CUSTOM BOARD TYPE

The addition of eMMC required creation of a new Pi board type called "custom". The Avnet SmartEdge IIoT Gateway
uses this type. In response, the Raspberry Pi boot firmware searches for "/boot/bcm2710-rpi-custom.dtb" and
"/boot/dt-blob.bin" files, and if not present or correct, the system may not boot. Source for these two files are
located here: https://github.com/Avnet/smartedge-iiot-gateway/tree/master/arch/arm/boot/dts

You should check for other possible changes to our device tree source files based on your target kernel. Our kernel is
based on Linux 4.14.79. Review the history of bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dts file to see if changes may be required to the
bcm2710-rpi-custom.dts file. Then your kernel needs rebuilt (make sure the bcm2710-rpi-custom.dts and dt-blob.dts
files are added to the build process).

WARNING: Because of the above differences, performing any standard Raspberry Pi update that modifies the kernel or
boot files will likely prevent the system from booting. This includes writing a standard Raspbian image to the Gateway
or performing "apt-get upgrade". If this happens, you will have to follow the image update instructions located
elsewhere in this guide (Section 3.5) to fix the /boot files or re-image the system. To prevent Raspbian updates from
automatically updating your kernel and firmware files (and bricking your Gateway), execute the following commands:

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-bootloader

sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-kernel
sudo apt-mark hold raspberrypi-sys-mods

eMMC UPDATE PROCEDURE

Since the Avnet SmartEdge IIoT Gateway contains an eMMC, a special procedure is required to rewrite it. See section
3.5 for details on updating the onboard eMMC.

ON BOARD PERIPHERALS
The Avnet SmartEdge IIoT Gateway has several onboard peripherals that a standard Pi does not. Many of these
peripherals connect to the SPI2 bus on the higher GPIOs, freeing up the GPIOs on the HAT for usage.

Some of these peripherals use a customized driver:

 GPIO expansion: gpio_fxl6408
 UART: sc16is7xx
 CAN: mcp251x
 Cellular: option, usb_wwan, qcserial, qmi_wwan

These driver changes are available from our github repo for the kernel (see section 4.1)

5. IOTCONNECT DETAILS
5.1. USAGE
After first enrolling your Gateway using the mobile App (see section 3.4), you can view and control your device(s)
through the web portal (avnet.iotconnect.io). Once logged in to the web portal, you are presented with a "Dashboard".
IoTConnect documentation is available under the Resource tab. Below are some of the capabilities. Note that some
features require admin level access.

VIEW SENSORS
Once logged in, your device(s) can be found on Device tab on the left side. Clicking on the device tab will show a list of
the devices that are configured for the logged in user.

More advanced options like OTA updates and Command Setup require Administrator rights. For many users, the device
may need to transition from the 30-day trial period to your own paid account before Administrator rights are available.

OTA UPDATES
An update package can be delivered to the Gateway(s) from the IoTConnect Cloud. The update package is a specially
formatted tarball, consisting of a script that gets executed on the Gateway.

To create an update:
 Using a Linux PC, create a directory named "updates"
 Create a file in that directory called install.sh with instructions to perform the update
 Include any other supporting files in that directory
 Compress the "updates" directory contents into a .tar.gz file
 Rename the .tar.gz file to .txt
 Setup the web portal for the OTA firmware update and point the file for OTA to your .txt file
 Test the update thoroughly before sending to production systems
 Issue the OTA update to your device(s)

5.2. CONFIGURING THE IOTCONNECT SDK

As an initial step, you should configure your Gateway using the mobile App "Avnet IoTConnect" for iOS and Android.
See section 3.4 for configuration steps. One sensor, CpuTemperature, is enabled by default and reported to the cloud.

DEFAULT WIFI ACCESS POINT CREDENTIALS

 WiFi AP SSID: IotGateway_xxxxxxxx”
 WiFi AP Passkey: IoTConnect

MODIFY LOCAL CONFIGURATION

 Connect a HDMI monitor and USB keyboard to the Gateway, then power on. Login with the default credentials--
user login: avnet, Password: avnet
 The IoTConnect SDK is located at "/opt/avnet-iot/IoTConnect/sample" or
"/usr/bin/IoTConnectSDK_Py2.7/Testing/sample"
 You can modify the IoTConnectSDK.conf and user_functions.py files in the SDK for your sensors
 Verify or add your IoTConnect mobile App created username and password to the IoTConnectSDK.conf file
 The IoTConnect.conf file contains sections for CloudSDKConfiguration, CloudSystemControl, and
CloudSDKDefaultObject<xxx> entries

http://www.element14.com/gateway Page 30
SmartEdge Industrial IoT Gateway
User Guide

 For the CloudSDKDefault options, you should add the section names [CloudSDKDefaultObject<xxx>] sequentially
numbered and update the DefaultObjectCount in the CloudSystemControl section accordingly

EXAMPLE
You can add/modify the python code in user_functions.py. The user_callbackMessage(msg) receives COMMANDS from
the cloud and user_Initialize() is called when the SDK starts to contain any custom initialization code. Both of these
functions must be present.

 For a simple test, add a section to the IoTConnectSDK.conf file:

[CloudSDKDefaultObject2]
# Predefined objects can go here. NUMBER/STRING/OBJECT
Value=NUMBER
Name=TestUserFunction
UsePythonInterface=ThisIsMyFunction
 Then uncomment the function ThisIsMyFunction() in user_functions.py
 Restart the SDK (either reboot, or sudo systemctl restart iotconnectservice)
 The new information you just added should show up on the cloud

5.3. SYSTEM OPERATIONS

CONFIGURATION MODE
On initial boot, the system comes up in configuration mode. A REST API runs, and the Gateway's WiFi is configured for
Access Point mode. From a mobile device or other WiFi connected PC, you can connect directly to the Gateway's WiFi
(SSID = "IotGateway <sn/cpuid>"). You can determine your Gateway's S/N from the HDMI monitor output.

If you have trouble with the mobile App configuration, and no longer have the WiFi AP as an option, you may have to re-
enter configuration mode on the Gateway. To do this, press and hold the factory reset button for 10 seconds. This will
restart and re-enable the WiFi AP mode.

NORMAL MODE
Once configured the Gateway enters normal mode. The WiFi AP and REST API are disabled, IoTConnect API is running.

TOP LED STATUS INDICATORS

 Configuration Mode: green-off-red-off
 Normal Mode with cloud connection: green-off-green-off
 Shutdown/Reboot/Halt: red fast blink

5.4. WHAT’S NEXT

The IoTConnect SDK can be customized for your application. Additional sensors and controls can be added for the
cloud connection. See the custom github (Sec 4.1) for information.

5.5. PROVISIONING MULTIPLE DEVICES

Multiple gateways can be provisioned without the Mobile Application. It is best to use the Ethernet connection to the
Gateway for this. See section 6.3 for the supported REST API.

STEPS REQUIRED
 Find the IP addresses for the connected Gateway(s)
 Read /DeviceID to get the device's serial number. You can use this to select the files needed for that device. If you
are unsure just issue the REST command to all IP addresses and if it responds then proceed with that Device ID.
 Get the /WiFiIWList of in range WiFi access points. Then put /WiFiClientSSID_PSK to set the new
wpa_supplicant.conf file.
 Issue the /IOTGetIOTConnectSDK command to get the current SDK configuration file. Modify the SDK configuration
file, then use the /IOTSetIOTConnectSDK to replace it.
 Issue the /CloudAttach command to setup the WiFi connection, if configured. It will also start the SDK.
