1.3 Instructions

1. Build a Docker environment for EdgeLink Runtime

1) Install Docker in Ubuntu system


Reference link: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

2) Install EdgeLink Runtime Docker image


Step 1: Download EdgeLink-Docker Agent
https://www.advantech.com.cn/zh-cn/support/details/firmware?id=1-28S1J4D

Step 2: Install the Agent package. (If failed, repeat this step after Step 5)
Apt install ./CONTAINER-edgelink-docker-2.8.0-202112290544-amd64.deb
Note: CONTAINER-edgelink-docker-2.8.0-202112290544-amd64.deb is your file name.
Step 3：Set up soft links for serial ports
For EdgeLink, /dev/ttyAP0 is COM1, /dev/ttyAP1 is COM2 and so on.
For example, I want /dev/ttyS0 to be EdgeLink COM1. I should use “sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyAP0” to set up the soft link. (Please make sure there is no /dev/ttyAP0 in you system
before you set up the soft link)

2. Download project file by EdgeLink Studio

1) Create a project and set the project node type to ‘Container.’

5
The IP address is the Ubuntu OS IP running the Docker environment.

2) Configure the required functions in the project. (For help, refer to the Project Implementation
section).
The following is an example of collecting data from a Modbus/TCP slave device:
It simulates a Modbus/TCP device by Modsim on the PC, and then collects data by EdgeLink
(Container version).

3) Download the project after the configuration is complete.

3. View the results

4. Container checking command

1) edgelink-docker service management


1 stop edgelink-docker
systemctl stop edgelink-docker
2 start edgelink-docker
systemctl start edgelink-docker
3 restart edgelink-docker
systemctl restart edgelink-docker
4 boot disable edgelink-docker
systemctl disable edgelink-docker
5 boot enable edgelink-docker
systemctl enable edgelink-docker
2) Check Container status
docker ps

7
3) Enter the container in the host computer.
Because container share the network with the host computer (this Ubuntu). Needs the
command below to enter.
docker exec -it edgelink /bin/bash

Using “exit” to exit the container to the host PC.

4) Check the system log of container (you should enter the container first)
tail -F /var/log/syslog
