Edge Gateway I/O module GPIO mapping
The GPIOs on the external I/O Module for the Edge Gateway are behind the PIC microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller is exposed
to the host system and to the host OS as a USB-HID device. Software applications developed to communicate with the GPIOs may
use the protocol defined in the above set of references to communicate with the GPIO modules.

Edge Gateway I/O module PCIe expansion mapping
The PCIe slot on the external I/O module for the Edge Gateway is driven directly from the host PCIe bus. Since PCIe expansion is
generic, there are no PCIe device-specific drivers integrated into the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB OS image. If a specific PCIe
31

card is to be used on this slot, contact the vendor of that PCIe card to verify if they have the required drivers for Windows 10 IoT
Enterprise LTSB.

Expansion IO Module
PCIe
The PCIe slot on the external IO Module for the Edge Gateway is driven directly from the host PCIe bus. Since it is generic PCIe
expansion, there are no PCIe device-specific drivers integrated into the OS image. If there is specific PCIe card used on this slot,
contact the Vendor of that PCIe card for drivers.

GPIO
The GPIOs on the external IO Module for the Edge Gateway are behind PIC microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller is exposed to
the host system and to the host OS as a USB-HID device. Software application developed to communicate with the GPIOs may use
the protocol defined in following set of references to communicate with the GPIO modules. There is no native application software
available on the factory OS image that communicates with the IO Module GPIOs.

Network configuration and default setup
The following commands can be used to configure different network interfaces on the system with Wind River Linux on it.
Network configuration on Wind River Linux IDP 3.1 environment can be performed through the LuCi web interface.
NOTE: The LuCi web interface supported in the default OS image.
The user can reach the LuCi web interface on the system using the https://< IP-Address-of-eth0-interface-of-the-gateway >
following URL from a different system with a web browser and the system should be on the same network or connected to the
system’s network through proxy.
The default login credentials to the LuCi web interface are root/root. The IP address of the eth0 network port can be identified
by performing the ifconfigcommand on the Linux terminal.

Network interface configuration
The Edge Gateway contains the following default network configurations:
•
•
•
•
•

br-lan — Bridged LAN Interface
eth0 — Wired LAN interface 0
eth1 — Wired LAN Interface 1
lo — Loop back interface
wlan0 — Wireless LAN (or Wi-Fi) interface mode

eth0 — Wired LAN Interface. By default eth0 interface is configured to be DHCP client interface. When this ethernet port is
connected to a DHCP server, this interface obtains an IP address from the DHCP server.
Run the root@WR-IDP-xxxx:~# ifconfig eth0 command to identify the IP address. The network IP interface information is
available under inet addr: x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the system.
eth1 — Wired LAN interface. The default configuration for the second wired ethernet interface eth1 serves as DHCP server and
provides IP addresses to any device requesting IP address from the system. The devices requesting DHCP addresses get IP
addresses in the range of 192.168.1.x subnet. The default DHCP server is at 192.168.1.1 address. For reconfiguring this
network interface by logging in to the LuCi web interface.
Wlan0 — Wireless LAN or Wi-Fi interface. The default configuration for the WLAN0 interface on the system with Wind River Linux
is in access point (AP) mode. The mode can be changed to client mode through LuCi web interface.
Br-lan — The bridged LAN interface. By default, the bridge interface is configured to bridge ethernet eth1 and the WLAN0
interface, so any devices that would like to connect to the system in WiFi mode or through eth1 wired mode can obtain IP addresses

49

through the system. The issued IP addresses by the access point and eth1 interface are in the 192.168.1.x subnet. The default
access point SSID for the access point is IDPDK-5591. The bridge configuration can be modified using LuCi web interface. Follow
Intel/Wind River’s documentation for more details on configuring, WAN, WLAN, and br-LAN network interfaces using LuCi web
interface.

Bluetooth configuration
The system supports an integrated Bluetooth network interface. The Bluetooth network can be configured using LuCI web interface
on the Wind River Linux OS. To configure Bluetooth interface on the system with Wind River Linux OS.
1.

Log in to the LuCI web interface as identified in the steps referenced in the previous sections.

2.

Bluetooth configuration is supported under Network tab drop-down menu Bluetooth of the Web Interface.

•

Enable Bluetooth interface in this page and hit Scan to identify nearby other Bluetooth enabled devices.

Wireless WAN network interface configuration

•

4G-LTE — Interface using Telit LE910 module for carrier Verizon

•

HSPA+ — Interface using Telit HE910 module

LE910 WWAN connection configuration
Follow the Service Manual to install the LE910 module and the corresponding carrier SIM card in the system. After the module and
SIM card is installed, activate the WWAN connectivity by:
NOTE: The default Wind River Linux OS image currently uses AT commands to configure WWAN interface and LTE
connectivity.
NOTE: LuCi web interface currently does not support configuring the WWAN interface.
Identifying installed WWAN module and Carrier
To identify the serial interface on the installed LE910 module’s tty ACM interface, using dmesg command: # dmesg | grep –i
ttyacm
The system may contain more than one USB ACM device other than Telit LE910 or Telit HE910 module. Based on the output for the
dmesg command, identify the ttyacm ports that were enumerated, for example, below is the output for dmesg | grep –i
ttypacm command for more than one USB ACM device on the system.

50

Launch minicom terminal utility on the system with one of the USB ACM device port to identify that we have the correct USB ACM
device for Telit LE910 device before configuring the device, e.g. below shows how to launch minicom with ttyACM1 as interface:
•
•
•
•
•

# minicom –D /dev/ttyACM1
Inside minicom, type the following AT command to identify if it is the “Telit” device AT+GMI
If the response to the above command is Telit, then you have identified the correct device ttyacm port.
If the output is not Telit or Error, then you have to exit out of minicom and start minicom with a different port like e.g. /dev/
ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyACM3 etc,
Example of starting minicom with /dev/ttyACM1 as port of communication below.
root@WR-IDP-0A1D:~# root@WR-IDP-0A1D:~# minicom -D /dev/ttyACM1

Configuring the WWAN carrier parameters
Inside minicom terminal, the following AT commands have to be issued in sequence to configure the LTE module, the line with
DESCRIPTION are references to the AT commands to type and are not to be entered as a part of the AT commands themselves
DESCRIPTION: Check that the SIM is inserted and PIN is unlocked using the at+cpin? command
DESCRIPTION: If the SIM is locked with a PIN the at+cpin=”1234” AT command can be used to unlock the SIM. Where the SIM
PIN is 1234, if the PIN is different, use appropriate PIN number in the command below.
DESCRIPTION : Setting up the APN. NCM can be activated using every available CID,
NOTE: Skip this step for Verizon as it is preprogrammed (use AT+CGDCONT? to identify if the CID3 is vzwinternet).
The at+cgdcont=3,"IP","broadband" command has to be issued for AT&T based SIM. In the command, 3 is the
CID(Connection ID), this can be between 1 to 5, 3 is shown to keep the value consistent between VZ and ATT based solution. IP in
the command indicates the TCP-IP protocol. broadband in the command is the name assigned by AT&T as a network ID or APN to
connect to logically, this name is assigned by the carrier.
DESCRIPTION : Check the state of the modem
at+cops?
at+cgatt?
DESCRIPTION: Run the at#ncm=1,3 command to enable NCM on CID 3 (this command must be sent on a USB instance (in this

Register Edge Gateway at Intel Developer Hub
The Dell Edge Gateway 5000 series with Wind River Linux IDP 3.1 supports Developer Hub portal within the Gateway. This portal can
be used for performing variety of configuration functions on the Gateway along with using it for developing software layers on top of
the base Wind River Linux OS Image, sensor devices integration to the gateway and hardening of the combined application / base
OS image for deployment.
The developer portal has to be used for registering the Edge Gateway 5000 at Intel Marketplace to obtain credentials to connect to
the software package update repository. The following are the two key URLs required for developer solutions on the Edge Gateway
using Wind River Linux IDP.
http://shopiotmarketplace.com : This is registration site for registering your Gateway device with Wind River Linux and obtaining
credentials for Windshare repository access for package updates.
NOTE: For Dell Edge Gateway with Wind River Linux OS image solution, your (customer’s) Dell point of contact should
have already registered your contact information at Intel IoT Marketplace and you should have received notification from
Intel marketplace on procedure for you to get login credentials to Windshare repository from where software packages
and updates to Wind River Linux OS can be obtained. If you have not received notification from Intel IoT Marketplace,
contact your Dell sales point of contact to get you registered.

54

Some of the detailed documentation on how to develop for Wind River Linux OS image based Gateway 5000 solution and how to
utilize built in Developer Hub are available at www.intel.com/gatewaytraining please refer to that site for more details.
The following steps gives basic guidelines to follow once you receive your Dell Edge Gateway 5000 product with Wind River Linux
IDP 3.1 base OS image.
The Dell Edge Gateway 5000 product with Wind River Linux IDP 3.1 base image from the factory is shipped with particular version of
the RCPL package(RCPL 13) from Wind River. The RCPL versions from Wind River are periodically updated by the Wind River team
and it is recommended for the Edge Gateway user/customers to upgrade to the latest version of RCPL by following the procedure/
steps indicated below before developing software stack and middleware on top of the OS image. The latest RCPL image provides
security updates and other bug fixes for the software packages.
•

Connect the Ethernet WAN port ETH1 of your Dell Edge Gateway 5000 series platform that came with factory installed Wind
River Linux OS image to an internet connected router that can assign a DHCP address to the Gateway’s ETH1 interface. Make
sure this connection has direct internet access outside of firewall and proxy connection during initial setup.

•

Login into the OS using default root/root credentials on the Gateway. Find out the IP address of the ETH1 interface using
ifconfig.

•

In the linux prompt enter the root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# smart update command to update the package cache and default
repository channel. The smart update command updates the cache of already included update channels and repository.

•

Enter the root@WR-IDP-XXXX: smart channel --list to list the default channels supported by the factory image on
the Edge Gateway.

•

At this point, with another browser enabled PC system connected to the same network as the Gateway , type in the IP address
of ETH1 interface on the browser URL address, i.e. http://. Default evaluation of this was
performed using Google Chrome browser, if available use Chrome browser.

•

A pop-up window shows up with requiring the user to login. Log in to the browser window using "gwuser" as username and
"gwuser" as password.

•

Read license agreement and follow instructions to continue.

55

•

Select the packages tab inside the IoT Developer Hub, search for iot-developer-hub package and select to update that
package only, it is not necessary to update other packages at this time. Give few minutes for package to download and update.

•

After update if the browser session terminates or logs the user out, follow the procedure above to log back in into the web
interface. Since the update might be happening it might take couple of minutes to re-connect for the web interface to respond,
wait until the interface allows to log the user back in.

•

Once logged back into the developer hub, go into the "Administration" tab and choose "Upgrade to Pro" option. This tab updates
all the Pro Packages from Wind River that are already licensed and available free to install with the Gateway 5000 series product
with Wind River OS license.
– When Upgrade to Pro is selected, the user will be asked to enter Wind River credentials for Windshare repository. The user’s
sales contact at Dell should have already registered your contact information with Intel/Wind River and the user should have
received email notification from Intel / Wind River describing the procedure and process to obtain the Windshare repository
credential from Intel/Wind River.

– If you have not gotten such email, contact your sales contact at Dell to get you through the registration process to obtain
credentials for the Windshare repository.
– When the WindShare credentials are entered, additional set of repositories from where packages can be downloaded are
added to the channel list. The additional set of channels can be reviewed by using the smart command in the Linux prompt –
smart channel –-list.
•

Once the Wind River credentials are entered during the Upgrade to Pro package selection, the upgrade process should continue
and would take some amount of time to complete. Wait for few minutes for the upgrade to complete.

•

Once upgrade to Pro packages are complete, exit out of the browser and clear browser cookies and cache, re-login back into the
Developer Hub using the procedure described above and under "Administration " tab choose "Install OS Updates". The system
might ask for Windshare Pro credentials, re-enter the Windshare repository credentials obtained as describe in the steps above.

•

At this point the system should check for update availability in the Windshare repository and would indicate if any updates are
available, if available initiate the update process using the Install OS Updates. Such updates could take possibly up to an hour or
more depending on your network connection. Let the system update to complete and make sure the internet connection is
continuous.

56

•

Once the update of the OS is complete, the Gateway should reboot and now the system should be upgraded to the latest RCPL
release available for the Gateway 5000 product at the Windshare repository. At this point the user should have an environment
ready to develop other layers of applications on top of the Gateway 5000 system.
Below are some of the sample screenshots of the Developer Hub web interface described in the steps above.
Below are some of the sample screenshots of the Developer Hub web interface described in the steps above.

57

•

The package tab indicates installed packages on the platform, update to the packages can be performed and additional
repository channels can be added through the developer hub portal.

Edge Gateway I/O Module GPIO Mapping
Description: The GPIOs on the Gateway are managed through GPIO driver on the OS. The cloud LED on the Gateway is attached to
one of the GPIOs and below are the steps on how to control the cloud LED in Wind River Linux OS.
1.

Export Cloud LED PIN:
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo 346 > /sys/class/gpio/export
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio346/direction

2.

Turn on Cloud LED:
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio346/value

3.

Turn off Cloud LED:
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio346/value

Edge Gateway I/O Module based GPIO Mapping
Description: The GPIOs on the external I/O module for the Edge Gateway are behind PIC microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller is
exposed to the host system and to the host OS as a USB-HID device. Software application developed to communicate with the
GPIOs may use the protocol defined in following set of references to communicate with the GPIO modules. There are no native
application software available on the factory OS image that communicates with the IO module GPIOs.

58

The I/O module GPIO mapping and references will be provided as a separate technical sheet and article and will be released at the
support web portal for user/customer reference.
Edge Gateway I/O Module PCIe expansion mapping
Description: The PCIe slot on the external I/O module for the Edge Gateway are driven directly from the host PCIe bus. Since it is
generic PCIe expansion there are no PCIe device specific drivers integrated into the Wind River Linux OS image. If there are specific
PCIe card used on this slot, contact the vendor of that PCIe card to verify if they have Linux drivers and if that is a kernel mode
driver such driver may have to be ported to Wind River Linux OS environment which uses 3.14 Linux kernel version on the Wind River
Linux OS image shipped from the factory on the Gateway.
Edge Gateway Zigbee Module Functions
Description: The Edge Gateway supports a USB Zigbee dongle as an optional add-on hardware. When the Zigbee dongle is present
on the system it is enumerated to the OS as a USB device and accessed through cdc_acm kernel driver layer on the Wind River
Linux host. There are no native application software on the factory installed OS image to perform Zigbee protocol for this device. A
basic communication with the Zigbee module can be verified using minicom terminal interface application as well as to get basic
information from the Zigbee dongle.
For example: The following command would launch minicom with device /dev/ttyACM6 assuming the Zigbee dongle is enumerated
into /dev/ttyACM6 port.
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# minicom –D /dev/ttyACM6
The Screenshot below shows the response from the Zigbee dongle when the Zigbee USB dongle is enumerated under /dev/
ttyACM6 port.
•

Sending an AT command inside minicom session should return an OK from the device.

•

Sending an ATI command inside the minicom session should return the module information like “Telegesis ETRX 3588” etc.

59

Edge Gateway CAN Module Functions
Description: The Edge Gateway supports an optional CAN module that is mounted inside the Gateway itself. The CAN module is
enumerated to the OS as a USB device as USB HID device to the Linux kernel driver layer on the Wind River Linux host. There are
no native application software on the factory installed OS image to perform CAN protocol for this device.
The CAN module presence on the Gateway can be identified by issuing “lsusb” command in the Linux prompt and looking for
“Microchip Technology Inc.,” based device.
For CAN communication protocols and software API references a separate set of references and articles will be provided outside of
this document.
