IQRF Gateway controller ​

Controls gateway's button and led.

v1.1.x ​

While button is being pressed green LED is on.

  • after 2s of being pressed red LED flashes 1x: selected daemon API call is executed upon button release
  • after 6s of being pressed red LED flashes 2x: gateway power off is executed upon button release
  • after 10s of being pressed red LED flashes 3x: gateway factory setting is executed upon button release

v1.0.x ​

  • 1-10s button press power off the gateway gracefully.
  • 10s button press restores default IQRF Gateway daemon's and IP configuration and restarts the daemons.
  • Green LED slow flashing means that the daemon is running in operational/forwarding mode.
  • Green LED fast flashing means that the daemon is running in service mode.
  • Red LED slow flashing means that the daemon service is not running.
  • Red LED fast flashing means that the daemon interface is not correctly configured.
bash
sudo systemctl status iqrf-gateway-controller.service

IQRF Gateway setter ​

An util that allows to setup the gateway ID and distribute it to all necessary locations in the file system. It also setups GPIO mapping for the gateway device, secure MQTT broker, performs backup of configuration files for later restore and restarts all necessary services.

It is invoked during very first boot and creates a flag in file system that it has been run already so next boot it exits gracefully if the flag is found.

bash
sudo systemctl status iqrf-gateway-setter.service

IQRF Gateway uploader ​

An util that allows to upload IQRF hex, plugin and TR configuration to the TR module via SPI interface.

It is invoked and used by the gateway web application.

bash
sudo iqrf-gateway-uploader -h

Mosquitto MQTT broker ​

MQTT broker is running on port 1883. There is deafult user: iqrf and password: your particular GWID. Default user and password has been added since image v1.5.0.

  • Tip: IQRF Gateway daemon is already configured and connected to it.
  • Tip: Check simple examples for bash.
bash
sudo systemctl status mosquitto.service

Mender OTA update and remote management ​

Having all the gateways at one place with uploading and troubleshooting capabilities? Remote terminal and port forwarding is possible.

  • Login at https://hosted.mender.io or set up your own open-source Mender server.
  • The client services can be configured and controlled using gateway web interface.
bash
sudo systemctl status mender-client.service
sudo systemctl status mender-connect.service

M/Monit monitoring ​

Having all the gateways at one place with monitoring capabilities?

  • Set up your own M/Monit https://mmonit.com/ server
  • The client service can be configured and controlled using gateway web interface.
bash
sudo systemctl status monit.service

SSH server ​

SSH server is by default disabled. When enabled it runs on port 22.

  • Default credentials: root/1234 (Armbian image)
  • Default credentials: admin/admin (Yocto image)
  • Tip: Use gateway web (/gateway/ssh) page to enable SSH service if required.
  • Tip: Use e.g. Putty client to log in to the gateway.
  • Action: Create your own user once log in for the first time, there is a guide upon login.
bash
sudo systemctl status ssh.service

Zeroconf Avahi ​

Do not know your IP address from DHCP server within your network?

  • Action:Zeroconf for Win
  • Tip: Ping your device using: ping -4 your-gw-hostname.local

The hostname can be found either on the gateway label or via gateway web interface in the information page.

bash
sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon.service
