How to Develop Wireless Connectivity on DSGW-210 IoT Gateway

The DSGW-210 IoT Edge Computer Gateway is a programmable IoT Gateway designed for the IoT Gateway Developer. It provides reliable connectivity for a wide range of wireless IoT devices, including Wi-Fi 2.4G/5G,Zigbee3.0, Bluetooth5.2 and Z-Wave, LoRa, LTECatM1, LTECat1, LTECAT4, Matter&Thread, ECC,GPS. Here are instructions on how to Start Wireless Development on DSGW-210.

Please build a debian system to do the following steps. The code will becompiled on the board, not on host.

root@linaro-alip:~# apt-get update
root@linaro-alip:~# apt-get install libncurses5-dev
root@linaro-alip:~# apt-get install libreadline-dev
root@linaro-alip:~# apt-get install libssl-dev
root@linaro-alip:~# apt-get install libjson-c-dev

1. Prepare some library on the board

2. scp SDK "buildroot/dusun_rootfs/target_scripts/export_zigbee_zwave_ble_gpio.sh"

from host to board, under /root

root@linaro-alip:~# ./export_zigbee_zwave_ble_gpio.sh
root@linaro-alip:~#

Zigbee interface is /dev/ttyUSB0.

Now build a zwave simple test tool and run:

In "my_serialapi_test", press 'a' to include zwave device, 'r' to exclude device, 'd'to reset to default, 'i' to get devices list and 'q' toquit.

The Zipgateway is siliabs software, "my_serialapi_test" is just a very simple tool. For more information about Zipgateway, please visit https://docs.silabs.com/ for more information.

 Z-Wave region

If for default Dusun built, Z-Wave frequency can be configured in

/etc/config/dusun/zwave/region

Default is 0x00: EU

0x01 – US 0x02 – ANZ 0x03 – HK 0x04 – Malaysia

0x05 – India 0x06 – Israel 0x07 – Russia 0x08 – China
