+=== Thingsquare ===
+[http://www.thingsquare.com Thingsquare] is a software company that offers customized software for the chip on the GW16122, the Ti CC135x. This software allows for the use of a smartphone app to monitor and control sensors through the Thingsquare cloud/backend. A REST API is available as well. 
+
+A brief description of what is happening in the demo below:
+ * A Gateworks GW16122 is acting as the IoT Gateway on the Gateworks SBC
+  * The GW16122 exposes a few serial interfaces (/dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1) which are then used for the SLIP interface
+  * dnsmasq acts as a DNS server for the slip interface
+  * The sl0 uses PTP for the DNS
+  * The SLIP requires some routing and forwarding between interface sl0 and eth0
+  * The firmware on the GW16122 pushes data up to the Thingsquare cloud
+ * The CC1350 Sensor tag is reporting back to the Gateway and pushing it's information up to the cloud
+
+Hardware required as noted [#HardwareRequirements here]
+
+Steps:
+ 1. Flash the GW16122 and sensor nodes with Thingsquare Firmware located [https://www.thingsquare.com/docs/downloads/ here]
+  1. GW16122 Firmnware: CC1350 Launchpad Serial USB Access Point (US / 915 MHz)
+  1. Sensor Firmnware: CC1350 Sensortag
+ 1. Insert GW16122 into a Gateworks SBC Mini-PCIe slot that has USB support
+ 1. Load Gateworks SBC Ubuntu 16.04 Software 
+  1. Install Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 with the instructions [wiki:ventana/ubuntu#Ubuntu16.04LTSXenialXerusconsoleimage Ventana 16.04]
+  1. Confirm /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1 exist on the Gateworks SBC in software
+  1. Confirm an ethernet cable is connected to the Gateworks SBC connected to a LAN that has internet access via a WAN
+  1. Install dnsmasq{{{apt-get install dnsmasq}}}
+  1. Add the following lines to the end of the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file:
+{{{
+interface=sl0
+listen-address=127.0.0.1
+listen-address=172.16.0.1
+}}}
+  1. Create a script or add to /etc/rc.local to be ran after the board boots each time:
+{{{
+modprobe slip
+stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 115200
+sleep 3
+slattach -L -s 115200 -p slip /dev/ttyACM0 &
+
+sleep 10
+ifconfig sl0 172.16.0.1 dstaddr 172.16.0.2
+ifconfig sl0 mtu 600
+
+echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+
+iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
+iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o sl0 -j ACCEPT
+iptables -A FORWARD -i sl0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
+systemctl start dnsmasq.service
+}}}
+ 1. Utilize the Thingsquare website to connect both sensor and Gateway to cloud with the following instructions: [http://www.thingsquare.com/docs/get-started-with-starter-kit/]
+  1. Important Note: Checking the box 'Remote Access' is important to connect the device to the Thingsquare backend and available when logging into the app/browser with user account
+ 1. You can use the website [https://developer.thingsquare.com/web/] to access the devices from a PC browser. Create a Thingsquare account. 
+  1. Use the bottom menu icon, 'Nearby' to be sure you can discover the device on the LAN

+Troubleshooting:
+ 1. Verify traffic on sl0 interface with tcpdump
