This is because the CC135x chip is used on many designs. The GW16122 revision B and onwards uses the TI CC1352P chip. (GW16222 revision A used the CC1350 chip. ) The typical OS used is Ubuntu. Various different firmwares exist for the CC1352 chip, but the default loaded firmware is a slightly modified version of the !EasylinkNp firmware. This firmware is described in more detail on the software page listed below. For detailed software information , please go to [wiki:cc135x Gateworks CC135x wiki page]
