+= Avnet !IoTConnect Cloud Solution with Gateworks SBC
+
+The Internet of Things is revolutionizing the way the world works by having nearly any and every device connected to the internet for control and monitoring. 
+
+Avnet, a large US distributor of electronics has created an IoT Cloud Software Platform based on the Microsoft Azure framework. This allows for devices, such as a [https://www.gateworks.com/products/ Gateworks Single Board Computer], to send data to the cloud for analysis, alerts, storage and more. Typical data comes from sensors, such as temperature, humidity, vibration, GPS location. These sensors can be connected over many different interfaces, such as I2C, SPI, RS485, RS232, ADC, and BLE. Gateworks offers many ways to connect to the cloud, including, but not limited to, Cellular, !WiFi, Satellite Modem and Ethernet.
+
+Gateworks has created a simple demo in which the onboard temperature sensor is probed and the data is sent using the Avnet IoT SDK in Python to the cloud over MQTT. 
+
+Gateworks is a manufacture of single board computers and Avnet provides the cloud and optional software services.

+
+== Requirements 
+ * Avnet IoTConnect Trial or Full Account (contact Gateworks support)
+ * [https://www.gateworks.com/products/ Gateworks Single Board Computer] (Ventana GW5220 was used for demo)
+  * Ubuntu Bionic Operating System (although other OS's could work, they have not been tested)
+  * Software packages in software requirements below
+  
+
+=== Software Requirements
+ * Python packages on the Gateworks SBC
+  * 
+{{{
+#!bash
+apt-get update
+apt-get install python2.7 python3.7 python-paho-mqtt python3-paho-mqtt python-pip python3-pip
+}}}
+ * Avnet Python IoT SDK
+  * Download using wget or transfer to the Gateworks SBC
+   * [https://help.iotconnect.io/documentation/sdk-reference/device-sdks-flavors/download-python-sdk/ Python SDK with Symantec and X.509 Auth Support]
+   * Note NodeJS SDK is also available
+  * Unzip archive (may require apt-get install unzip utility)
+  * Install archive on Gateworks SBC
+   * 
+{{{
+#!bash
+cd iotconnect-sdk/
+pip install iotconnect-sdk-2.0.tar.gz
+}}}
+
+
+== Getting Started
+ * Access the Avnet  IoT Dashboard here: 
+  * [https://avnet.iotconnect.io/dashboard]
+ * Setup a template and device on the Avnet Platform with instructions here:
+  * deviceID used for demo is gateworks1 
+  * [https://help.iotconnect.io/knowledgebase/on-boarding-raspberry-pi/] 
+ * Edit the demo python script (iotconnect/sample/gateworks.py)
+  * Three pieces of required data to be modified in the demo code using something like the 'vi' editor:
+   * CPID is the company ID, a special key found on the Avnet IoT Dashboard under Settings -> Company Profile
+   * DeviceID (Unique ID) is the device id. gateworks1 was used for the demo.
+   * Environment should be set as AVNETPOC
+ * Run the Python script from the Gateworks SBC command line:
+  * 
+{{{
