    3235The default is a star-based topology system where there is one central collector (The GW16122 on a Gateworks SBC) that listens to all the sensors / nodes that are around it.

    38 Support for 50 nodes in network is for the MAC-CoProcessor configuration, where the network employs full MAC level security (AES-128).
     41* Support for 50 nodes in network is for the MAC-!CoProcessor configuration, where the network employs full MAC level security (AES-128).
    3942The Security table can take up all available RAM considering 500 bytes packets so some trade off are possible if the max packet size that must be supported by the application is smaller and the network size can go bigger (probably not reach 1K nodes). The network can scale up to much more nodes if for instance the security is removed at MAC level and deployed at application level (the code is hosted on Linux). The actual network size would be in that case more limited by the traffic profile (ie how frequently data is exchanged).

    140157
    141 TI-RTOS RF driver
    142 
    143 The RF core has a dedicated driver called the TI-RTOS RF driver, which is used for all interaction with the RF core. If you do not wish to use the EasyLink abstraction layer, there is also the option to do simple packet RX/TX using the TI-RTOS RF driver directly.

    188 
    189 The serial command API for the CC1350 is implemented in the form of standard AT+ commands that correlate to EasyLink API functions. This serial control method there has an example project provided by the TI resource center. The web page can be found ​here.
    190 
    191 You can easily test the AT to Easylink api commands by using two GW16122/SensorTag devices running the rfEasyLinkNp and the rfEasyLinkRx examples.

    293 Make sure the GW16122 is properly into the miniPcie->USB adapter board otherwise it will come up as a usb device but fail to be recognized by the code composer software. You can check if its connected properly by opening the .ccxml file under the projects targetConfigs folder and hitting the "test connection" button. If multiple boards are connected at once you will need to specify them by serial number.
    294 The US frequency allows for a total of 129 channels to choose from, defined in CONFIG_CHANNEL_MASK
    295 You can prevent conflicts of sensor networks by either limiting the channels enabled on each collector/sensor, or by setting the PAN-ID to match on the devices belonging to each network.
    296 Beware of adding too many channels to your channel mask, for example, adding all of them took well over 20 minutes to complete the channel selection cycle and bring up the network.

    301 In the event of an unprogrammed or corrupted TiVa MCU, you can flash firmware via USB connection. For the GW16122 this is done via a mini-PCIe to USB converter such as our GW16115.

    304 
    305 Since the TiVa MCU functions as an XDS110 debug probe for the GW16122, you can use the default firmware included in the Code Composer Studio installation directory.

    345401The CC1350 of the GW16122 can be programmed a number of ways depending on your host machine. Gateworks has tested both Windows (SmartRF Flash Programmer) and Linux (Uniflash) tools but specific instructions will be provided from the Linux perspective.

    348404
    349405The Uniflash tool is linux compatible and has both a gui and command line interface. The gui program has an autodetect feature and is somewhat easier to use but the command line tool has the same functionality and is better suited for repeated tasks with constant configurations.
    350406
    351 Note that there doesn't appear to be a way to update the firmware on a running ARM based target. All of the methods we used to program the TiVa and CC1350 MCU's from a x86 host are not compatible with an ARM based system. This means that users will not be able to update firmware on running boards.
    352 GUI Approach
    353 
    354 Connect a single GW16122 to the host machine via mini-PCIe to USB adapter.
    355 Open the "Uniflash" application through a gui file manager from the uniflash_4.2 install directory, or via command line:
     407* Note that there doesn't appear to be a way to update the firmware on a running ARM based target. All of the methods we used to program the !TiVa and CC1350 MCU's from a x86 host are not compatible with an ARM based system. This means that users will not be able to update firmware on running boards.

     409=== GUI Approach ===
     410
     4111. Connect a single GW16122 to the host machine via mini-PCIe to USB adapter.
     4121. Open the "Uniflash" application through a gui file manager from the uniflash_4.2 install directory, or via command line:
     413{{{#!bash
    356414./uniflash_4.2/node-webkit/nw
    357 Select target device of CC1350F128
    358 Select connection of Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe
    359 Click the "Start" button
    360 In the Program tab, select the firmware file you wish to load. This is typically a .out file created via a Code Composer Studio Project and can be found in your workspace directory (default ~/workspace_v7/)
    361 Click the "Load Image" and "Verify Image" buttons and see the text console output on the bottom of the window for a green success message
     415}}}
     4161. Select target device of CC1350F128
     4171. Select connection of Texas Instruments XDS110 USB Debug Probe
     4181. Click the "Start" button
     419In the Program tab, select the firmware file you wish to load. This is typically a .out file created via a Code Composer Studio Project and can be found in your workspace directory (default {{{~/workspace_v7/}}})
     4201. Click the "Load Image" and "Verify Image" buttons and see the text console output on the bottom of the window for a green success message
     421
    362422It should also be mentioned that you can program your GW16122 directly from the Code Composer Studio IDE by creating a proper target configuration and then selecting "Debug". Most of the TI example projects will detail this procedure.
    363423
    364424At this point you may want to power cycle your device.

    368 Navigate to your uniflash install directory
     426=== Command Line Approach ===
     427
     4281. Navigate to your uniflash install directory
     429{{{#!bash

    370 Run the installer providing a configuration and .out file as arguments, for example:
