     82=== Configure Gateworks board ===
     83
     84This procedure has been tested with both Newport and Ventana family of products.  Ubuntu Trusty and later has been verified to work with this test. Refer to [http://trac.gateworks.com/wiki/gettingstarted Getting Started] for instruction to install Ubuntu. In this particular example Bionic Ubuntu was installed on a Newport GW6304. 
     85
     86**On Gateworks SBC with Ubuntu installed:**
     87
     88Update Ubuntu:
     89{{{#!bash
    8390apt-get update
    84 apt-get install -y build-essential nodejs
    85 }}}
    86  
    87 
    88 === Getting Started Steps ===
    89 
    90 * Program CC1350 !LaunchPad Sensor node as described in software section above
    91 * Connect GW16122 to Gateworks SBC in Mini-PCIe slot that supports USB
    92 * Connect antenna to GW16122
    93 * Gateworks SBC should have Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty installed as required in the software section above
    94 * Connect ethernet cable to Gateworks SBC on the same network as a PC/Laptop (for web gui viewing from PC)
    95 * Install the collector application software on the Gateworks SBC as described above in the software requirements section
    96 
    97 ==== Running the Collector Application ====
    98 
    99 * To start the collector application, run the script on the Gateworks command line:
    100 {{{
    101 ./run_demo.sh
    102 }}}
    103 The output will look something like below:
    104 {{{

    122 
    123 }}}
    124 * Observe the IP address printed out in the script output
    125 
    126 * From a computer on the same network as the Gateworks board, open a web browser and type in the IP address including the port and observe the web gui shown below:
    127  * * '''IMPORTANT''' Click the grey button in the !WebGui on the left to open the network for new devices
    128  * [[Image(gw16122webgui.png,400px)]]
    129 * Power on the sensor node that should then connect to the collector.
    130  * NOTE: The sensor node has NV Ram that stores the last network it was connected to. This must be reset every time the run_demo.sh script is ran.
    131 * You can test the connection by clicking the 'Toggle LED' on the sensor node. This often takes 10 seconds to transmit and will affect LED D2 on the GW16122 if it is being used as a sensor.
    132 
    133 ==== Troubleshooting ====
    134 * Be sure any GW16122 boards have an antenna installed
    135 * Be sure the collector network is an open network so that the sensors can joined. By default, the network is closed and no sensors can join
    136 * Be sure that the Gateworks board and collector are all setup and turned on and the WebGUI is live with the run_demo script running on the Gateworks board. After this, then try re-programming the sensor firmware. This usually will force the sensor to re-join and search for new networks.
    137 * On the Gateworks board, you can try deleting the file in the extracted bin folder called nv-simulation.bin. This file will erase all previously connected sensor entries.
     91}}}
     92Transfer the TI 15.4 stack files to your Gateworks SBC using your method of choice:
     93{{{#!bash
     94# pull installation file from host pc (networked method)
     95wget http://remotehost/path/to/ti15-4.tar.gz
     96#scp is also viable
     97}}}
     98Extract the files:
     99{{{#!bash
     100tar xzvf ./ti15-4.tar.gz
     101# Optional delete the .tar.gz file
     102rm ti15-4.tar.gz
     103}}}
     104Install build-essential and nodejs packages:
     105{{{#!bash
     106apt-get install build-essential nodejs
     107}}}
     108Change directory to TI trunk, allow execute permission, and run build_all:
     109{{{#!bash
     110cd ~/ti/ti154stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04
     111chmod +x build_all.sh

     113}}}
     114Now make host_collector:
     115{{{#!bash
     116cd ~/ti/ti154stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04/example/collector 
     117make
     118#Optional verify host collector is correct architecture
     119file host_collector
     120}}}
     121Modem manager will conflict with the GW16122 and must be disabled.
     122{{{#!bash
     123#stop ModemManager
     124systemctl stop ModemManager
     125#disable ModemManager at boot
     126systemctl disable ModemManager
     127#mask ModemManager so it will surely not start, if this process runs host_collector will produce errors and not work.
     128systemctl mask ModemManager
     129}}}
     130**The Gateworks SBC is now configured, execute the command "sync" then remove power for next steps.**
     131{{{#!bash
     132sync #this ensures changes are written to MMC
     133}}}
     134
     135=== Configure GW16122 Sensor and Co-processor firmware ===
     136Launch Uniflash GUI with the following commands:
     137{{{#!bash
     138cd uniflash/uniflash_4.6.0/node-webkit

     162#Note this is a subdirectory of hexfiles
     163}}}
     1641. Be sure "All Unprotected Sectors" and "Erase entire flash" settings from step one are still selected, click "Load Image", when the message "[SUCCESS] Program Load completed successfully." is displayed and the flashing procedure is complete, disconnect the GW16122 from the desktop workstation USB. 
     165
     166=== Install GW16122 collector on SBC then launch webUI gateway  ===
     1671. Attach antenna to "SUB 1GHz" port of the GW16122 that is programmed with "co-processor" firmware, now install GW16122 on Gateworks SBC in a slot with USB signaling. 
     1681. Power the Gateworks SBC, verify GW16122 is present with lsusb.
     169 **Example:**
     170{{{#!bash
     171root@bionic-newport:~# lsusb

     2034.  Navigate to then launch the gateway, it will be silent and in the background:
     204{{{#!bash
     205cd ~/ti/ti154stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04/example/gateway/
     206nodejs gateway.js 1>/dev/null &
     207}}}
     208 * If this is successful you will see a PID. 
     209
     210
     2115.  Navigate to then launch host_collector:
     212{{{#!bash
     213cd ~/ti/ti154stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04/example/collector
     214./host_collector collector.cfg
     215}}}
     2166. Uppon running host_collector a file nv-simulation.bin is created, be sure to delete this file at the end of every session.  **It is critical this file is not present when launching host_collector.** 
     217{{{#!bash
     218rm nv-simulation.bin #if this file is present no errors will display but sub 1 GHz connection will not complete
     219}}}
     220=== Collector WebUI ===
     221Open Brouser on desktop workstation, navigate to the IP address of your Gateworks SBC (recorded in previous steps), append the port :1310 and enter this into the address bar.  Using the IP from the example the address bar will contain "http://172.24.24.193:1310/".  In the "Network Information" field click the "Open" button next to the text "Network close for New Devices", when sucessful this will change to "Network open for New Devices"
     222
     223=== Power ON sensor, final steps ===
     224Attach antenna to "SUB 1GHz" port of the GW16122 that will act as "Sensor". Connect the GW16122 "sensor" to the USB of your desktop workstation to power it on.  The sensor should connect imedately to the collector, this is indicated by the red LED D2 iluminating.  If this LED does not iluminate see "Troubleshooting" section.  Using the WebUI check that a "Sensor Node" is present.  Under "RSSI" click the "ToggleLED" box, this will cause LED D1 and D2 on the Collector to turn on brifly.  This is verification that all the steps have been followed correctly, and RSSI signals can be sent and recieved. 
     225
     226=== Troubleshooting ===
     227* Be sure GW16122 boards have an antenna installed
     228* Be sure the collector network is an open network so that the sensors can be joined. By default, the network is closed and no sensors can join
     229* Use "systemctl |grep running -i" or "systemctl |grep modem -i"  to verify !ModemManager is not running. 
     230* Be sure that the Gateworks board and collector are all setup and turned on and the WebGUI is live with the host_collector program running on the Gateworks board. After this, then try re-programming the sensor firmware, then powering it off and back on.
     231* On the Gateworks board nv-simulation.bin has been deleted. This file will erase all previously connected sensor entries.
     232* When flashing "Erase all unprotected sectors" and "Erase entire flash" have been selected.
