SuperGateway_for_MA35D0

This project is IoT reference gateway using Nuvoton's MA35D0(NuMaker-IoT-MA35D0) board and Rafael's EZMesh dongle(Rafael Multi-protocol RCP) based on OpenWrt. EZMesh supports Bluetooth LE 5.3, Thread 1.3, Zigbee 3.0, and Rafael's Sub-G.

In the Ubuntu system, open the Terminal application and type the following commands:

1. Download SuperGateway source codes:

   git clone https://github.com/Super-Thomas/SuperGateway_for_MA35D0.git
   cd SuperGateway_for_MA35D0
   

2. Setup build system and load the defult config for building :

   bash scripts/bootstrap
   

3. Now, you can build the firmware :

   bash scripts/build_image -j4 V=s
   

4. After the build process completes, you can find openwrt-ma35d0-iot-256m-sdcard0-pack.bin file in openwrt/bin/targets/ma35d0/iot/ directory.

You can check the network configuration in the build/file/etc/network file.

config interface 'loopback'
        option device 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config globals 'globals'
        option ula_prefix 'fda9:57ec:f637::/48'

config device
        option name 'br-lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        list ports  'eth1'

config interface 'lan'
        option device 'br-lan'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '10.10.10.1'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ip6assign '60'

config interface 'wan'
        option proto 'static'
        option device 'eth0'
        option ipaddr '192.68.20.113'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option gateway '192.68.20.1'
        list dns '8.8.8.8'
        list dns '8.8.4.4'

Please modify the configure options of interface 'wan' for your Internet environment.
Unfortunately, the MA35D0 board doesn't have hardware Wi-Fi. so you need to connect it to PC with wired connection via eth1 port. Interface 'lan' can connect and communicate with 10.10.10.1 via port eth1.

You should be modify the UART port of ezMesh.
Connect VCOM of MA35D0 board to UART on PC.
Baudrate: 115200 bps / Data: 8-bit / Parity: None / Stop bits: 1 bit / Flow control: None
Then you can press Enter to enter the command.

Open the /usr/etc/ez_config.ini file with the vi command.

vi /usr/etc/ez_config.ini

Change the port in /usr/etc/ez_config.ini to /dev/ttyS10.
After saving and rebooting like this, you can communicate with EzMesh dongle through UART10 of MA35D0.

1. Enter commands below via UART to the MA35D0 after booting.

bluetoothctl

2. Search for peripheral devices by entering the 'scan le' command.

scan le

1. Enter commands below via UART to the MA35D0 after booting.

mkdir -p /usr/local/var/lib/ezmesh-zbgw/zbdb
ezmesh-zbgw &

2. Then you can establish a TCP connection to <eth1_IP>:10010(for example, 10.10.10.1:10010) to send/recv cmds.
