Sierra Wireless Device to Cloud platform will provide solution for end to end IoT applications.
The document below is in the following format:
The platform includes the following components:
a. mangOH Green open hardware platform: mangOH Green is an open hardware reference design purpose built for cellular connectivity.
Smart WP module forms the core of the mangOH platform . It incorporates a telecom core that will provide 2G to 4G connectivity as well as a GNSS connection. It also has an application core with multiple interfaces like SPI,I2C,SDIO, HSIC, UART, USB. These interfaces allows developers to connect Wireless, Wired and sensor technologies. The present gen WP application core has a cortex A5 at 550MHz and 2Gb NAND and 1Gb RAM reserved for application development
mangOH allows you to use existing open hardware Arduino compatible shields. There is an Arduino compatible connector that allows any Arduino shields to be plugged on top of the mangoh.There is an onboard ATMega32u4 chipset directly talking to the WP module.We have a prebuilt legato bridge application allowing seamless connection between the Arduino shield and WP module. We have a two way data exchange between the Arduino shield and anyother application connected to the mangoh. We also provide a couple of additional APIs that allow you to push the data to the cloud. For the Hackathon, the Arduino Legato app (called Arduino Bridge) talks to the ATmega chipset and takes care of the bringing data from arduino sensors into the WP module
b. Legato Open Source Embedded Linux Framework: An open source Linux-based embedded platform designed to simplify connected IoT application development. Using Legato Framework developers with limited hardware, wireless, embedded or cloud expertise can build applications easily.
There are essentially 3 parts to Legato.
We start with command-line tools that help you:
We then add an Eclipse-based IDE, which supports most of the features offered by the command-line tools, and adds graphical tools for
c. Air Vantage cloud platform: AirVantage lets you capture and exploit data from any device deployed in the field, opening many new possibilities for your business processes, service applications, and revenue streams.
d. Sierra Wireless Smart SIM: The Sierra Wireless Smart SIM is specifically designed for mission critical mobile and fixed IoT use cases.
More information on mangOH/Legato/AV can be found at:
Connectivity for the hackathon is provided by the following :
WiFi/BT IoT Expander Card
The APIs we will provide for building various IoT use cases include (but not limited to):
Legato API
AirVantage API:
API to connect AirVantage to enterprise software (https://doc.airvantage.net/av/howto/gettingstarted/)
The IoT application will take input from various Bluetooth or Grove Studio sensors and provide actuator functions as needed . Bluetooth data collection is done by on board Bluetooth IoT expander card.
The sensors kit for the hackathon includes the following sensors:
The platform architecture for the hackathon will involve the following applications :
Sensors used in Hackathon and potential use cases
Sensor | Attached to | Detection | Some Use cases |
Dust | mangOH direct only | Particle detection. Reading is ppm | smart city, health for air quality |
Oxygen sensor | mangOH direct only | Exact value of Oxygen in the air. Reading is percentage | smart city, health for air quality |
Noise | mangOH direct only | Monitor noise pollution from traffic, industry, construction. Reading is analog value | smart city, health for sound pollution |
Light | mangOH direct & via Sensor Tag | Measure light as analog reading (direct attach to mangoh) or Lux (BT sensor) | Smart City (Dimm or turn on lights when no is there, save cost ) |
Accelerometer | Sensor Tag only | 3 axis acceleration detection in g | Smart vehicle (accident, speed, container shipment) for smart city, Smart health for accident |
Gyrocscope | Sensor Tag only | Used for angular measurements. deg/s | Smart vehicle (accident, speed) for smart city, Smart health for accident |
Barometer | Sensor Tag only | For height detection. Value is in hectopascal | Smart vehicle (dead reckong applications etc.), weather Smart health for wearables/ weather etc. |
Humidity | mangOH direct & via Sensor Tag | Humidity measurement in % | Smart city & smart health environmental |
Object temperature | Sensor Tag only | Infra Red Temperature measurement in C | Smart city infra red temperature monitoring |
Water | mangOH direct | Water presence. Reading is boolean | Smart city water management |
Ambient temperature | mangOH direct & via Sensor Tag | Temperature measurement in C | Smart city & smart health environmental |
Digital Microphone -> actuated | Sensor Tag only | Actuation of alert via sound | Smart city , smart health alarm |
LEDs -> actuated | Sensor Tag only | Actuation of alert via light | Smart city , smart health alarm |
Using the Hackathon Platform
There is an incompatibility between NetworkManager in Ubuntu 16.04 and the ECM interface on the mangOH Green. In order to bring up the interface, run the command sudo ifconfig enx1e1e131e3b4a up 192.168.2.3
Sierra will provide 16 completely assembled kits with the following:
Each individual mangOH platform will be preassembled for you:
