1. Introduction

This Quick Start Guide explains the basics: how to connect and set up your target on the network; how to install the SDK; and how to build the firmware images.   

The Linux Software Developer's Kit (SDK) is an embedded hardware and software suite that enables Linux developers to create applications on Dusun's DSGW-030 gateway.

2. Gateway Information

2.1 Basic information

Supply: DC-5V

ZigBee: EFR32MG1B232F256G

Z-Wave: ZGM130S037HGN

Bluetooth: ERF32BG21

RAM: DDR2 128MB

NAND Flash: 16MB

2.2 Interface

3. Target Setup

This section describes how to connect the gateway into your host computer and network.   

3.1 Connecting a gateway - Power   

3.1.1 Make sure that the power adapter is 5V/2A.   

3.1.2 Select the appropriate power plug adaptor for your geographical location. Insert it into the slot on the Universal Power Supply; then plug the power supply into an outlet.   

3.1.3 Connect the output plug of the power supply to the gateway

3.2 Connecting a gateway – LAN port   

Connect gateway to a router for loging

Figure3-1. Connecting a gateway via Ethernet port

4. UART connection to gateway   

Before you set up your development test bed, please connect the PCB serial port to your develop PC via USB-to-serial bridge.

PCB serial port on Gateway

USB-to-serial bridge.

Serial port setting:   

Baud rate: 57600

Bits: 8

Stop Bits: 1

Hardware flow control: None

5. Compile the Environment to Build

5.1 OpenWrt Version

Take OpenwWRT19.07 as an example

5.2 PC Compile the Environment to Build

Compilation environment: ubuntu Linux

Openwrt's compilation tool is automatically generated by SDK built, no additional installation is required

5.3 OpenWrt configuration and compilation

Get the source code from Dusun FTP server or github and uncompress it under your work directory.

Github link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git

Checkout to correct branch after clone, take OpenWRT19.07 as an example, git checkout openwrt-19.07 git branch –a

4.3.1 DTS file

About DTS file for connecting to Dusun gateway’s   hardware, please download in Dusun FTP server.

Then move it to the right directory mv DSI0177.dts target/linux/ramips/dts/

   c) Add the component in file vi target/linux/ramips/image/mt76x8.mk

4.3.2 Configure compilation options

a) Configure compilation options

There is already a default configuration in the SDK, which satisfies the basic functions of routing. Customers could also customize the configuration according to their own needs.

Command:   

cd <work_dir>/openwrt/ make menuconfig

Choose system (MediaTek Ralink MIPS)   

Select Subtarget MT76x8 based boards

Choose target profile DSI0177

If user want to change kernel configuration

make kernel_menuconfig

b) Change network configuration

i.   Change LAN configuration to avoid the conflict   vi package/base-files/files/bin/config_generate

In line 104， change the IP to 192.168.66.1   

ii. Change WAN configuration

vi target/linux/ramips/base-files/etc/board.d/02_network

In line 489, set the interface name to wlan0 and eth0,

iii. Close the firewall to enable ssh log in vi package/base-files/files/etc/init.d/boot

In line 53, add the code in following picture to disable Firewall,

c) Compile the image

Just use command 'make V=16', the image built will take a long time.

The target image will be under   ./openwrt/bin/targets/ramips/mt76x8/

Image used for update is openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-DSI0177-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

d) Flash firmware to gateway following section 11 System firmware upgrade Then log in gateway using ssh,

6. Openwrt restore to factory setting

Command: umount   /dev/mtdblock6; firstboot

Press 'y' to confirm and then reboot system.

7. Openwrt Add kernel patches

The tool Quilt can be used to add patches.

For detailed steps to add patch to the linux kernel, please follow the guide of tool.

8. Change partitions in the system

User can edit file in vi ./ target/linux/ramips/dts/DSI0177.dts   to change partitions in the system.

9. Add APP component in Openwrt

Take openwrt-sdk/package/dusun/lib_dusun as an example,   

If user want to add a new user lever application into openwrt SDK, just follow the example.

After code is ready, you still need to add it to config file by "make menuconfig", and select

Dusun

Select libdusun package,

Exit and save config, 'make V=99' again, you can get the image with libdusun

10. uboot build and upgrade

1. uboot configuration and build

On development PC:

cd Uboot make

You get uboot.img

2. uboot upgrade

Setup tftp server on the development PC, and put uboot.img under tftp root directory.

Make sure connect the board to PC via serial port, reset board and press '9' when current uboot is booting up. Follow the steps in the console:

The uboot.img will be downloaded to the board and upgraded, then automatically reset to boot new uboot:

11. Communication between zigbee module   

    User can obtained the zigbee module’s NCP program in simplicity studio, the module number is EFR32MG1B232F256G

For detailed information to flash image to the zigbee module, please refer to document

ZIGBEE MODULE FLASH FIRMWAREv1.0

For SDK to develop program in gateway, please refer to document API Reference for

EmberZNet PC Host

It can be found in the ss5’s directory of

C:\SiliconLabs\SimplicityStudio\v4_3\developer\sdks\gecko_sdk_suite\v2.7\protocol\zigb ee\documentation

12. System firmware upgrade

a) Using sysupgrade in gateway   

scp user@serverip:~/openwrt-ramips-mt7688-mt7688-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin   

/tmp/

sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ramips-mt7688-mt7688-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin b) Using LUCI web server in gateway

c) Using Uboot method

Please refer to document update gateway using uboot.pdf
