Introduction

This page introduces Advantech Edge Intelligence Server (EIS) for Internet of Things gateway solution.

EIS SW Solution

   This picture describes the EIS design concept, not all services are ready for to be released. The EIS Software Architecture classified into 5 categories layers. Each service is now implemented by its own microservice. Services use MQTT broker as the communication bus. All microservices would expose an API that’s consumed by other microservices or clients. At runtime, each instance is a Docker container. This makes it easier to deploy distinct experiences for specific users, devices, or specialized use cases. The customer can easily develop and deploy its own service in EIS SW architecture.

How to Guide

Delopy EIS Image to USB or HDD Disk

To check USB or HDD Disk name

sudo fdisk -l 

Deploy the image to USB flash drive . Note: The deploy process takes about 15 minutes.

sudo dd if=./EIS_V2.0.2_Ubuntu-14.04_3.19_20170220.img of=/dev/sdx bs=4M; sync

Boot for USB or HDD Disk

1. Insert the USB Flash / HDD Drive into the ARK-2121L
2. Boot up to the BIOS menu of your ARK-2121L by pressing ESC on the keyboard as it boots up.
3. Change the boot device to be the USB/HDD flash drive, then press F4 to save and exit
4. System should boot up using the USB Flash Drive.
5. Log in as user: adv  password: adv
6. The EIS Version 2 is ready to use.

Re-size EIS File System

#sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
 d -> 2      : delete partition 2
 n -> p -> 2 : 
 w           : write result
#reboot 
#resize2fs /dev/sdb2

Check and Upgrade the EIS Docker Service to latest version 

cd ~/Advantech/docker

./deploy.sh update

Development

WSN Simulator

Start and enter the WSN Simulator Docker Container bash 

$cd ~/Advantech /docker

$./deploy.sh wsn-sim.sh

You can design and edit your wsn type and senhub information. You can refer IoTGateway/Net HAL Simulator for detail information.

Start running the wsn-simulator. It will simulate WSN connectivity and senhub and send data to mqtt bus.

#./wisesim

Exit the container service

#exit

WSN Development Environment

Start and enter the WSN Development Docker Container bash 

$cd ~/Advantech /docker

$./deploy.sh wsn-dev.sh
