1.0 BOARD REFERENCE

Check the datasheet for details

2.0 FIRST STEPS

2.1 Hardware required

  • KitraGTI board
  • 12V/24V power supply
  • 1 micro-usb cable
  • 1 PC
  • Wi-Fi access point with internet connection

2.2 Software required

Windows:

Linux (Ubuntu):

2.3 First setup

Simply connect

  • BLACK to pin #4 (GND).
  • WHITE to pin #3 (TX of ARTIK and RX of USB converter).
  • GREEN to pin #2 (RX of ARTIK and TX of USB converter).

debug

  • Open the serial terminal on the PC and select the COM port of the device.

    Windows:

    Control Panel->Device Manager

    Select Serial COMX in Tera Term with baudrate set to 115200.

    Linux:

    dmesg | grep tty

    screen /dev/ttyUSBX 115200

  • Turn on the power supply (12V/24V)

    For more information on how to supply the board check the datasheet)

  • The board will turn on automatically

When you seen the following in the serial port:

That means the flashing has finished.

If you are using an HDMI monitor, you won't see anything, just wait 10 minutes.

  • Unplug the power supply

  • Set the all BOOT switch pins to OFF

    switch

  • Turn on the board

User and password are root by default.

3.0 COMMUNICATE WITH ARTIK

3.1 Connect to WiFi

Image version < 1.1 use connman as default connection manager. The lastest use NetworkManager.

NetworkManager

Check the following commands: LINK

connman

Connect to your Wi-Fi network:

Using connection manager:

Run: connmanctl

You will get a new '>' prompt.

>scan wifi
>agent on
>services
>connect wifi_xxxx
>quit

Once the Wi-Fi is configured, you can connect with ssh from your PC. You can check your ip address with:

ifconfig wlan0

If you need to set a static ip:

connmanctl config wifi_xxxx --ipv4 manual <ip> <subnet> <gateway>
connmanctl config wifi_xxxx --nameservers 8.8.8.8

At next reboot the board will connect to the network by itself.

Manual configuration:

Do not do this if you already connected with a connection manager.

systemctl stop connman
systemctl disable connman
systemctl enable wpa_supplicant
wpa_passphrase <SSID> <PASSWD> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
systemctl restart wpa_supplicant
# wait some seconds
iwconfig # check if <SSID> was joined
dhclient wlan0 #Get valid ip address

At next reboot you will only need to run dhclient wlan0.

3.2 Bring Artik up-to-date

$ apt-key add /var/lib/apt/keyrings/artik-platform-keyring.gpg

$ echo "deb http://repo.artik.cloud/artik/bin/pub/artik/ubuntu xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/artik-e2e-sources.list

$ apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 55955AEB

$ apt update
