2. System overview

2.1. SmartMesh IP™ Technology overview

Image 1 Mesh network

A SmartMesh IP™ network consists of a highly scalable self-forming multi-hop mesh of wireless nodes, known as motes, and an Access Point mote that connects the motes to the Network Manager, monitoring and managing network performance and security, and acting as a bridge between the host application and the wireless network. Motes are capable of two way communication and they collect and relay data.

2.2. Dusty in a SmartMesh IP™ network

With SmartMesh IP™ time-synchronized networks, all motes in the network may route, source or terminate data, while providing many years of battery powered operation. SmartMesh IP™ is a highly flexible network with proven reliability and low power performance in an easy-to-integrate platform.

The Dusty’s behavior in a SmartMesh IP™ network is determined by the choice of SmartMesh IP™ network software loaded: Wireless Mote, Embedded Manager, or Access Point Mote.

The SmartMesh IP™ software provided with the Dusty is fully tested and validated, and is readily configured via a software Application Programming Interface.

4. Usage

This chapter describes how to connect, configure and interact with the Dusty module.

4.1. Power supply

Dusty is powered from a single pin, VSUPPLY, which powers the I/O cells and is also used to generate internal supplies. Eterna®’s two on-chip DC/DC converters minimize energy consumption while the device is awake. To conserve power the DC/DC converters are disabled when the device is in low-power state. Integrated power supply conditioning, including the two integrated DC/DC converters and three integrated low-dropout regulators, provides excellent rejection of supply noise. Eterna®’s operating supply voltage range is high enough to support direct connection to lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) sources and wide enough to support battery operation over a broad temperature range.

5.1. Dusty PCB-Ant mounting suggestion

The Dusty PCB-Ant provides an integrated PCB Antenna, therefore it is really important that the module is mounted on the hosting board in the proper way. No other components should be mounted around the antenna.

The following picture provides an example of how the module should be mounted on a hosting board.

Note how the antenna juts out of the hosting board.

6. Firmware Upload

Dusty’s behavior in a SmartMesh IP™ network is determined by the choice of SmartMesh IP™ network Firmware loaded:

• Wireless Mote

• Emanager

• Access Point Mote.

By default Dusty will have the Wireless Mote firmware preloaded with some predefined characteristics.

If the user wants to change the firmware or change some parameters it is necessary to upload the firmware. The firmware can be downloaded from:

https://www.linear.com/mylinear/login.php

In order to download the firmware, the customer must sign in and ask the local sales team the firmware. They’ll post the file to be downloaded from the Mylinear web site and uploaded to Dusty.

The firmware upload requires the following tools:

 Firmware to be uploaded  Eterna® DC9010 Serial Programmer  Dusty connector used to connect the module to the Eterna® Serial

Programmer

 PC running Windows and USB 2.0 or USB 3.02 port  ESP software (downloadable from

http://www.linear.com/dust_programmer)

Image 7 Required tools to upload firmware

Document DUSTY – User’s Guide

13/07/2017

Doc: DUSTY User’s Guide, Rev 1.4 16 of 19

For the detailed procedure and more detailed information see the following document:http://www.linear.com/docs/en/software-and-

simulation/Eterna_Serial_Programmer_Guide.pdf

7. Software Development

The ARM Cortex-M3 32-bit microprocessor, inside the LTC®5800-IPM SoC, normally runs the provided SmartMesh IP™ network software, but it can be customized and allows the user to develop their own software and add functionality to the module.

The On-Chip Software Development Kit (OCSDK) allows you to write applications directly on the LTC5800-IP SoC on top of the SmartMesh IP™ network protocol stack.

The SmartMesh IP™ stack and the device drivers are provided as pre-compiled libraries. Your mote application links against them, and can then be loaded into the Dusty board.

In order to develop a custom firmware to be uploaded to the Dusty module, the following tools are necessary:

• A Windows PC

• IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM. Note that the kickstart addition

will not work with the OCSDK

• On-Chip Software Development Kit (OCSDK) downloadable from

Github (https://github.com/dustcloud/onchipsdk)

• Library files from Linear to be copied into the OCSDK

• Python installed on the PC

• Programming and debugging tools (optional)

All the details and instructions about the development of custom firmware for the LTC5800-IPM SoC embedded in the Dusty module may be found at the following link: https://dustcloud.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OCSDK/

9. FCC Statement:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note: Modifications to this product will void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
