Zolertia Antares outdoor Gateway

The Antares Gateway is a complete 6LoWPAN base on Linux on Intel Edison embedded system providing the following features:

  • High-speed dual core processing unit
  • Integrated dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wifi* and Bluetooth* low energy
  • Yocto Linux* distribution
  • 3xUSB PORTS
  • RTC with Supercapacitor retention
  • External uSD storage

This devices has a Zolertia Firefly and provides next features:

  • direct USB Serial communication with Intel Edison
  • USB powered
  • ISM 2.4GHz IEE 802.15.4 & Zigbee compliant
  • ISM 868-, 915-, 920-, 950-MHz ISM/SRD Band
  • On-board printed PCB sub1GHz antenna, ceramic antenna for 2.4GHz interfaz. Alternatively u.Fl for external outdoor antenna

Power supply possibilities

The Antares Outdoor Gateway has a diferents inputs for a differents applications

  • 115-230VAC overcurrent and overvoltage protection and external switch
  • 7-20VDC over Jack 5.5mm or faston (recommended 12V)
  • PoE 802.3at for reduce wires
  • Include a battery charger, in case of blackout Edison detects and can provide this information to IoT cloud platform and umount correctly the devices if can be damage because of this problem.

230VAC connection:

Pin-out switch:

AC line Switch Antares
L 1 ---

N 4 JP13
--- 5 ---
Earth --- JP12

For quick view if the board is correct supplied have two status leds for both internal supply.

Supplied by 12V on VDC input: (White +12V, Black GND):


Communication with Intel Edison

Log over a console terminal or via SSH to Antares. To access over the Edison serial port, you will need a serial to USB converter, such as the CP210X USB 2.0 to TTL UART. For this proposal we use the CP2104 USB to UART bridge. Connect directly on JP10.
