software. The guide includes steps that allow you to quickly begin using the kit. The example software lets you take measurements using various sensors and send the values to the AT&T M2X/Flow server. Commands, in the form of JSON strings, are sent back to the IoT Starter Kit from the cloud and instruct the device to control on-board components such as the user LED. The IoT Starter Kit consists of a hardware platform comprised of an NXP FRDM-K64F single- board computer (SBC) and an Avnet Arduino-compatible WNC Cellular modem shield mounted on top ...

includes all the components shown and described below: – AT&T IoT SIM Starter Pack – Quick Start Card – Downloadable example designs and tutorials – Forum support via: http://cloudconnectkits.org/forum/topic/att-cellular-iot-starter-kit Arduino compatible WNC-Shield NXP K64F MCU carrier board with Arduino™ R3 expansion slot 2 LTE antennas 2 USB cables AC power adapter to USB DC 5V ...

The NXP FRDM-K64F SBC is the host development and operational platform (the controller). The elements used by the IoT Kit are as follows: – MK64FN1M0VLL12 MCU (120 MHz, 1 MB flash memory, 256 KB RAM, USB) which is based on a Cortex M4 ARM processor core – RGB LED – The OpenSDAv2 debug circuit supporting the CMSIS-DAP Interface to allow programming and monitoring software – Serial port interface – I2C interface for communicating with off-board sensors – UART interface for communicating with the WNC-Shield card WNC-Shield Board Avnet has produced an Arduino Shield with a Wistron NeWeb Corporati ...

The NXP FRDM-K64F SBC uses the ARM mBed operating software and associated development tools. This allows all development to take place in a Web browser (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, or Explorer) and removes the need to install tools on your PC. Once installed on the Freedom board, the software uses various interfaces such as I2C, GPIOs, and UARTS. At power up, the software configures the hardware and initializes the WNC-Shield card which can take up to 60 seconds to complete. Cellular Shield WNC 14A2A Firmware Before assembling the kit or proceeding to the next steps, please ensure you are using the latest WNC 14A2A firmware. Instruct ...

documentation, bill of materials, and other information. Jasper Account for SIM Card You have a choice between purchasing a SIM Card or a complete hardware kit. Both choices come with a data plan and the connectivity API. You must also obtain a free IoT Developer Services account by registering at https://StarterKit.att.com. Once registered, the IoT Developer Services account provides 300 MB of data and 300 SMS messages. ...

The software associated with the IoT Kit is located on mbed.org. If you do not have an account, navigate to the mbed website (https://developer.mbed.org/) and follow the instructions to create an account. Once you have an account, you can download and modify the firmware for the kit. AT&T Flow and M2X Accounts To begin using the AT&T Flow and M2X accounts, you need to sign up for an AT&T IoT Services account. This is done by going to https://m2x.att.com/signup and creating an account. ...

and your M2X account (https://m2x.att.com ). The IoT Kit takes advantage of the fact Flow can create the necessary M2X device and streams. To learn how to set up a device manually, go to https://m2x.att.com/onboarding. Flow Account Flow can be entered by selecting Flow from the AT&T IoT Services account dropdown menu, as shown: Flow is a GUI-based IoT development tool based on NodeJS. It allows for data input and output along with user defined rules for up to 100,000 data points per month free of charge. Data flows through nodes from left to right ...

click the Log In button to log back in. Even when you have a fast connection, Flow is slow to respond. If you want to learn by creating your own Flow design from scratch, you can follow AT&T’s instructions that were created for a recent event at: https://att.app.box.com/s/15umqzirkrmgru2yl7utbp8x4jv0bgmg. For the IoT Kit, we start by copying a reference design and modifying it. Each Flow design is unique in terms of its endpoint addresses and account keys, so you need to edit these unique parameters. To duplicate an existing project, follow these ste ...

unique (e.g., Paul’s Starter Kit Dev). Then click the Fork button. 6. Once the project is Forked, click the Deploy button. This compiles and activates your project. This step takes a minute the first time. Subsequent deploy actions will be quicker. Now that the project is built and deployed, modifications to the WNC-Shield software must be made for it to work properly. These changes are detailed in the section on Compiling. M2X Account M2X is a time-series data store that is free for up to 10 devices. Navigate to https://m2x.att.com or acces ...

At this point, it is easiest to have two browser windows open (one for M2X and one for Flow) because the M2X master key must be pasted into the Flow Configuration Function. 1. In M2X, click the Hello power button on the top right and select Account Settings. 2. Highlight the Master Key and copy it to the clipboard. 3. Return to Flow in your other window/tab and find the Configuration function. Notice the graphical design has different tabs for each logical section. The Configuration function is on the Data tab. ...

previously copied into the location of the current M2X-Key field and click the OK button. It may take a while for the script to update. 5. At the bottom of the canvas (where the configuration bubble is located), click the Endpoints tab where the Base URL field is located. Click the Copy button. The copied information is used to update two fields: base_hostname and base_url. The Base URL is: https://run-west.att.io/1e464b19cdcde/774c88d68202/86694923d5bf28a/in/flow. The first part, run-west.att.io, is the base_hostname. The base_url is, above, ...

7. With the configuration updated, a blue dot appears on your function graphic. This indicates it has changed but has not been deployed. Click the Deploy button to resolve this. ...

be performed. In Flow, go to the Virtual Device tab of the canvas and find the Initialize component in the bottom left. Click once on the solid part to the left of Initialize. 9. You can verify the component has been created in the M2X environment by returning to your M2X window and clicking Devices. Your virtual device should appear. If you expand it by clicking the plus sign (+), you will see the different M2X streams that have been created for it. ...

The hardware is delivered as two separate boards. Use the following instructions to connect the boards. 1. Plug the Avnet Cellular shield onto the Arduino connectors on the FRDM-K64F board. 2. Plug the supplied AT&T SIM card into the SIM socket (X3) on the shield. 3. Screw the two antennas to the shield SMAs connectors (X1, X2). 4. The cellular shield requires 5V power supplied by the included AC/DC power adapter. It is not recommended to use a laptop USB port for this power source due to the limited power capabilities of most USB ports. Plug a microUSB cable into the 5V USB shield power (X5) on the Cellular ...

Verify the firmware is at version 0226 or higher by opening the DETAILS.TXT file located on the MBED drive. The following shows how this information is displayed. If the firmware is not at 0226 or higher, update it by following the instruction provided at: https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Firmware-FRDM-K64F. ...
