IoT Gateway Kit Getting Started
Introduction
The NXP ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) Gateway enables the control of wireless nodes in
a WPAN from IP-connected devices in a LAN or WAN (e.g. smart phones, tablets
and laptops). It is used with a conventional IP router (which acts as a DHCP server)
to provide an interface between the LAN/WAN and WPAN domains. The gateway is
designed around the NXP LPC3240 microcontroller and NXP JN5168 wireless
microcontroller. The LPC3240 device provides a Linux-capable processing platform
for the LAN/WAN interface. The JN5168 device provides the processing platform for
the WPAN interface as well as 2.4GHz radio communication with the WPAN.

Using the IoT Gateway
The IoT Gateway is supplied pre-programmed with the JenNet-IP Border-Router
software, which is described in the
Border-Router Application Note (JN-AN-1110)
available from the NXP Wireless Connectivity TechZone (web address over-page).
This allows the gateway to be used with the JenNet-IP Smart Home Demonstration
that is pre-programmed into the components of the NXP JN516x-EK001 Evaluation
Kit. This kit and demonstration are fully described in the
JN516x-EK001 Evaluation
Kit User Guide (JN-UG-3093)
, also available from the TechZone.
