GW-USB-03A
Description
GW-USB-03A is an IQRF gateway with USB connectivity. It is intended as an interface between IQRF network and PC.
It is a revised version of GW-USB-03 with completely redesigned hardware and the same functionality.
The user can realize specific functionality by software for internal TR module.
Applications
• IQRF – PC interface

• Diagnostic tool
• IQRF gateway
Key features
• PC connectivity via USB interface (2 classes)
• TR module and internal antenna
• TR module programming via USB and IQRF IDE
• Bidirectional RF communication
• High performance
• 8b microcontroller, bootloader for firmware upgrade
• 1 pushbutton, 1 LED RGB
• EEPROM memory
• Piezo buzzer
• Backup accumulator
• Very low power consumption in Sleep mode

GW-USB-03A
Hardware
The user can realize specific functionality by software for the TR module. Application for TR module inside can also be developed using the CK-USB-04 development kit. For detailed information refer to CK-USB-04 User's guide.
Power supply
GW-USB-03A is intended to be supplied via micro USB connector, either from PC or from the adapter. The accumulator serves just as a backup for external power source and should be charged from it.
Sleep mode
While supplied from the accumulator for more than 2 s, the GW is turned to power saving mode with all functions and peripherals switched off. Wake-up (normal operation) is reestablished just after reconnecting supply to USB connector. GW power is never completely switched off, the Sleep mode is used instead of this.
Reset
Reset can be invoked by the Reset USB Device command in CDC mode. Actual reset is executed ~5 s after the command is issued. This delay allows to disconnect USB communication on PC side in time. Reset indication see chapter Beeper.
USB
The device supports two USB modes:
•
Custom Device mode
Full communication with the IQRF IDE is enabled in this mode. The GW uses identical USB driver like e.g. CK-
USB-04. It is possible to upload the application into internal TR module, display data received from SPI interface of the TR in IQRF IDE Terminal etc. The user can easily create his own PC program using the mpusbapi.dll library.
See USB Custom Device Example on IQRF website.
•
CDC mode
After connecting to PC a virtual serial port is created in this mode. The user can create his own PC program and communicate via this port using the protocol described in document CDC implementation in IQRF platform .
Switching between the modes can be done by Pushbutton (see chapter Pushbutton) or by commands:
• From Custom Device to CDC:
Using IQRF IDE v2.08 or higher:
Help → Show IQRF USB Device Info → Switch to CDC mode.
• From CDC to Custom Device:
Using the Switch to USB Custom Class command in CDC protocol.
Current mode indication see chapter Beeper. The last selected mode is restored after start-up or reset.
Pushbutton
• USB mode switching
To switch between the USB modes, press and hold the pushbutton during wake-up from sleep for more than 1 s.
Sound indication: Custom Device – 1x beep, CDC – 3x beep.
•
•
Factory setup
Press and hold the pushbutton for more than 1 s after reset. Sound indication: 1x beep 2 s.
C5 pin control
Pin C5 of the TR module is held low and LED is on while the pushbutton is pressed and SPI communication is just not in progress. Similar to CK-USB-04 (S1, LED1).
LED
Red LED is on while the pushbutton is pressed.

EEPROM memory
Capacity 64 kb, serial interface SPI, shared with the TR module. Reserved for internal GW purpose.
TR module
The TR-52B wireless IQRF transceiver module, 868 MHz as well as 916 MHz, in SIM card format. Higher versions also supported.
Antenna
PCB antenna on GW board.
Case
The plastic case is limited to a very few number of open/close cycles only. User program can be uploaded into the
TR module without opening the case.
Software
Firmware for the MCU inside the GW is fixed but can be upgraded by the user using the code provided by IQRF manufacturer. Refer to IQRF Application note AN008 – Firmware upgrade for details.
TR module functionality is fully user programmable. Factory default is E03-TR (one of basic IQRF examples).
Programming and uploading the code is similar to CK-USB-04.
