This is the Python code that runs on the gateway for the FIT IoT-LAB platform. It serves an API for starting, stopping experiments, flashing firmwares.
For a description of the hardware on which this code is usually run, see a General overview and Gateway Hardware. It can also be run on many hardware, including Raspberry Pi.
-
If you want to run this code on your own, we recommend you use the Docker-based procedure DOCKER.md
-
If you want to manually install all the dependencies, you should read INSTALL.md
Once the gateway API is running, it will be accessible on localhost:8080
and can be queried using curl, look at the directory tests_utils/curl_scripts for documented examples
- If you want to add support for a new custom open node, you should read DEVELOPER.md
This code is integrated into a Yocto image (see https://github.com/iot-lab/iot-lab-yocto) on which each gateway boots remotely. The configuration of the API (specifying what board is connected, etc) is done through a directory /var/local/config that is a NFS mount. Monitoring data (logs, radio & consumption monitoring) is written inside the /iotlab folder which is also a NFS mount
