Introduction
We are getting ready to release our new FG series of Controllers, starting with the EasyIOFG32 DDC
controller, product reference: EasyIO-FG-GC-32.
It is equipped with two 32- it Processors, the first in the Automation industry, with an ARM9 200
MHz Samsung processor, an ARM M3 Cortex for the I/O management and A-D processing, and also
with a Linux 2.6 OS for premium performance. Later in 2013 we will e adding Graphics capa ility to
serve up html templates that will e stored on the Micro SD card. BACnet and Mod us will also e
added in 2013. TCOM is availa le now and is encouraged for premium performance with Niagara.
•The Build ootloader can now e carried out remotely. No more manual service utton
needed is used.
•Firmware upgrading now can e done remotely and without any assistant.
•Firmware upgrading is via ftp client.
•In this user guide is just a pre-release internal use user guide.
Note: Information in this document is accurate at the time of documented. Actual information may
change/defer without notice.
This document in only intended for the eta testing process.

Connecting to FG32 Sedona DDC via Sedona workbench
In order to connect to the new EasyIO FG32 DDC, some files are needed. EasyIO FG32 has a different
sedona platform, files and kits. These kits are hardware dependent.
Follow the elow instructions efore connecting to the controller via Sedona Work ench.
Install platform files and kits files
Step 1
Get the required files from easyIO technical support at [email protected]
Step 2
Close the work ench.
Open sedona folder in the Niagara installation directory;

Troubleshoot
In order to make sure all the files are copied correctly into the directory, follow elow checklist to
verify all the files are in place.
Checklist point 1.
Platform file is in the platform folder.
Checklist point 2.

Changing IP address
By default the controller IP address is at 192.168.10.11.
Changing the IP address can only e done via sedona work ench at the moment.
Step 1
Login to the FG32 via sedona work ench. Locate the o ject “IP” under the sedona service folder.
Step 2
Go into the property sheet of the “IP” o ject.
Current IP address that is assign to
the controller
New IP address field. Keyin the
requires IP address in these fields.
Make sure the IP address and
su net is correct efore saving.
Step 3
Save the sedona apps and cycle power.
Step 4
Reconnect to the sedona via Sedona work ench with the new assigned IP address.

Restoring FG32 back to default apps
At the moment, there are 2 ways to restore the sedona apps for FG32 controller.
The first way is where you could still gain access to the controller via sedona work ench. By
manually selecting all the o jects and delete it. The “SAVE” action is needed.
Then a re oot or restart of the VM will erase all the o jects in the sedona apps.
The second way of restoring the FG32 ack to default apps is via ftp client software. This way can e
use as well if the FG32 sedona VM is not connecta le and the controller keep re ooting due to some
incompati le sedona apps loaded. When this happen, the watchdog will kick in and will not allow
the sedona VM to oot at all, hence a re ooting cycle will occur.
Note :
A easyIO 30P sedona apps CANNOT be loaded into the easyio FG32 as the sedona apps from a 30P
backup is hardware dependent. oing so will corrupt the FG32 sedona VM and the controller will
keep rebooting the sedona VM, hence the controller is not accessible via Sedona Workbench.
If the rebooting cycle occurs, the status LE will blinks for fast for a few times then light up steady for
approx 10 seconds.
If the a ove note happen, follow the elow steps to regain sedona connection. Below steps can e
use for restoring the FG32 to default apps as well.
Email to [email protected] to request for the FG32 default apps.

Step 1
Refer to page 8, jumpers settings locate the “watchdog jumpers settings”. Disa le the watchdog y
shorting pin 2 and 3.
If the watchdog is disa le, the device should e a le to run the ICMP command (Ping).
Skip step 1 and step 2 if the controller is not in re ooting cycle mode. Refer to a ove note for
re ooting cycle mode.
Step 2
Power off the controller and let it discharge for a out 5 seconds and power it up again. The
re ooting cycle will end. The controller will oot up and the status LED will link approx 2 links per
second with a short pause.
Step 3
Open any ftp client software, in this case “filezilla”.
Login details to FG32 uild in FTP server as elow;
IP address : this is the last IP address that the FG32 had. efault is at 192.168.10.11
Username : root
Password : 1234
Port : 21
Step 4
Unzipped the ackup file email y easyIO tech support.
Step 5
Transfer the app.sa and kit.scode in to the FG32 “mnt ” folder. MNT folder is at the root of the
FG32 directory.
Overwrite the existing files in the FG32.

Step 6
After transfer is successful, cycle power of the controller and re-ena le the watchdog jumpers(refer
page 8).
Step 7
Connect to the FG32 via sedona work ench. If a ove steps done correctly, sedona work ench
connection will e good.
