Overview
Keysight U3800 Series IoT Applied Courseware is a ready-to-teach package that
covers the following:
1 IoT Fundamentals (U3801A, U3802A)
Introduces the fundamentals of IoT. Students who complete this course will
demonstrate the understanding of IoT's architecture, technologies, standards,
wireless protocols, applications, and ecosystems.
2 IoT Systems Design (U3803A, U3804A)
Introduces IoT system design techniques, leveraging embedded systems and
focusing on specific IoT examples. Students will learn how to design, develop,
and evaluate an IoT-enabled embedded system using industry-standard tools.
3 IoT Wireless Communications (U3805A, U3806A)
Allows students to develop typical IoT applications with various types of
wireless connectivity. Students will be able to perform quick verification and
design validation on these IoT applications.
4 IoT Sensors and Power Management (U3807A, U3808A)
Teaches students how to characterize the power consumption of the IoT
device’s on-board controller, sensors, and wireless modules. Students will
understand the principles of power management and will be able to
characterize micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices.
Each courseware comes with a training kit and teaching slides.
The training kit consists of the U3800A IoT Development Kit, IoT sensor device,
XBee ZigBee kit, lab sheets, and problem-based assignments. The U3800A IoT
Development Kit is a test accessory intended for students to carry out lab
experiments as defined in the courseware.
Students can also use the training kit to develop their own projects once they
have completed the courseware.

Button Functions
Button Name Function
Power Button (PWR BTN)
Use to change Intel Edison power mode.
1When the Intel Edison device is running, pressing and holding the power button
for 10 seconds or more will cause the Intel Edison compute module to power
down and leave the IO configuration in its current state.
2When the Intel Edison device is completely powered down, pressing and holding
the power button for three seconds will power up the device and boot up the Intel
Edison compute module.
3When the Intel Edison device is running, pressing and holding the power button
for about two to seven seconds will put the Intel Edison device into AP (access
point) mode. This action enables the “one-time setup” (same as configure_edison
--enableOneTimeSetup).
Reset Button (SYS RST)
Master Reset
1Press and hold for eight seconds:
Reset Intel Edison setting all the IO pins to high impedance state with no
pull-ups.
2Press and hold for four seconds:
Restart Intel Edison.
