RIIoT network
The RIIoT network consists of some key elements
- The RC1880-SPR module
oThe module that can be programmed with user application through the SPR Software
Development Kit (SDK)
- The SPR SDK
oSoftware development kit with Application framework and tool for building and uploading end
application to the RC1880-SPR module
- The RC1880-GPR module for use in the gateway/concentrator
oSupport the concentrator of the gateway. Normally connected to a Linux gateway, but can
also be controlled by MCU through a UART protocol
- The RIIoT Net Controller Linux middleware
oA middleware SW that can be used on a Linux gateway. Interfaces the RC1880-GPR module
and supply user application a socket interface for controlling and sending/receiving data
through the wireless network.
Below is an illustration of the different element and the documentation available

Development Kit Introduction
The Development Kit (DK) is designed to make it easy for the user to evaluate the RIIoT network and to run
preloaded application or to make a user specific application with minimal time and effort.
This document covers the following kits.
Your Development Kit contains the following items:

This User Manual describes how to use the Development Kit and provides detailed documentation for the Sensor
board and Development board
The development board is connected to the gateway through USB. Your gateway may be an embedded
system or a Linux mini-computer. But for the purpose of demonstrating a quick setup, this guide will use a PC
as the gateway.

Quick Start
When setting up the development kit, the main task is setting up the gateway. With the development kit the
quickest way to do this is to use a PC as the gateway and use the RIIoT Net Controller on Linux-PC or Linux
on a VirtualBox.
- Setup RIIoT Net Controller on the PC(gateway) RIIoT Net Controller Quick Start
- Start the example client application for the development kit. (details in above mentioned Quick start)
Once the RIIoT Net Controller is up and running, the Sensor boards can be powered up through USB and the
joining information and temperature/humidity readings will automatically start to appear on the gateway.
- Power up the 2 sensors board (demo application is pre-loaded out-of-box)
oApplication auto joins the network
oApplication read the on board SHT35 sensor and report humidity and temperature every 10
seconds.
oSee data being reported on the PC/gateway
The RIIoT network is now up and running.
Further development
Start making your own custom application
oRead a different sensor
oUse other channels or output power level
oAdd new timer events
oMake events based on button
oMake smart solution by adding intelligence processing on SPR module
oSend downlink messages from gateway to end node
oEvaluate range and different data rates.
The possibilities are infinite. Details for making your own application can be found in SPR SDK Quick Start,
User Manual and API reference.

I/O connection
All pins to the module are available through standard pin rows using a pitch distance of 100 mil (2.54 mm).
These pins are connected to 4 x 10 pins holes named P4 to P7. The table below gives an overview of the
edge connectors and their logical signals. Details on the RC188x pinning can be found in [7].
