Overview
The DynaGATE 10-14 is a E-Mark certified Edge Gateway for Public Transport and Road Vehicles that enables a fast transition to ITxPT both in existing and new deployments.
Fully compliant with the ITxPT installation requirements, the DynaGATE 10-14 also provides legacy interfaces (e.g., serial RS-232/485/422) to support the integration in fleets that are still depending on them.
The DynaGATE 10-14 consolidates multiple devices in one, with significant savings while dramatically simplifying the installation and the interoperability challenges; DynaGATE 10-14 packs all the functions that would require dedicated GNSS units, Wi-Fi/BT to LTE/5G routers, IP camera processors, CAN-FD controllers.
The DynaGATE 10-14 combines a rugged IoT Gateway with an AI and Computer vision platform: for instance, IP and GMSL 2 (factory option) video feeds from vehicle cameras can be processed by the integrated 2.3TOPS AI accelerator.
The DynaGATE 10-14 is a global product, certified by major LTE carriers and ready to deploy in North America, Europe and Japan; it is also 5G ready and additional cellular operator and country certifications are available as a professional service.
Cutting-edge cybersecurity is often a critical requirement: the DynaGATE 10-14 is PSA certified and can even be certified according to IEC 62443-4-1/-4-2 cybersecurity (Professional Service). System integrity and authenticity against unauthorized manipulations is layered across hardware and software: at the hardware level TPM 2.0 and an innovative, always-on, power-independent hardware antitamper monitor assure that the system has not been manipulated and that its sensitive data are safe. At a higher level, technologies such as Secure Boot and ARM Trust Zone expand the protection perimeter to the whole system.
The DynaGATE 10-14 comes with Everyware Software Framework (ESF), a commercial, enterprise-ready edition of Eclipse Kura, the open source Java/OSGi middleware for IoT Edge Gateways. Distributed and supported by Eurotech, ESF supports ready-to-use field protocols (including Modbus, OPC-UA, S7), MQTT connectivity, web-based visual data flow programming and deep configuration. ESF is also integrated with Everyware Cloud (EC), Eurotech IoT Integration Platform (separately available here), enabling advanced diagnostics, provisioning, and full remote device access and management.

Pay special attention to the Notes.
Install the AWS CLI
To install the AWS CLI on your host machine, refer to the instructions at Installing the AWS CLI v2. Installing the CLI is needed to complete the instructions in this guide.
Once you have installed AWS CLI, configure it as per the instructions in this online guide. Set the appropriate values for Access key ID, Secret access key, and AWS Region. You can set Output format to "json" if you prefer.
AWS IoT Greengrass pre-installation
Dependind on your order code, AWS IoT Greengrass might be already installed and ready to use on the system. In order to check for its availability, you can run
on the Linux shell.
If AWS IoT Greengrass is already present on your device, the command will output something similar to the following, otherwise you can proceed installing Greengrass according to the next steps.
systemctl status greengrass
● greengrass.service - Greengrass Core
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/greengrass.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running)
Install AWS IoT Greengrass
Follow the online guide to Install with automatic provisioning. Refer to the instructions in the following steps:
For development environments, you can use the option “Use long-term credentials from an IAM User”. An example of how to do this is shown below:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<the access key id for your user>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<the secret access key for your user>
Create a Hello World Component
