Applicable operating systems for this guide

To configure the ReliaCOR 33-11 you need any PC with an operating system that features a modern web browser (Chrome recommended) and a SSH client to perform troubleshooting (i.e. Putty for Windows OS or ssh command line on Linux Shell or Windows Powershell)

Overview

The ReliaCOR 33-11 is a fanless embedded Edge AI system based on NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ that has been designed for demanding AI applications in areas such as automotive vehicles, security and surveillance, robotics, industrial automation, and smart cities

The ReliaCOR 33-11 is powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ platform that features an Arm® Cortex®-A78AE CPU delivering up to 275 TOPS of AI performance and integrates an advanced NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU with 64 Tensor Cores. It supports rich I/O interfaces: Up to 8x 1GbE, up to 4x PoE, 1x 10GbE, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps), up to 8x USB 3.o Gen 1, two serial ports, 2x CAN interface, isolated Digital I/Os and 8x GMSL2 Ports (2x Quad FAKRA) as a factory option. The ReliaCOR 33-11 features with a wide range of wireless connectivity capabilities: it can integrate as a factory option a LTE Cat 4 Global cellular modem with GNSS, 5G Ready, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Thanks to dual universal bays, additional interfaces can be added (such as 4G/5G cellular modules, 2x 10GbE ports, 4x GbE on RJ45 or M12, with optional PoE, more USB ports).

The ReliaCOR 33-11 offers best in class Cybersecurity: it leads the market with IEC 62443-4-1/-4-2 SL2. Protection starts at the hardware level, with full support for TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and an always-on physical antitampering monitor/logger that is active even when the system is removed from power. For most demanding customers, special production-only images can be configured with full hardware hardening (interface disabling) to further reduce the attack surface.

Eurotech configuration management service allows fine tuning the ReliaCOR 33-11 to meet and exceed your project requirements; examples of personalized configurations include customer branding (with logo and custom colors) and can go to deep customization with a range of options for project specific requirements (such as frame grabbers, choice of internal components, etc.): call us for more information on configuration management options.

The ReliaCOR 33-11 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) SaaS, Eurotech IoT Integration Platform, enabling advanced diagnostics, zero-touch provisioning, and full remote device access and management.

Setup Your AWS Account

Refer to the online AWS documentation at Set up your AWS Account. Follow the steps outlined in the sections below to create your account and a user and get started:

Pay special attention to the Notes.

Create Resources in AWS IoT

Refer to the online AWS documentation at Create AWS IoT Resources.

Follow the steps outlined in these sections to provision resources for your device:

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.

Alternatively, you can use the AWS CloudShell to send the same AWS CLI commands directly from your browser.

AWS IoT Greengrass pre-installation

Depending 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

systemctl status greengrass

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

Download the AWS IoT Greengrass Core Software

If Greengrass has not been included in the SD card image, you can download the latest greengrass core software as follows:

wget https://d2s8p88vqu9w66.cloudfront.net/releases/greengrass-nucleus-latest.zip

Install the AWS IoT Greengrass Core Software

Unzip the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software to a folder on your device. Replace GGCoreInstall with the folder that you want to use:

unzip greengrass-nucleus-latest.zip -d GGCoreInstall
rm greengrass-nucleus-latest.zip

Verify the version of the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software:

java -jar ./GGCoreInstall/lib/Greengrass.jar --version

You will see the Greengrass version displayed - similar to:

AWS Greengrass v2.12.0

Provide Your Credentials

Run the following commands to provide the credentials to the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software.

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<the access key id for your account>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<the secret access key for your account>

Run the Installer

Run the installer as shown below. Modify the values as per your region, install directory and thing name.

Use the --provision true option to have the installer set up the "thing" and required policies for you. If you prefer to configure Greengrass manually, see the online guide.

sudo -E java -Droot="/greengrass/v2" -Dlog.store=FILE \
-jar ./GGCoreInstall/lib/Greengrass.jar \
--aws-region us-west-2 \
--thing-name thing-name \
--tes-role-name GreengrassV2TokenExchangeRole \
--tes-role-alias-name GreengrassCoreTokenExchangeRoleAlias \
--component-default-user ggc_user:ggc_group \
--provision true \
--setup-system-service true \
--deploy-dev-tools true

If all goes well, you will see the following output on the device console:

Successfully configured Nucleus with provisioned resource details!
Configured Nucleus to deploy aws.greengrass.Cli component
Successfully set up Nucleus as a system service

The local development tools (specified by the --deploy-dev-tools option) take some time to deploy. The following command can be used to check the status of this deployment:

aws greengrassv2 list-effective-deployments --core-device-thing-name thing-name

When the status is SUCCEEDED, run the following command to verify that the Greengrass CLI is installed and runs on your device. Replace /greengrass/v2 with the path to the base folder on your device as needed.

/greengrass/v2/bin/greengrass-cli help

Create a Hello World Component

In Greengrass v2, components can be created on the edge device and uploaded to the cloud, or vice versa.

Create the Component on Your Edge Device

Follow the instructions online under the section To create a Hello World component to create, deploy, test, update and manage a simple component on your device.

Upload the Hello World Component

Follow the instructions online at Upload your component to upload your component to the cloud, where it can be deployed to other devices as needed.

Debugging

The Eurotech device default development configuration is meant to ease access and debugging.

  • Ethernet Port LAN1 (11) is configured as DCHP Server with a IPv4 address of 172.16.0.1.
  • Ethernet Port 10G (10) is configured as DHCP Client.

SSH protocol is enabled on standard port TCP 22, with guest user access. Password is the serial number of the unit, which you can find on the product label. To access the system, run:

ssh guest@<IP Address>

You can use the eth_journalctl command to access the aggregated logs of the system:

eth_journalctl -help

Use these links for detailed information on log management and debugging.

Depending on the order code used for your Eurotech device, the system might already be set up for production environments. Refer to the ESF Security introduction to know more about framework execution modalities.
