Applicable operating systems for this guide
To configure the ReliaGATE 15A-14 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 ReliaGate 15A-14 is purpose-built for industrial environments with its powerful processing ARM Quad-Core CPU and the ability to seamlessly connect to global networks and 5G Ready
The ReliaGATE 15A-14 supports internal modularity, to conveniently enable deep personalization options. Drawing feature sets from a library of standard modules, it is possible to add as many extra capabilities as needed; examples of modules include a LoRa Concentrator, a LoRa Node, Digital and Analog I/O expansions, extra Ethernet ports (SFP, RJ-45, SPE), a RedCap 5G cellular module, a precision GNSS module, and much more. For customers that require even more specific capabilities, Eurotech offers customization services that can meet any demand.
The ReliaGATE 15A-14 takes a novel approach at helping developers, devops and Infosec Officers in creating, securing, and administrating projects and fleets of devices throughout the entire lifecycle:
- Hardware developers can leverage on a platform that is feature rich, with a wide range of radio and wired interfaces, deeply certified and fully hardened against physical cyber-attacks. An additional benefits is the internal modularity of the product, which enables a high degree of configurations that can be created by combining a library of standard and custom modules at a fraction of the cost and time usually needed for a custom design.
- Application developers can accelerate dramatically the creation of their applications by leveraging the APIs and services provided by Everyware Software Framework (ESF), Eurotech’s Java/OSGi middleware for IoT Edge Gateways. ESF supports ready-to-use field protocols (including Modbus, OPC-UA, S7), MQTT connectivity, and web-based visual data flow programming.
- Developers of containerized solutions can leverage the native Docker support.
- CISOs find the best-in-class Cybersecurity: a secure platform that has been certified to ISASecure/IEC 62443-4-2 SL2 and PSA Level 1 with an always-on physical antitampering monitor/logger that is active even when the system is removed from power. Eurotech cybersecurity services provide updates that are timely delivered and easily applied to ensure constant protection throughout the product’s lifecycle.
- Cloud developers benefit from native connectors to Eurotech Everyware Cloud, AWS and other third-party Cloud services.
- Devops can speed up and simplify most tasks thanks to advanced diagnostics, Zero Touch Provisioning, 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
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:
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:
Verify the version of the AWS IoT Greengrass Core software:
You will see the Greengrass version displayed - similar to:
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:
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.
Create a Hello World Component
In Greengrass v2, components can be created on the edge device and uploaded to the cloud, or vice versa.
