Common port mappings on Edge Gateway 5000 with Wind River OS
Serial Port Mapping
Description: The following table show the serial port mapping on the Edge Gateway 5000 platform installed with Dell factory installed
Wind River Linux OS image. For dip switch setting on the Edge Gateway for RS422 and RS485 ports please refer to appropriate
hardware installation guide document.
NOTE: Device nodes are ordered by port position starting from the leftmost RS232 port.

Edge Gateway I/O Module GPIO Mapping
Description: The GPIOs on the Gateway are managed through GPIO driver on the OS. The cloud LED on the Gateway is attached to
one of the GPIOs and below are the steps on how to control the cloud LED in Wind River Linux OS.
1.
Export Cloud LED PIN:
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo 346 > /sys/class/gpio/export
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio346/direction
2.
Turn on Cloud LED:
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio346/value
3.
Turn off Cloud LED:
root@WR-IDP-XXXX:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio346/value
Edge Gateway I/O Module based GPIO Mapping
Description: The GPIOs on the external I/O module for the Edge Gateway are behind PIC microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller is
exposed to the host system and to the host OS as a USB-HID device. Software application developed to communicate with the
GPIOs may use the protocol defined in following set of references to communicate with the GPIO modules. There are no native
application software available on the factory OS image that communicates with the IO module GPIOs.
