Hi,
We need to design the Gateway, all related requirement/feature information's are explained as below. Kindly check our requirement/application and advise accordingly.
This is one of the most important Project, We need your support to built efficient product.
1.Kindly Suggest the suitable and right module/IC (EVM board should be available with supporting design documents) which is available with you ,
•Microprocessor / Microcontroller
•WiFi Module/Chip
•Bluetooth
•Zigbee
•KNX Transreceiver
•Ethernet driver, if not built in feature with Processor/Controller.
2. Could you support us for all the time like Schematic Review, Layout/Gerber review, Suggestions/Recommendations wherever required?
Overview:
•PFA the Block diagram.
•Gateway is designed to bridging between cloud and end devices operating via WiFi, Zigbee, BLE and KNX channels.
•Ethernet should also supports for BACnet IP to transreceive the Messages.
•
•Application: Home/Building Automation, Industry Automation, etc.
•
•Proto: 50 units
•Production: 10K, 50K
•Production Plan: December 2021
•Operating Temperature: to work between temperatures of -40’C and 85’C and humidity of 5% to 97%
•Sufficient thermal insulation and power surge protection must be provided
•Must be UL certified and RoHS certified.
Technical Specifications;
1. Microprocessor / Microcontroller:
•Should work with Linux OS
•Communicate with/over BLE/BLE Mesh devices, WiFi/WiFi Mesh devices, Zigbee devices.
•Communicate with KNX devices include Sensors, actuators, supported devices
•Communicate over Ethernet, should support BACnet IP.
•MQTT Client libraries and AES libraries
Security:
•Must support secure-boot with OTPROM based core root of trust
•Build procedure to sign the bootloader OS and application binaries with a RSA private key.
•Secure boot verification by establishing chain of trust from OTPROM till application layer.
•OS should be Secure Linux.
•Storing passwords, user names, keys in a secure storage
2. WiFi Module/Chip:
•Should support WIFI 802.11 a/b/g/n (ac optional)
•Network range should be maximum as possible. Kindly advise how to achieve.
•One Antenna should be sufficient or dual Antenna required?
3. Bluetooth:
•Should support Bluetooth (BLE 5.0)
•Range should be maximum as possible. Kindly advise how to achieve.
•On board PCB Antenna Sufficient or External Antenna required?
4. Zigbee:
•Should support ZigBee 3.0 (HA 1.2)
•Range should be maximum as possible. Kindly advise how to achieve.
•On board PCB Antenna Sufficient or External Antenna required?
5. KNX Transreceiver:
•Should support KNX over IP
•Should natively support KNX over Twisted Pair
•Should have UART/RS485 for communicating with Processor/Controller.
6. Ethernet:
•It can be a inbuilt feature with Processor/Controller, suggest if external driver required. Should support BACnet IP.
Thanks and Regards,
