NXP Smart Gateway Reference Design

The NXP Internet (IOT) gateway is an important part of the wired network that connects devices with everyday wireless capabilities, and they can be controlled and monitored. Based on the host controller running OpenWrt ARM9 Linux operating system, it provides an easy to use platform system development. Its software design is modular, allowing for easy customization, including application change software. The wireless interface can participate in ZigBee or JenNeTIP networks. With the addition of a wireless USB adapter, the gateway can participate in a hybrid network. Data encryption uses standard Internet technology and 128-bit AES-encrypted wireless communication technology on the wired interface. This IoT Gateway is an Ethernet gateway that is closely linked to low-power wireless networks and is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and is compatible with ZigBee and JenNet-IP smart gateways.
