| 6 | +Overview |
| 7 | +******** |
| 8 | +The Sentrius™ MG100 Gateway offers a compact, out of box Bluetooth to low power cellular gateway |
| 9 | +solution. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Based on the Pinnacle 100 socket modem, the Sentrius™ MG100 gateway captures data from any |
| 12 | +Bluetooth 5 modules or devices and sends it to the cloud via a global low power cellular |
| 13 | +(LTE-M/NB-IoT) connection. The MG100 seamlessly incorporates a powerful Cortex M4F controller, |
| 14 | +full Bluetooth 5 connectivity, and dual-mode LTE-M/NB-IoT capabilities. The MG100 has full regulatory |
| 15 | +and network certifications and End Device carrier approvals. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Develop your application directly on the integrated Cortex M4F microcontroller using Zephyr RTOS, |
| 18 | +enabling your application development with a secure, open source RTOS with more than just kernel |
| 19 | +services. Remotely debug your fleet of devices with the `Memfault Platform`_. Take advantage of the |
| 20 | +Zephyr community and Laird Connectivity’s multi featured Out of Box (OOB) sample source code |
| 21 | +covering all aspects of the product's capabilities and hardware interfaces. The MG100 also delivers |
| 22 | +complete antenna flexibility with internal or external antenna options available, and the optional |
| 23 | +battery backup provides uninterrupted reporting of remote Bluetooth sensor data. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +More information about the board can be found at the `MG100 website`_. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +The MG100 hardware provides support for the Nordic Semiconductor `nRF52840`_ ARM Cortex-M4F CPU, |
| 28 | +`Sierra Wireless HL7800`_ |

| 158 | +Programming and Debugging |
| 159 | +************************* |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +Applications for the ``mg100`` board configuration can be |
| 162 | +built and flashed in the usual way. (see :ref:`build_an_application` |
| 163 | +and :ref:`application_run` for more details) |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +The `Laird Connectivity USB-SWD Programming Kit`_ contains all the necessary |
| 166 | +hardware to enable programming and debugging an MG100. |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +Flashing |
| 169 | +======== |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +Follow the instructions in the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to install |
| 172 | +and configure all the necessary software. Further information can be |
| 173 | +found in :ref:`nordic_segger_flashing`. Then build and flash |
| 174 | +applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and |
| 175 | +:ref:`application_run` for more details). |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application. |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +.. note:: On the MG100, |
| 182 | + the USB connector should be used to access the UART console. |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 185 | +
|
| 186 | + $ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200 |
| 187 | +
|
| 188 | +Replace :code:`<tty_device>` with the port where the board MG100 |
| 189 | +can be found. For example, under Linux, :code:`/dev/ttyUSB0`. |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +Then build and flash the application in the usual way. |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +.. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| 194 | + :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| 195 | + :board: mg100 |
| 196 | + :goals: build flash |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +Debugging |
| 199 | +========= |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +Refer to the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to learn about debugging Nordic boards with a |
| 202 | +Segger IC. |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +Software |
| 205 | +******** |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +MG100 Out-of-Box Demo Software |
| 208 | +============================== |
| 209 | +The MG100 ships with an out of the box software demo. |
| 210 | +Check out the `BLE Gateway OOB Demo`_ source code and documentation. |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +Testing Bluetooth on the MG100 |
| 213 | +============================== |
| 214 | +Many of the Bluetooth examples will work on the MG100. |
| 215 | +Try them out: |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +* :ref:`ble_peripheral` |
| 218 | +* :ref:`bluetooth-eddystone-sample` |
| 219 | +* :ref:`bluetooth-ibeacon-sample` |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +Testing the LEDs and buttons in the MG100 |
| 222 | +==================================================== |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on |
| 225 | +the board are working properly with Zephyr: |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +.. code-block:: console |
| 228 | +
|
| 229 | + samples/basic/blinky |
| 230 | + samples/basic/button |
| 231 | +
|
| 232 | +You can build and flash the examples to make sure Zephyr is running correctly on |
| 233 | +your board. The button and LED definitions can be found in |
| 234 | +:zephyr_file:`boards/arm/mg100/mg100.dts`. |
