Open source software to implement IQRF gateways from Linux devices

A powerful IQRF gateway can easily be implemented with any general purpose Linux-based microcomputer like Raspberry Pi.

IQRF Gateway Daemon is a package allowing to easily create an IQRF gateway with Internet and cloud connectivity from embedded Linux devices (Raspberry Pi, Up Board, PlugPC, BeagleBone, …). The Daemon utilizes multiple communication channels UDP, MQ and MQTT.

For immediate start, the DS-IOT-01 and IoT-StarterKit-01 development sets are intended.

IQRF GW Daemon principle:
