EC300 ARM Industrial Computer Development Guide

The EC series ARM industrial computers run an optimized version of Ubuntu at their core, providing a stable foundation for industrial scenarios. Additionally, they come pre-installed with Node-RED und NeuronEX-Lite, providing a clear differentiation advantage.

• Node-RED: An open-source visual programming tool. It offers a browser-based flow orchestration interface where devices and data processing can be connected and configured via drag-and-drop.
• NeuronEX-Lite: A lightweight edge computing software designed for industrial IoT. It supports multiple industrial protocols, enabling fast device connectivity and millisecond-level real-time data processing.

This “Double N” software architecture allows developers to quickly build business logic through drag-and-drop (Node-RED) while providing professional capabilities such as protocol parsing, device connection, and data collection (NeuronEX-Lite). The EC series achieves a seamless combination of rapid business development and professional industrial data acquisition, significantly improving development efficiency and operational reliability in industrial IoT solutions.

To help developers understand and use EC gateways, we previously released the EC100 Development Guide. Now, we present its sister guide — EC300 Development Guide. Before starting, if you’ve forgotten basic info such as the EC gateway backend URL, please review the EC Series Gateway Learning Guide.

Peripheral Interfaces

1. Debug Port

EC300 series exposes system debug via Type-C.

• Default login: root
• Default password: see Open System Permissions documentation in the EC-Serie ARM-Industriecomputer Lernpfad.

2. Serial Interfaces

Schnittstelle	Device File	EC300	EC300P	EC301
RS485-1	/dev/ttyS7	✔️	✔️	✔️
RS485-2	/dev/ttyS2	❌	❌	✔️
RS232	/dev/ttyS3	❌	❌	✔️

Note: RS485 handles sending/receiving automatically; users don’t need to switch manually.

3. LED

The EC300 series has 6 LEDs in total, 4 of which are user-programmable.

Hardware	IO Index	IO Number	Chip	Notes
POW	/	/	/	Power indicator
RUN	50	GPIO1_C2	gpiochip1	Used by the system; blinking when running
LED1	137	GPIO4_B1	gpiochip4	User-programmable
LED2	51	GPIO1_C3	gpiochip1	User-programmable
LED3	143	GPIO4_B7	gpiochip4	User-programmable
LED4	52	GPIO1_C4	gpiochip1	User-programmable

Note: The IO index is calculated from the IO number.

4. CAN

The EC301 has two CAN interfaces：

Hardware Interface	Netzwerk-Schnittstelle
CAN1 [H1 L1]	can0
CAN2 [H2 L2]	can1

4.1 Quick Test

Connect CAN1 and CAN2 together; test via the command line:

can_example.sh:

#!/bin/bash
#First, initialize can0 and can1 with a baud rate of 500k, then set can0 to receive data and can1 to send data.

ip link set can0 down
ip link set can1 down

ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000
ip link set can1 type can bitrate 500000

ip link set can0 up
ip link set can1 up

echo 4096 > /sys/class/net/can0/tx_queue_len
echo 4096 > /sys/class/net/can1/tx_queue_len

candump can0 &

7. Buttons

EC300 Product Series – Buttons: Managed by internal programs, not user-programmable, used for restarting or resetting the device via web page configuration.

Hardware Interface	IO Index	IO Number	Chip Group	Bemerkungen
Button	0	GPIO0_A0	gpiochip0	Default system reset/restart button

• Restart: press 1s and release
• Reset + Restart: press >5s

8. Hardware Watchdog

All EC300 products have the hardware watchdog enabled by default, managed by internal programs.

Enable Control	113	GPIO3_C1	gpiochip3	Default system reset/restart button
Watchdog IO	8	GPIO0_B0	gpiochip0

Recommended watchdog feeding period: <30s

Note: If the internal programs are stopped, you must take over the watchdog feeding service yourself; otherwise, the device will reboot periodically.

9. Netzwerkanschlüsse

The network ports are divided into WAN + LAN, managed by internal network programs; configuration is required via the web interface. For details, see the EC Quick Start Guide.

10. Cellular Wireless

The EC300 product series supports 4G/5G communication (5G requires purchasing the 5G version; for details, please contact customer support). Module recognition and dialing are managed by internal programs, so users do not need to worry. See the EC Quick Start Guide.

11. Wi-Fi

The EC300 product series supports Wi-Fi hotspot and Wi-Fi client modes; supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Wi-Fi is managed by internal programs, so users do not need to worry. For details, see: EC Quick Start Guide.

12. Bluetooth

The EC300 product series supports Bluetooth functionality.

12.1 Quick Test

# Enter the shell Bluetooth interactive mode
bluetoothctl

# In the interactive mode, execute the following commands:
# Check the Bluetooth controller (adapter) status

# If the adapter is not enabled, turn it on
power on

# Enable discoverable mode (allow other devices to find this device)
discoverable on

# Enable pairable mode
pairable on

# Start scanning (continuous scanning, press Ctrl+C to stop)
scan on

# For pairing a Bluetooth device (e.g., headset, MAC address AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF) as an example:
# Execute in bluetoothctl
# Pair the device
pair AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

# Trust the device (optional, to avoid repeated verification later)
trust AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

# Connect the device
connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

# If pairing requires a PIN code, enter it as prompted (usually 0000 or 1234, or the code provided in the device manual)
# After successful connection, you can view device details with info AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
info AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

13. Audio

The EC300 product series supports a 3.5mm headset jack.

13.1 Quick Test

Connect a 3.5mm headset or speaker device to the HP port of the device; create a script file as follows:

hp_example.sh：

#!/bin/bash

# Set the playback device to HP (HEADPHONE OUT)
amixer -c 0 cset name='Playback Path' 'HP'

# Set the playback volume to 200, range 0–255
amixer -c 0 cset name='Playback Volume' 200

# Play a sample audio file
aplay /run/media/mmcblk0p9/iotrouter.wav

Hardware Interface	Auflösung	EC300	EC300P	EC301
HDMI	1920×1080	✔️	❌	✔️
LVDS	1280×800	❌	✔️	❌

14.1 LVDS Screen

Supports backlight brightness adjustment, adjustment range [0–255]：

echo 128 > /sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness

echo 255 > /sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness

Control screen display：

echo off > /sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1/status

Software Applications

1. Internal Management Program

To simplify user operation, the EC300 product series comes with a built-in management program, iotrouter, which starts automatically on boot. The management program includes, but is not limited to, the following functions:

• Device initialization
• Verwaltung des Netzes
• Watchdog
• Key/button monitoring
• Firewall
• Device configuration service (default port 80, listening port can be changed; file: /usr/local/src/iotrouter/web/user-config.js)
• User file browsing function (default path /home; path can be changed; file: /usr/local/src/iotrouter/web/user-config.js)

Note: The internal program must be kept running; otherwise, the device may not operate normally on startup. If the user must disable the internal management program, they must take over the above management services themselves.

2. NeuronEX

The EC300 product series comes with NeuronEX-Lite pre-installed. The service starts automatically on boot and listens on port 8085. For more details, see: Learning Path

• Check service status: systemctl status neuronex
• Restart service: systemctl restart neuronex
• Stop service: systemctl stop neuronex
• Disable service auto-start: systemctl disable neuronex

3. Node-Red

The EC300 product series comes with Node-Red pre-installed. The service starts automatically on boot and listens on port 1880. For more details, see: Learning Path
