Ann: Xped Completes Porting to Chipset Manufacturers, page-357

Hi, I have same thinking on C1000.

This is what I think on D2000:

Based on D2000, Xped developed a mini PCI-express card that provides the NFC and 802.15.4 communications hardware required by ADRC. The PCI-express card is added to IoT gateway routers of Intel's clients who are using Intel Moon Island Gateway.

Xped’s ADRC technology is also available on the “Intel® IoT Moon Island Gateway”.

From Xped's documentation:

• A licensing model whereby only the IoT stack embedded in a Thing’s microchip is licensed and the rest of the ADRC solution is open source. The open source components are the:
> Device browser app (DeB)
> Resource Modelling Language (RML) that is used to describe a Thing and its functionality
> Resource Control Protocol (RCP) that is the protocol used to transfer RML files and commands between the Thing, the IoTG and DeB
> ADRC server software for an Internet of Things Gateway (IoTG)


• An ADRC-enabled Thing with:
> A microchip loaded with the ADRC IoT stack. The IoT stack provides:
- NFC connectivity to the smartphone
- 802.15.4 wireless connectivity to the IoTG
- device management
- communications with the manufacturer’s application in the Thing

IMO, the PCI - express card is the IoT stack by Xped for Intel's clients' platform.

From Intel's website:

"The Intel Quark D2000 microcontroller includes powerful processing in an energy-conscious envelope, offering developers a platform to build devices on the edge that are fully compatible with other Intel
products".


And, the ADRC server software, an open sourced software - IMO is separate from the PCI-express card, which you are right, act like a router.

"The ADRC server software provides the following system services:
• Device management to enable the IoTG to manage and coordinate a personal area network (PAN) that can include any number of ADRC-enabled Things and any number of smartphones with DeB installed
• A file system to store the RML files that describe the Things and their capabilities
• A pairing table with the following information for each Thing:
> manufacturer and model
> MAC address
> wireless channel
> PAN id
> security key for secure communications between the IoTG and a Thing
