This directory contains the sources of the library to build a LoRa Picocell Gateway based on a Semtech LoRa multi-channel RF receiver (a.k.a. concentrator). Once compiled all the code is contained in the libloragw.a file that will be statically linked (ie. integrated in the final executable). The library implements the communication with the concentrator embedded MCU through a serial port.
The library also comes with a bunch of basic tests programs that are used to test the different sub-modules of the library.
Those programs are included in the project to provide examples on how to use the HAL library, and to help the system builder test different parts of it.
This software is used to set up a LoRa concentrator using a JSON configuration file and then record all the packets received in a log file, indefinitely, until the user stops the application.
This software is used to check the reliability of the link between the host platform (on which the program is run) and the LoRa concentrator register file that is the interface through which all interaction with the LoRa concentrator happens.
This software is used to send test packets with a LoRa concentrator. The packets contain little information, on no protocol (ie. MAC address) information but can be used to assess the functionality of a gateway downlink using other gateways as receivers.
This software is used to set LoRa concentrator in Tx continuous mode, for spectral measurement.
This software is used to jump to the PicoCell Gateway bootloader for programming the MCU with a new firmware. Please refer to the readme of picoGW_mcu repository for more information about MCU flash programming.
This software is used to obtain the unique id of the PicoCell gateway (the 64 bits unique id extracted from the STM32 unique id registers).
A detailed PicoCell GW user guide is available here
