I think it's good to go with LoRaWAN pre-certification with the current revision already. Is the LCTT useful for this? See https://lora-alliance.org/lorawan-certification/
@johanstokking it's a good idea. We'll start with CE (RED) certification route and alongside I will look into the LoRaWAN pre-certification. LCTT will definitely come in handy.
and doing V1.2 updates if the pre-certification run requires major HW changes, see V1.2 hardware label
@azerimaker can you please update this thread and post about the FCC updates
Summary:
Umbrella issue for device certification related issues and discussions.
Why do we need this?
Certification is on the critical path before the mass-market release of our product.
What is already there? What do you see now?
Currently we've started shipping the first [beta] units to our stealth-community members as a sample units w/o certification, but in upcoming months.
What is missing? What do you want to see?
FCC, CE and LoRaWAN certifications. We already have an RF shield in place and we followed many of the design guidelines from the chip manufacturers, so passing the certification shouldn't be too much trouble.
How do you propose to implement this?
Environment:
Typically an anechoic chamber is used to carry out the certification so if we can find a contract manufacturer with that capability we can save some cost there.
Acceptance Criteria:
Since the current version it's a multi-band device, we have to make sure it complies with all the regional regulations. Plus CE certification will be updated in summer, so we have to account for that too.
What can you do yourself and what do you need help with?
I'll do basic EMI tests with my limited HW setup (scope), especially to verify the DC-DC converter's behavior.
