This project forked from lora-net/lora_gateway
Driver/HAL to build a gateway using a concentrator board based on Semtech SX1301 multi-channel modem and SX1257/SX1255 RF transceivers.

Hi @nestorayuso !
We are testing the packages with wiki here and it is an awesome job and working!
In our case we are using an eth0 (wired cable) interface as default. But also we had configured a ppp0 (modem 3G) interface as second default (backup).
We know that pkt_fwd establishes a connection with the LoRAWAN Network Server choosing the default routing interface: eth0 or ppp0.
Our best option is eth0 iface. The ppp0 is for a backup connection.
But since pkt_fwd is connected over eth0 and suddenly this interface gets down, the default iface will be ppp0.
At this point, the script must to be reload to establishes a connection with the LoRaWAN Network Server over ppp0.
However we would like the pkt_fwd manage this connection without have to reload the script as we are doing now.
Is it possible to include this on pkt_fwd script, please?
Best Regards,
Rogério
I put one of these together but could not get the GPS working until I added the section below to the global_conf.json. Works fine with GPS lock.
/* GPS configuration */
"gps_tty_path": "/dev/ttyAMA0",
/* GPS reference coordinates */
"ref_latitude": 0.0,
"ref_longitude": 0.0,
"ref_altitude": 0
In WIKI page you write - And that's all! No more hardware modifications are needed although later I will discuss some improvements to lower the heat and power dissipated.
Please, add this information.
Now I test mCard-LoRa, and is very hot.
Thank you.
Hi, I don't think this is an issue but I am trying to run the basic util_pkt_logger to test if the gateway is working. However, the gateway (concentrator) doesn't even start. I have followed this tutorial exactly.. https://github.com/mirakonta/lora_gateway/wiki
I get the error message "loragw_pkt_logger: ERROR: failed to start the concentrator"
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be? I don't get this error when I run the packet_forwarder programs.
The TX LUT size of 36 causes a failure of AGC initialization. It seems to me the issue is on line 1093 of libloragw/src/loragw_hal.c . The FW is expecting 16 entries but 36 are sent and thus initialization fails.
I was going to build a gateway based on the MTAC with the USB sled modification, but I've noticed that the MTAC-LORA is now deprecated, and they've updated it to the MTAC-LORA-H.
Original: MTAC Lora v1.0
New: MTAC Lora-H? v1.5
It says that it's "SPI" based, while the older one was "USB" based... I'm guessing that they're planning to skip the USB-SPI bridge.
The FCC test setup is very different between the two... Version 1.0 has the USB sled like Mirakonta has done, while the v1.5 has wires soldered directly to the contacts on the sled...
It looks like they've soldered onto some of the Reserved mPCIe pins...? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Hi @nestorayuso
Wiki page is really an awesome tutorial.
I'm following the Part 3: Compile LoRa gateway software to setup my own LoRa gateway, the only difference is that i'm using Ubuntu 14.04 instead of Raspberry-Pi, packet_forwarder(basic_pkt_fwd) works as expected, but util_tx_test, test_loragw_hal and test_loragw_cal report "ERROR: Version of calibration firmware not expected, actual:4 expected:2"
Below is the detail, any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
