Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for IBM's LMIC 1.6 communication stack targeted to RPi and Dragino LoRA/GPS HAT.

The goal was to keep the LMIC 1.6 sourcecode untouched, and just provide a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for Raspberry Pi and Dragino LoRa/GPS HAT.

Installation

WiringPi

To control the RPi's GPI ports, the WiringPi GPIO interface library has to be installed. On some operating systems WiringPi is already installed per default. For instructions on manual installation please refer to the following site: http://wiringpi.com/download-and-install/

Enable SPI interface

Per default, the SPI ports on the Raspberry Pi are disabled. You need to manually enable them using raspi-config. Follow the instructions given here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/spi/README.md

Note on LMIC 1.6 license

IBM "LoRa WAN in C" is the LoRa WAN implementation of choice, and a perfect match to the IBM LRSC on the end device. It is provided as open source under the BSD License.

Example "hello"

Directory: /examples/hello

Modifications neccessary: None

This example does not use radio, it just periodically logs a counter value. Can be used to checked if the timer implemenation on RPi works as expected.

cd examples/hello
make clean
make
sudo ./build/hello.out
