SX1272/76 radio drivers plus Ping-Pong firmware and LoRa MAC node firmware implementation.

Introduction

The aim of this project is to show an example of the LoRaMac endpoint firmware implementation.

REMARK 1: This is a Class A endpoint.

REMARK 2: Implements version R3.0 of LoRaMac specification.

LoRaMac R3.0 has been made incompatible with previous versions of the specification.

By default the LORAMAC_R3 compiler option is enabled. Disabling this option will enable LoRaMac specification R2.2.1

System schematic and definitions

The available supported hardware platforms schematics and LoRaMac specification can be found in the Doc directory.

Usage

Projects for Ride7 and Keil Integrated Development Environments are available.

One project is available per application and for each hardware platform in each development environment. Different targets/configurations have been created in the different projects in order to select different options such as the usage or not of a bootloader and the radio frequency band to be used.
