| - | ====== LoRaLoc modem ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== HALv2 (Loraloc / sx1301 array) ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The downloadable source tarball is available in dedicated [[wiki:ressources|ressources]] page. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The HAL provided by Kerlink is based on new Semtech HAL **lora_gateway_v2**. \\ | ||
| - | Main modifications aim to adapt HAL to Kerlink boards: | ||
| - | * Multi-board support | ||
| - | * Calibration parameters can now be parsed as an overload config file (similarly to local_conf.json) named /tmp/calib_loraloc.json | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | As Loraloc architecture is much more complex, this HAL is quite different from HAL v1. \\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Compilation ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | To simplify deployment on board, Kerlink provides a script called **build_package.sh**. It must be modified to set correct the toolchain according to the platform used: Change the YOCTO_TOOLCHAIN_ENV variable at begin of this script.\\ | ||
| - | This tool script make all tools and prepare an OPKG package including them. | ||
| - | |||
| - | === HALv2 v3.3.0 === | ||
| - | |||
| - | To compile it, please use following commands: | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | cd lora_gateway_v2 | ||
| - | source /opt/toolchains/loraV2/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi | ||
| - | make SPI_HOST=imx | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | === HALv2 v3.5.0 === | ||
| - | |||
| - | To compile it, please use following commands: | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | cd lora_gateway_v2_3.5.0-klk5 | ||
| - | source /opt/toolchains/loraV2/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi | ||
| - | make | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Usage ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The main modification in tools since HALv1 is the '-d' argument. \\ | ||
| - | As this HAL is mainly designed to handle multiple RF chips, this optional argument allows to specify which spidevice to use. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Kerlink provides a automatic discovery script at startup to handle correctly plugged boards. | ||
| - | |||
| - | By default, if a WAN module is provided, loraloc modules are mapped from slot 2. | ||
| - | |||
| - | So to use tools with this Loraloc module, please specify on tool's command-line **-d /dev/slot/2/spidev0**. \\ | ||
| - | For example: | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | ./pkt_logger -d /dev/slot/2/spidev0 | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Configuration ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Due to architecture, the configuration is quite more complex than HAL v1: | ||
| - | * **board** keyword means "Loraloc board" or "LoraLoc module" (one "board" by slot) | ||
| - | * each board includes 2 **chip** configs (i.e. sx1301 configs) | ||
| - | * each board includes 2 **rfchain** configs | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Chip config === | ||
| - | |||
| - | This configuration must include SX1301 channel config. \\ | ||
| - | These channels can be configured through "sx1301ar_conf_chan" function. \\ | ||
| - | Please note that this function takes as "channel number" the concatenation of chip number and channel. (see function description in sx1301ar_hal.h) | ||
| - | |||
| - | === RF Chain config === | ||
| - | |||
| - | This configuration is mainly used to correct RSSI and TX power values. \\ | ||
| - | Corresponding calibration values are set in Production by Kerlink and extracted during board startup in ///tmp/calib_loraloc.json// file. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Thanks to ad9361 transceiver chip. We are able to get +-0.25 dBm precision on real TX power. \\ | ||
| - | As a consequence, up to 32 power steps (tx_lut) are generated and calibrated in production. | ||
| - | |||
| - | === JSON Config === | ||
| - | |||
| - | The JSON configuration file has been improved to simplify software by using JSON tables. \\ | ||
| - | Indeed: | ||
| - | * The main Radio config object "SX1301_array_conf" is now a table to support multiple boards | ||
| - | * "rf_chain_conf" is also a 2-objects-sized table | ||
| - | * "SX1301_conf" is a 2-objects-sized table | ||
| - | * "tx_lut" is a variable table (up to 32 objects) | ||
| - | |||
| - | <ifauth @admin,@klk> | ||
| - | ===== Radio scanning ===== | ||
| - | The radio scanner can be addressed by a serial port from host CPU. The COM port can be retreived in the platform json description file /tmp/sys_startup_status.json, modem COM port is contained inside the field “module”.“acm_path”. The modem is identified by its physical location given in the field “module”.“position”.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | The command to enable an spectrum scanning is **sx1239** with the following parameters: | ||
| - | * scan mode : need to be **fl** | ||
| - | * number of path : need to be 1 for Lora Dual modem | ||
| - | * start frequency in Hertz | ||
| - | * stop frequency in Hertz | ||
| - | * frequency step in Hertz (should be 62500) | ||
| - | * frequency bandwith in Hertz (should be 62500) | ||
| - | * Bitrate (should be 600) | ||
| - | * loop number, set to **0** for an infinite scanning | ||
| - | |||
| - | Example: | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | sx1239 fl 1 863000000 870000000 62500 62500 600 0\r | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | The spectrum data are returned line by line separated by a \r\n, each line correspond to a complete scan of the band. The format is ASCII and respects the following protocol: | ||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | [PATH] : [DURATION] : [DATA] [FIN] | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Where : | ||
| - | * [PATH] : radio path number : 0 or 1 (always 0 for Lora Dual modem) | ||
| - | * [DURATION] : duration of the scan of the full band expressed in milli-seconds coded as a decimal | ||
| - | * [DATA] : N x data coded as hexascii between 00 and FF, it expresses the opposite of the received power (-RSSI) | ||
| - | * [FIN] : synchro character: \r\n (0x0D 0x0A) | ||
