This repository contains a proof-of-concept implementation of a single channel LoRaWAN gateway.
It has been tested on the Raspberry Pi platform, using a Semtech SX1272 transceiver (HopeRF RFM92W), and SX1276 (HopeRF RFM95W).
The code is for testing and development purposes only, and is not meant for production usage.
Part of the source has been copied from the Semtech Packet Forwarder (with permission).
Maintainer: Thomas Telkamp [email protected]
Was forked by @jlesech https://github.com/tftelkamp/single_chan_pkt_fwd to add json configuration file
then forked by @hallard https://github.com/hallard/single_chan_pkt_fwd
- Added support for Dragino Lora HAT and LoRasPi (more to come)
- pin definition are in config file
- Removed some configuration hard coded in source file and put them into global_conf.json
- renamed main.cpp to single_chan_pkt_fwd.cpp
- added single_chan_pkt_fwd.service for systemd (debian jessie minimal) start
- added
make install
andmake uninstall
into Makefile to install service - added control for On board Led's if any
Raspberry PI pin mapping is as follow and pin number in file global_conf.json
are WiringPi pin number (wPi colunm)

- For Dragino RPI Lora HAT
pins configuration inglobal_conf.json
"pin_nss": 6,
"pin_dio0": 7,
"pin_rst": 0
- For LoRasPi Shield
pins configuration in fileglobal_conf.json
"pin_nss": 8,

Install dependencies as indicated in original README.md below then
cd /home/pi
git clone https://github.com/hallard/single_chan_pkt_fwd
make
sudo make install
To start service (should already be started at boot if you done make install and rebooted of course), stop service or look service status
systemctl start single_chan_pkt_fwd
systemctl stop single_chan_pkt_fwd
systemctl status single_chan_pkt_fwd
To see gateway log in real time
journalctl -f -u single_chan_pkt_fwd
running daemon on Raspberry PI with LoRasPI shield
Original README.md below
- listen on configurable frequency and spreading factor
- SF7 to SF12
- status updates
- can forward to two servers
Not (yet) supported:
- PACKET_PUSH_ACK processing
- SF7BW250 modulation
- FSK modulation
- downstream messages (tx)
- SPI needs to be enabled on the Raspberry Pi (use raspi-config)
- WiringPi: a GPIO access library written in C for the BCM2835 used in the Raspberry Pi. sudo apt-get install wiringpi see http://wiringpi.com
- Run packet forwarder as root
