If you are interested in: building a LoRaWAN Gateway software system, then this article is more suitable. Although it requires a bit of Linux knowledge, it is something that every "patient" person can master.

1th step: Install Linux 1.1 Prepare SD card

Prepare a 4GB capacity, Class 6 above the high-quality SD card, is the premise of using Raspberrypi.

1.2 Download and burn Raspbian

The tool for burning SD card is Win32diskimager

Download and extract the Raspbian-4.1 (recommended to install 4.1, the later version refused SSH login).

1.2.1 Select the corresponding disk character of SD card, this example is G disk.

(Caution: If you choose the wrong letter, it can result in a disaster----data loss.) ）

1.2.2 Find the raspbian-4.1.img mirror file.

1.2.3 Generate MD5 Hash to make sure that the mirrored file is 100% correct.

MD5 Hash = 881ff4362f42a9173bfef07b8301259f

1.2.4 Click Write

1.3 Login via SSH

For Raspberry IP, consult your network administrator or find it from the DHCP table in router. This example is 192.168.1.121

User name: Pi

Password: Raspberry

1.4 Enabling SPI Drive

According to the above figure, step-by-step operation, can enable SPI Drive.

After restarting Raspberry Pi, you can see that the SPI was successfully enabled.

2nd step: Compiling software 2.1 New User

User name: Rime

Password: Link

Add sudo permissions to the Rime user.

2.2 Installing GIT client

You can install Git client by entering the following 3 commands to wait for a while (depending on the speed of the network).

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install git

2.3 Download Source program

git clone https://github.com/Lora-net/lora_gateway.git

Git clonehttps://github.com/lora-net/packet_forwarder.git

2.4 Compiling the source program

2.5 Operating System

Explain:

sudo/home/rime/lora_gateway/reset_lgw.sh start 22 is used to reset SX1301

sudo./lora_pkt_fwd start the gateway process
