Hello,

You can use Semtech picoGW packet forwarder on any UNIX device. The steps to get R11e-LR8/9 working are the following:

  1. run “git clone https://github.com/Lora-net/picoGW_hal.git”;
  2. Use any editor to edit line 33 of /picoGW_hal/libloragw/inc/loragw_mcu.h so that it looks like this:
#define STM32FWVERSION 0x010a0004 /* increment LSB for new version */
  1. run “git clone https://github.com/Lora-net/picoGW_packet_forwarder.git”;
  2. Go to /picoGW_hal in the terminal and execute “make” command;
  3. Go to /picoGW_packet_forwarder and execute “make” command;
  4. Go to /picoGW_packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd and edit global_conf.json to configure channels and server details;
  5. Execute “dmesg” to see which ttyACM number is asigned for your LR card, if it is ttyACM0, you can run the forwarder by command “./lora_pkt_fwd”, if it is any other ACM, you should run it as “./lora_pkt_fwd -d /dev/ttyACMX”, where X stands for ACM number.
