Introduction ----------------- - -This software is used to send test packets with a Lora concentrator. The packets -contain little information, on no protocol (ie. MAC address) information but -can be used to assess the functionality of a gateway downlink using other -gateways as receivers. - -2. Dependencies ----------------- - -This program is a typical example of Lora Gateway HAL usage for sending packets. - -Only high-level functions are used (the ones contained in loragw_hal) so there -is no hardware dependencies assuming the HAL is matched with the proper version -of the hardware. -Data structures of the sent packets are accessed by name (ie. not at a -binary level) so new functionalities can be added to the API without affecting -that program at all. - -It was tested with v1.0.0 of the libloragw library, and should be compatible -with any later version of the library assuming the API is downward-compatible. - -3. Usage ---------- - -The application runs until the specified number of packets have been sent. -Press Ctrl+C to stop the application before that. - -Use the -f option followed by a real number (decimal point and scientific -'E notation' are OK) to specify the modulation central frequency. - -Use the -s option to specify the Spreading Factor of Lora modulation (values 7 -to 12 are valid). - -Use the -b option to set Lora modulation bandwidth in kHz (accepted values: 125, -250 or 500). - -Use the -p option to set the concentrator TX power in dBm. Not all values are -supported by hardware (typically 14 et 20 dBm are supported, other values might -not give expected power). Check with a RF power meter before connecting any -sensitive equipment. - -Use the -t option to specify the number of milliseconds of pause between -packets. Using zero will result in a quasi-continuous emission. - -Use the -x option to specify how many packets should be sent. - -Use the -i option to invert the Lora modulation polarity. - -The packets are 20 bytes long, and protected by the smallest supported ECC. - -The payload content is: -[T][E][S][T][packet counter MSB][packet counter LSB] followed by ASCII padding. -All Lora data is whitened, so the padding has no influence whatsoever on the -packet error rate. - -4.
