Board-Docs

LoRa USB adapter Pinephone backplate.

Build

git clone xxx
cd pinedio-lora-driver
git submodule update --init

In the SX-Library, the workaround-patch needs to be applied due to a not yet debugged bug in the kernel driver. Afterwards:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j

Dependencies

You need to install and load this driver to be able to use the USB adapter. This spi-ch341-usb is a driver that configures the CH341 chip (USB <-> serial converter) mounted on the USB adapter and exposes it as a spidev (userland SPI API) device.

Current state of this project

This is only a PoC currently.

TODO

• Remove unnecessary sleep()
• migrate to https://github.com/dimich-dmb/spi-ch341-usb and test if it works better (eg. without the patch).
• Expose LoRa-Config to be able to fed into the library
• replace some mutex-hacks with proper notify
• Make a file that works on PineDio as well as the PinePhone LoRa-Backplate
• ...
