Prerequisites

Sample applications for the embedded device are available in the examples/ folder, within the full-sdk-delivery repository.

Our Demo examples aim to demonstrate how lab.SCHC software help the communication between heterogeneous protocols and create a bridge between IoT and IP worlds for fluid data exchange.

LNS

As the Demo examples are running over LoRa, a LoRa Network Server (LNS) must be configured first. The configuration is similar in many LNS:

1. Provision a LoRa Gateway.
2. Create an Application.
3. Provision a device.
   • Select the appropriate frequency for your region.
   • Set the LoRaWAN version to 1.0.4.
   • Regional Parameters version can be set to 1.0.2 revision B for the RP001 region.
   • Enable class C support and Over-the-Air Activation (OTAA).
   • Generate and set the DevEUI and AppKey. End device ID must match the DevEUI.
   • JoinEUI should be set to zeros.
4. Create an API Key to allow the SCHC Gateway to send downlink packets.
5. Configure a Webhook Integration (HTTP).
   • Configure a JSON format.
   • Set the Token if required by the SCHC Gateway.
   • Set the target URL to point to the SCHC Gateway.

Hardware and software

Besides the configured LNS and LoRa gateway, you will also need:

• A compatible board and Semtech shield:
  • NUCLEO-L476RG with SX1276 or SX1272 shield
• A SCHC Gateway:
  • ThingPark X SCHC IPCore
  • OpenSCHC
• A serial port terminal software (such as minicom or CuteCom).
• The lab-schc/examples repository. Clone it using the following command:

git clone https://gitlab.com/lab-schc/examples.git
