This guide will provide instructions to install the development environment needed to compile and debug the demo firmware of the Sensor Node Lora. The development system is multiplatform, it supports Windows and Linux. This guide is written using Windows. The main steps are:
Hardware required:
Now you are ready to import the project in your KDS.
With the Mini-USB connector you are able to use OpenOCD inteface. It is necessary to install the mbed serial port driver.
Warning
Note
Connector CN4 is not fitted on the lora-node board. It is a connector SMD MALE STRIP 2x5 P1.27mm. You have to fit it in order to debug the board via SWD.
From the release 1.4 you can reset the RN module throught the menu. Follow the next steps:
BAEVTSS002 firmware version 1.5b
RN2483 1.0.1 Dec 15 2015 09:38:06
*** MENU CONFIG RN2483 ***
Enter 0 to print this menu
Enter 1 to see values in DEVEUI and DEVADDR registers
Enter 2 to modify DEVEUI
Enter 3 to modify DEVADDR
Enter 4 to modify APPSKEY
Enter 5 to modify NWKSKEY
Enter 6 to save changes
Enter 7 to Microchip default reset
Enter 8 to Avnet default reset
Enter 9 to exit
Starting Avnet default reset, please don't turnoff the board
Note
with the sources you can build the firmware 1.5b. You can generate the bin file to copy in the mass storage simpy using the Lora.bin
The Kinetis software development kit (KSDK) is an extensive suite of robust hardware interface and hardware abstraction layers, peripheral drivers, RTOS abstractions, stacks, and middleware designed to simplify and accelerate application development on Freescale Kinetis MCUs. The addition of Processor Expert technology for software and board configuration provides unmatched ease of use and flexibility. Included in the Kinetis SDK is full source code under a permissive open-source license for all hardware abstraction and peripheral driver software. Mainline releases include support for a collection of Kinetis MCUs, whereas standalone releases offer support for one or a few additional Kinetis MCUs only. For details read KSDK page.
