Issues with LoRa Nucleo Pack

[KMill]

Having checked the ST Website for LoRaWAN kits I settled on the LoRa LF Sensor and Gateway kit (P-NUCLEO-LRWAN3)

 

There is no mention on the website that this pack is obsolete or end of life. I always check that because I have been burned before by ST products being stocked by distributors, but being no longer supported.

The first issue I encountered was the instructions telling me to sign up for a Cayenne account, but the Cayenne project was shuttered in 2023. Dead end number one.

Then when trying to install the I-CUBE-LRWAN packeage into CubeIDE it gives the following error after selecting the zip package:

(And don't get me started on how awful the UI for adding expansion packs is.)

Are ST are no longer supporting this pack, since there are no errata or updates on the product page to cover any issues like Cayenne being shuttered? (I know that Cayenne is not essential, but there should at least be an errata with differential instructions to cover it.)

I am so fed up spending good money on ST products only to find they are obsolete, end-of-life, or only supported on older versions of the IDE tools.

Hello @KMill 

For the I-Cube-LRWAN, it is not compatible with CubeMX. You can't add it to CubeMX and use directly throw it. You should add it manually to your project.

Best Regards.

Thanks for the quick reply @STTwo-32 

It would be good of there was an errata and a getting-started added to the package (i-cube-lrwan) and the product (P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2/3).

There are no installation instructions anywhere that I could find for the package.

The P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 is marked as "NRND" - probably should say, "obsolete" ?

It seems that the P-NUCLEO-LRWAN3 probably should be, too - not sure that Rising HF are supporting the modules any more?

Presumably because there is no installation to do - it's just a load of source files.
