stm32wba65 and I-CUBE-LRWAN

[SLevi.1]

I have a custom board with stm32wba65 processor. I also have an RFM95 LoRa module. I need to add LoRaWAN capability. I tried adding I-CUBE-LRWAN into my CubeMX but was not able to load it (not a recognised package).

How can I get an ST or Semtech approved LoRaWAN stack into my project?

Please do not suggest I use stm32WL processor.

Indeed, I-CUBE-LRWAN is not a "Package" in the CubeMX sense.

It's just a load of source code, which you add to your project manually. Or start from one of the supplied examples in it.

 

PS:

See also: I-CUBE-LRWAN Projects do not have .ioc files.

@Imen.D - is there any progress on making that CubeMX version?

Ok, so I took the example for stm32L476, and copied the LoRaWAN folder across.

How do I specify that we are using:

1. RFM95 (sx1276) board
2. stm32WBA65 processor
3. spi3 for comms
4. PC13 for CS

Is there a header file to set this up? or do I just edit the .c files directly?

[Andrew Neil]

The processor you specify in the IDE Project;

The other stuff, as mentioned in the linked thread, is all done in the HAL code.

Yes, there should be (a) header(s); eg, mlm32l0xx_hw_conf.h has:

/* LORA I/O definition */

#define RADIO_RESET_PORT GPIOC
#define RADIO_RESET_PIN GPIO_PIN_0

#define RADIO_MOSI_PORT GPIOA
#define RADIO_MOSI_PIN GPIO_PIN_7

#define RADIO_MISO_PORT GPIOA
#define RADIO_MISO_PIN GPIO_PIN_6

#define RADIO_SCLK_PORT GPIOB
#define RADIO_SCLK_PIN GPIO_PIN_3

#define RADIO_NSS_PORT GPIOA
#define RADIO_NSS_PIN GPIO_PIN_15

#define RADIO_DIO_0_PORT GPIOB
#define RADIO_DIO_0_PIN GPIO_PIN_4

#define RADIO_DIO_1_PORT GPIOB
#define RADIO_DIO_1_PIN GPIO_PIN_1

#define RADIO_DIO_2_PORT GPIOB
#define RADIO_DIO_2_PIN GPIO_PIN_0

#define RADIO_DIO_3_PORT GPIOC
#define RADIO_DIO_3_PIN GPIO_PIN_13

#ifdef RADIO_DIO_4
#define RADIO_DIO_4_PORT GPIOA
#define RADIO_DIO_4_PIN GPIO_PIN_5
#endif

#ifdef RADIO_DIO_5
#define RADIO_DIO_5_PORT GPIOA
#define RADIO_DIO_5_PIN GPIO_PIN_4
#endif

#define RADIO_TCXO_VCC_PORT GPIOA
#define RADIO_TCXO_VCC_PIN GPIO_PIN_12

#define RADIO_ANT_SWITCH_PORT_RX GPIOA //CRF1
#define RADIO_ANT_SWITCH_PIN_RX GPIO_PIN_1

#define RADIO_ANT_SWITCH_PORT_TX_BOOST GPIOC //CRF3
#define RADIO_ANT_SWITCH_PIN_TX_BOOST GPIO_PIN_1

#define RADIO_ANT_SWITCH_PORT_TX_RFO GPIOC //CRF2
#define RADIO_ANT_SWITCH_PIN_TX_RFO GPIO_PIN_2

etc, ...

That was:

I-CUBE-LRWAN_V1.3.1\Projects\B-L072Z-LRWAN1\Applications\LoRa\End_Node\Core\inc\mlm32l0xx_hw_conf.h

Also noted in the thread I linked earlier is that the LoRa(WAN) code all comes from Semtech.

So you could try going direct:

"LoRa Basics Modem/Modem-E is an easy-to-use software library that simplifies the development of LoRaWAN® end-nodes in the ISM Sub-GHz and 2.4GHz bands for worldwide interoperability. It provides developers with an event-driven interface at a high level of abstraction. The Software stack is compatible with TS001-LoRaWAN L2 1.0.4 and Regional Parameters RP2-1.0.3 specifications."
