Instructions to use Dragino Lora/GPS HAT on OPOS6ULDev (thanks to RaspberryPi™ compatible connector).

LoRa™

• Uses HOPERF RFM96W module (clone of Semtech's SX1276 ?) which is controlled through SPI bus.

# modprobe spidev

• Testing that chip is recognised with python spidev:
  • Bring chip out of reset:

# echo 24 > /sys/class/gpio/export
# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio24/direction
# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio24/value
# echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio24/value

• • activate it:

# echo 97 > /sys/class/gpio/export
# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio97/direction
# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio97/value

• • read ID (register 0x42):

import spidev

spi = spidev.SpiDev()
spi.open(3,0)
to_send=[0x42,0x00]
spi.xfer(to_send)
[255, 255]
