SWDR001-Zephyr

IRNAS port of the Semtech SWDR001 LR11XX driver to Zephyr. Original package proposes an implementation in C of the driver for LR11XX radio component.

This repository is based on the following repositories from Semtech:

• SWDR001 - LR11XX radio driver
• SWSD003 - LR11XX radio samples

Folder structure

Driver is located in the drivers/radio folder where lr11xx_driver contains Semtech SWDR001 LR11XX driver files and Zephyr compatible HAL implementation is contained in the radio_drivers_hal folder. Board specific interface functions and defined in the lr11xx_board.h and lr11xx_board.c files.

Compatible Device Tree Binding is contained in the dts folder. To use pre-defined macros for RF switches in DT binding, lr11xx_bindings_def.h needs to be included in your DT file.

The samples folder contains functional samples compatible with SWSD003 Semtech examples. Additional example for almanac update has also been added.

Installation

This driver was written and tested for nrf-sdk v2.2.0

To install, modify your project's west.yml and add the following sections:

1. In remotes, add the following if not already added:

 - name: irnas
   url-base: https://github.com/irnas

2. In the projects section add at the bottom (select revision you need):

- name: SWDR001-Zephyr
      repo-path: SWDR001-Zephyr
      path: irnas/SWDR001-Zephyr
      remote: irnas
      revision: <release-tag | branch | commit hash>

Then run west update in your freshly created bash/command prompt session.

Above command will clone SWDR001-Zephyr repository inside of ncs/irnas/. You can now use the driver in your application projects.

Usage

Compatible Device Tree bing for lr11xx needs to be added to DT file, for example:

&spi2 {
    cs-gpios = <&gpio1 8 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
    lr11xx: lr11xx@0 {
        compatible = "irnas,lr11xx";
        reg = <0>;
        spi-max-frequency = <4000000>;

        /* Pin configuration */
        reset-gpios = <&gpio0 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        pwr-en-gpios = <&gpio0 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
        busy-gpios = <&gpio0 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
        event-gpios = <&gpio0 30 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH | GPIO_PULL_DOWN)>;

        /* TX path configuration */
        lf-tx-path = <LR11XX_TX_PATH_LF_HP>;

        /* TCXO configuration */
        tcxo-supply = <LR11XX_TCXO_SUPPLY_1_8V>;
        tcxo-wakeup-time = <3>;

        /* LF clock config */
        lf-clk = <LR11XX_LFCLK_EXT>;

        /* Regulator configuration */
        reg-mode = <LR11XX_REG_MODE_DCDC>;

        /* RF switch configuration */
        rf-sw-enable = <(LR11XX_DIO5 | LR11XX_DIO6 | LR11XX_DIO7 | LR11XX_DIO8)>;
        rf-sw-rx-mode = <(LR11XX_DIO6 | LR11XX_DIO8)>;
        rf-sw-tx-hp-mode = <(LR11XX_DIO5 | LR11XX_DIO6 | LR11XX_DIO8)>;
        rf-sw-wifi-mode = <(LR11XX_DIO5 | LR11XX_DIO8)>;
        rf-sw-gnss-mode = <(LR11XX_DIO7)>;
    };
};

LR11XX device structure can them be accessed trough device binding:

const struct device *context = DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_NODELABEL(lr11xx));

Development installation

This repository can also be used directly when developing this driver further. Just initialize it as any west project:

mkdir SWDR001-Zephyr
cd SWDR001-Zephyr
west init -m https://github.com/IRNAS/SWDR001-Zephyr
west update

SWDR001 LR11XX driver Components

NOTE: This section and everything bellow is a direct copy of the readme from SWDR001.

The driver is split in several components:

Bootloader

This component is used to update the firmware.

Register / memory access

This component is used to read / write data from registers or internal memory.

System configuration

This component is used to interact with system-wide parameters like clock sources, integrated RF switches, etc.

Radio

This component is used to send / receive data through the different modems (LoRa and GFSK) or perform a LoRa CAD (Channel Activity Detection). Parameters like power amplifier selection, output power and fallback modes are also accessible through this component.

Wi-Fi Passive Scanning

This component is used to configure and initiate the passive scanning of the Wi-Fi signals that can be shared to request a geolocation.

GNSS Scanning

This component is used to configure and initiate the acquisition of GNSS signals that can be shared to request a geolocation.

Crypto engine

This component is used to set and derive keys in the internal keychain and perform cryptographic operations with the integrated hardware accelerator.

Structure

Each component is based on different files:

• lr11xx_component.c: implementation of the functions related to component
• lr11xx_component.h: declarations of the functions related to component
• lr11xx_component_types.h: type definitions related to components

HAL

The HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is a collection of functions that the user shall implement to write platform-dependent calls to the host. The list of functions is the following:

• lr11xx_hal_reset()
• lr11xx_hal_wakeup()
• lr11xx_hal_write()
• lr11xx_hal_read()
• lr11xx_hal_direct_read()

The following driver contains Zephyr-compatible implementation.
