[REQUEST] em3587 ncp uart fw

[sgufa]

Hi. Would it be possible to add etrx3587-lr (EM3587) ncp uart with sw flow control firmware ebl?

What baud rate?
Do you know the port pin used to enable the PA/LNA?
Thanks :)

I have added the firmware to the repository. I used 115k2 Baud, S/W flow control, and PC6 for PA/LNA.

Hi, i don't know the pin to enable PA/LNA. Actually i'm using the telegesis firmware (R309 AT commands) and no pin other than PB1 for TX, PB2 for RX and PA5 to trigger bootloader mode.
What the PA/LNA firmware is used for? Is it really necessary?
BTW thank you for the fw

EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. The module is not LR (long range version) but the standard one

I dont knowing if its designed as Silabs WSTK board or the Telegesis module.

One PM on the module pads:

• {1} Pins PB0 and PC5 of the EM357 are used internally to control the front-end module. PB0 is not available to the user.

• 2. One good description of the reference design: https://community.silabs.com/s/article/how-are-the-gpios-configured-in-the-em35x-ezsp-ncp-firmware-x?language=en_US
• 3. Greta to here that you is is not in 110% lock-down Gary !!!!

ETRX3587-LR(S) is a "Long Range" device with an added PA/LNA with PC5 used as the enable for the FEM. I used PC6 so will need to modify the firmware :( I used the default settings from Silabs which uses PC6 for FEM control?
@MattWestb - Where I live, no Covid, no lockdowns :) Family double vax'd. BUT borders opening 17th Dec so things will change :(

I have modified the code to support PC5 for the PA/LNA. No bootloading on PA5 - did you want it? NCP supports bootload commands via software command.

Thank you. No need for PA5. Do you confirm it works well also with non LR version?

EDIT: Confirmed working also on non LR version. Thank you
