Support for native Linux devices (i.e. Pi Zero 2)

[jpoisso]

Hello!

Is there a plan or roadmap to support native Linux devices in the future?

I have a Pi Zero 2W with Lora HAT that I was hoping to use as a Room Server node but it doesn't seem to have support yet.

For reference, Meshtastic provides some support here: https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/linux-native-hardware/

Seconded, in my case using on the ClockworkPi uConsole with a LoRa expansion module would be very nice.

I was digging around the code looking for the same, uConsole

i would love to use my Zero 2 with POE as Room Server :)

we are open to PRs regarding linux native support. as the codebase tries to be framework-agnostic, it might be viable to just create new variant that will use linux native - without use of portduino.

@recrof thanks;

• found this PR which got closed by the author for some reason.
• the FAQ links to pyMC_core which seems to be a good fit.

found some more recent developments:

• Implementation of Meshcore in Python
• A lightweight Repeater Daemon implemented in Python, built using the pymc_core library

Yeah this is very close if not complete at this point.

Has anyone tried the Rpi client?
