LR11xx SDK

The LR11xx SDK contains several simple examples for LR11xx transceivers.

Examples

Name Description Documentation
Bluetooth Low Energy(R) Beaconing Compatibility Demonstrate Bluetooth® Low Energy Beaconing Compatibility. Only valid for LR1110 and LR1120 README
CAD Perform a Channel Activity Detection (CAD) - LoRa only README
PER Perform a Packet Error Rate (PER) test - both Tx and Rx roles README
Ping pong Launch an exchange between two devices README
RTToF (Ranging) Perform Round-Trip Time of Flight (ranging) exchanges. Only valid for LR1110 and LR1120 README
Sigfox Send a Sigfox-compliant uplink README
Spectral scan Get inst-RSSI values in RX mode to form a heat map README
Spectrum display Get inst-RSSI values in RX mode to form a dyamic spectrum curve README
Tx continuous wave Configure the chip to transmit a single tone README
Tx infinite preamble Configure the chip to transmit an infinite preamble README

A demonstration of the LR-FHSS capability of the chip can be found here.

Configuration

Each example has its own set of parameters - see lr11xx/apps/<example>/main_<example>.h.

There is also a common configuration file where parameters can be set, among which:

  • Packet type
  • RF frequency
  • Output power
  • Packet and modulation parameters for different modulations

Requirements

Supported boards

This SDK is developed on the ST Microeletronic NUCLEO-L476RG development board

Firmware

This SDK requires the transceiver to run the following version

  • LR1110: firmware version (0x0401)
  • LR1120: firmware version (0x0201)
  • LR1121: firmware version (0x0103)

To update the transceiver with the desired firmware version, please use the updater tool application.

Workaround

High ACP (Adjacent Channel Power)

This issue has beed fixed in firmware LR1110 0x0308 and LR1120 0x0102 - it was not present in LR1121 0x0101. The associated workaround is disabled in this project starting from v2.1.0.

If one wants to re-enable the workaround, this line has to be commented.
