Hola NXP Community,
We are currently using the RAK Wireless RAK5146 module to build a LoRa/LoRaWAN gateway. While we are familiar with Raspberry Pi as a commonly used platform for this purpose, we are exploring other suitable Linux-based devices that are compatible and reliable for gateway development.
Could you kindly share your recommendations for alternative Linux-based systems (e.g., SOMs, SBCs, or industrial PCs) that would work well with the RAK5146 for both LoRa and LoRaWAN functionalities? Additionally, any specific part numbers or models you have successfully worked with would be greatly appreciated.
Hello @BinaryNomad
I hope you are doing very well.
I believe any Linux based device can handle this kind of LoRa devices, but just you can find/develop the driver for this.
For example, the i.MX93 or in general the i.MX Family are Linux based systems.
Also, I found this repository with a driver that seems to be for this specific device and it is for Linux.
You can try to cross-compile and test it.
Best regards,
Salas.
