Conduit mLinux for processing packets with python

[m.abos@tapconsultoria.com]

Hi all!

Is possible Conduit mLinux receive packets from the gateway, process them and send another packets to the motes? All with python 2.7.

What are the server hardware features? I’m referring to RAM, CPU and HD capacity, for example.

Regards.

Packet Forwarder interfaces with the MTAC-LORA card and provides LoRa packets via UDP for uplink and downlink. This is used for sending packets via LoRa modulation.

The Network Server provides, key/session management, authentication and decryption of packets which can be access via UDP or MQTT. It provides the LoRaWAN protocol services.

A python application could interface with either service. Sending packets to LoRaWAN motes would require key/session management, authentication and encryption of packets.

Datasheet is available here, there is 256 MB of RAM.

Thanks Jason!

So, your advice is not make too much processing in this server, right?

What situations developers can manage within it?
What python versions are supported by this hardware?

Do you think is better programming in C or in perl in order to not load too much the server?

Thank you very much!

Regars,
Miguel

It depends on what you intend to do. Just LoRa modulation or support LoRaWAN protocol.

Application Development

C/C++ Toolchain

Python is ok for an application depending on what you need it to do. Just forwarding to cloud is probably a light lift. The development may be easier.
C is the best choice for performance.

Looking at the feeds http://www.multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/
mLinux 3 – python 2.7.3
mLinux 4 – python 2.7.12
