I created a fully automated TTN UDP Gateway installer for the Bobcat 300 (G285/G29X).
Prerequisite:
First install Armbian by following the instructions in the Bobcat-Armbian project:
https://github.com/sicXnull/Bobcat-Armbian
After Armbian has been installed, use the installer from my repository:
https://github.com/AdvdLaar/Bobcat300-TTN
Note:
This installer is intended for TTN UDP Gateway operation only. It does not install or configure Helium.
Features:
Automatic detection of G285 and G29X hardware.
Selectable TTN region (EU868, US915, AS923, AU915, IN865, RU864, CN470, JP923, KR920).
Automatic Gateway EUI generation from the MAC address.
No git clone required (downloads the repository as a ZIP using wget).
Cleans up previous installations before installing.
Verifies the SPI device and required files before continuing.
Configures the packet forwarder automatically.
Includes a showgatewayinfo.sh utility to display the configured Gateway EUI and TTN server.
The installer has been tested on my Bobcat 300 G285 and performs a clean installation on an Armbian system without requiring any manual configuration.
Many thanks to sicXnull for making the Armbian port possible. Without that project, this installer would not have been possible.
Hopefully this is useful for others who want to convert their Bobcat into a TTN UDP Gateway.
Have fun with your TTN gateway.
Best regards,
