A copy of mbed-os-example-lorawan that is compilable with PlatformIO in the currently used mbed-os version (6.6.0).
See mbed_app.json. You must change the pin settings and LoRa keys (OTA/ABP parameteres) for this to work.
This example copies the SX127x configuration file from the mbed_app.json file of the repo.
Other configs are available at https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-lorawan/tree/master/config but currently incorrect (see ARMmbed/mbed-os-example-lorawan#216), so beware.
Example: This projects platformio.ini uses board = nucleo_l152re which maps to the mbed-os target NUCLEO_L152RE. The mbed_app.json contains a section defining the settings for that mbed-os board using
"NUCLEO_L152RE": {
"lora-spi-mosi": "D11",
"lora-spi-miso": "D12",
"lora-spi-sclk": "D13",
"lora-cs": "D10",
"lora-reset": "A0",
"lora-dio0": "D2",
"lora-dio1": "D3",
"lora-dio2": "D4",
"lora-dio3": "D5",
"lora-dio4": "D8",
"lora-dio5": "D9",
"lora-rf-switch-ctl1": "NC",
"lora-rf-switch-ctl2": "NC",
"lora-txctl": "NC",
"lora-rxctl": "NC",
"lora-ant-switch": "A4",
"lora-pwr-amp-ctl": "NC",
"lora-tcxo": "NC"
},which defines the radio pins. (not-connected pins can are to NC).
The settings from the * override section also apply. Settings regarding keys (for OTA in this case) and the radio type are contained.
"target_overrides": {
"*": {
"platform.stdio-convert-newlines": true,
"platform.stdio-baud-rate": 115200,

"lora.over-the-air-activation": true,
"lora.duty-cycle-on": true,

"target.components_add": ["SX1276"]
},If your target board is not in explicitly mentioned in the mbed_app.json settings, the pin settings from the config object in there apply (all NC default).
For other lora.* settings, see https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/blob/master/connectivity/lorawan/mbed_lib.json (e.g. regarding ABP configuration).
mbed-os listens by default on SF12 for the RX2 window. Since TTN sends RX2 traffic on SF9, your node will hear nothing. If you want to receive data when using TTN and ABP, see ARMmbed/mbed-os#9761. This issue can be ignored when using OTA.
