RAK5166 CM5 gateway

Hello,

I recently got this tiny concentrator and I would like to make it work with my MINIMA carrier board for CM5 GitHub - piecol/CM5_MINIMA_REV3

I have no experience on custom gateway, can anyone suggest me ho to proceed?
I have found the RAKPiOS, but it looks it is for CM4, can it work on CM5 too?

Thanks

I tried to connect this module to my laptop, but it didn’t work. There aren’t even any instructions.

Hello Pierluigi,
The used SBC exposed the PCIe lines on the m.2 slot. RAK5166/5167 is in M.2 form factor, but is using the USB lines - https://docs.rakwireless.com/product-categories/wislink/rak5166/datasheet/#block-diagram
So it will not work with the SBC you have. Note that in Git, the M.2 is listed for SSD/storage.

I have RAK5166-210 model, but I don’t know how to get coordinates of gps, what soft use for it?

My part of global_conf.json
“come_type”: “USB”,
“come_path”: “/dev/ttyACM1”,
“gps_tty_path”: “/dev/ttyACM0”,
“enable” : “true”,

Script show me ./lora_pkt_fwd #no valid GPS coordinates available yet

Meshastic applications not work too.
cat /dev/ttyACM0 //nothing
