Thank you by your support. Yes this Amazon SideWalk is a excellent point to start: RAK4630-Amazon-Sidewalk-Example, in the RAKWireless Github.

In my case, I will have to build a Sensors tree with my accelerometer(RAK1904), environment sensors(RAK1906), GNSS sensor(RAK12500), pressure transducer(RAK5801) and memory FRAM module(RAK15007), but it is this example, it is a path to follow :-)

Thank again.

Regards,

Cláudio

Hello,

[quote user="Claudio Rosa"]How is the support for LoRaWAN ?[/quote]

LoRaWAN is supported in the nRF Connect SDK through Zephyr https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/connectivity/lora_lorawan/index.html

[quote user="Claudio Rosa"]Other important point to mention it is that based on this Nordic article Amazon Sidewalk , Nordic has a partnership with Semtech and Amazon. If I am not wrong, Amazon SideWalk was made with Zephir. Do you have documentation about Amazon SideWalk?[/quote]

You're right regarding it not being made in Zephyr, but the Sidewalk libraries we have support for is made in nRF Connect SDK: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/protocols/amazon_sidewalk/index.html. So if you wish to use Sidewalk with Nordic you would have to use nRF Connect SDK (which includes Zephyr RTOS) and not the Zephyr SDK

Kind regards,
Andreas

Let me complement with documentation that I found in the Nordic website:

Good morning,

How is the support for LoRaWAN ?

I am asking this because RAK4631 is a Nordic nRf52840 connect in a Semtech LoRa SX1262, and as you wrote, RAK4631 has official support for Zephir.

Other important point to mention it is that based on this Nordic article Amazon Sidewalk , Nordic has a partnership with Semtech and Amazon. If I am not wrong, Amazon SideWalk was made with Zephir. Do you have documentation about Amazon SideWalk?

HI,

The RAK4631 is present in nRF Connect SDK through the Zephyr subrepository boards, see https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/boards/rak/rak4631/doc/index.html#overview for more information.

For the other 3 boards, there are no board support present, so you would have to create and/or port the board files yourself and create a PR to add them officially to Zephyr or reach out to RakWireless and request that they add them to Zephyr. See https://docs.rakwireless.com/ for more information from RAKwireless.

You can also have a look at the Zephyr discord support forums to see if you find any more information there https://www.zephyrproject.org/community/

Kind regards,
Andreas
