lora-packet-forwarder outdated in opkg

[Mats Hansen]

Hi there,

is there a release plan or schedule for the opkg package of the lora-packet-forwarder?
The one, that is in the opkg repo is still an old one. (1.4.1)

The acutual version is 3.0.0. and available on git:
https://github.com/Lora-net/packet_forwarder

Best regards
Mats

Bumping this thread since the 1.4.1 packet forwarder is really outdated. It is a big hassle for most people to build a full firmware image from sources just to get the latest packet forwarder. An updated opkg would be so much easier.

what about the lora-packet-forwarder_3.0.0.bb recipe,
anyone got this running?

The updated packet forwarder >=2.2.0 does not support the FTDI USB interface to the MTAC-LORA cards.

SPI interface is needed on the cards to work with 3.0.0 recipes.
SPI will be supported on our soon to be release cards.
