LoRaWAN

Build Status Latest Version Docs Gitter chat

The lorawan library provides structures and tools for reading and writing LoRaWAN 1.0.2 messages from and to slices of bytes.

Sample Packet manipulation

Use the library

[dependencies]
lorawan = "0.5.0"

Packet generation

use lorawan::{creator, keys, maccommands};
use heapless;

fn main() {
    let mut phy = creator::JoinAcceptCreator::new();
    let key = keys::AES128([1; 16]);
    let app_nonce_bytes = [1; 3];
    phy.set_app_nonce(&app_nonce_bytes);
    phy.set_net_id(&[1; 3]);
    phy.set_dev_addr(&[1; 4]);
    phy.set_dl_settings(2);
    phy.set_rx_delay(1);
    let mut freqs: heapless::Vec<lorawan::maccommands::Frequency, heapless::consts::U256> = heapless::Vec::new();
    freqs.push(maccommands::Frequency::new(&[0x58, 0x6e, 0x84,]).unwrap()).unwrap();
    freqs.push(maccommands::Frequency::new(&[0x88, 0x66, 0x84,]).unwrap()).unwrap();
    phy.set_c_f_list(freqs).unwrap();
    let payload = phy.build(&key).unwrap();
    println!("Payload: {:x?}", payload);
}

Packet parsing

use lorawan::parser::*;
use lorawan::keys::*;

fn main() {
    let data = vec![0x40, 0x04, 0x03, 0x02, 0x01, 0x80, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01,
    0xa6, 0x94, 0x64, 0x26, 0x15, 0xd6, 0xc3, 0xb5, 0x82];
    if let Ok(PhyPayload::Data(DataPayload::Encrypted(phy))) = parse(data) {
        let key = AES128([1; 16]);
        let decrypted = phy.decrypt(None, Some(&key), 1).unwrap();
        if let Ok(FRMPayload::Data(data_payload)) = decrypted.frm_payload() {
                println!("{}", String::from_utf8_lossy(data_payload));
        }
    } else {
        panic!("failed to parse data payload");
    }
}
