Which concentrator hardware for Intel/Ubuntu

Hi!

Which hardware would be best suited for an Intel NUC running Ubuntu. Communication preferably over USB / SPI to USB as there’s no PCIE slot.

Is it also possible to build Concentratord natively without docker?

I know that RAK has some concentrator modules that are using USB communication + they sell USB boards:

That should technically work with the Concentratord.

Is it also possible to build Concentratord natively without docker?

It is, but then you need to setup your own environment. E.g. the Docker environment provided by the Concentratord assures that all dependencies are present.

See for example:

github.com

chirpstack/chirpstack-concentratord/blob/master/cross/Dockerfile.x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

FROM ghcr.io/cross-rs/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl:main

ENV SX1301_VERSION=v5.0.1r2
ENV SX1302_VERSION=V2.1.0r7
ENV SX2G4_VERSION=V1.1.0

ENV HAL_ARCH=
ENV MUSL_PREFIX=x86_64-linux-musl

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get --assume-yes install \
    protobuf-compiler \
    libprotobuf-dev \
    git

RUN mkdir /hal

# Needed for RAK shields, works with other shields too
# sed -i 's/define SPI_SPEED.*/define SPI_SPEED 2000000/g' /hal/lora_gateway/libloragw/src/loragw_spi.native.c
