SiK 电台

SiK radio is a collection of firmware and tools for telemetry radios.

Information about using SiK Radio can be found in Peripheral Hardware > Telemetry > SiK Radio

The ("developer") information below explains how to build SiK firmware from source and configure it using AT commands.

构建说明

The SiK repository includes bootloaders and firmware for the following telemetry radios (2020-02-25):

• HopeRF HM-TRP
• HopeRF RF50-DEMO
• RFD900
• RFD900a
• RFD900p
• RFD900pe
• RFD900u
• RFD900ue

INFO

The SiK repository does not currently firmware for RFD900x or RFD900ux telemetry radios. In order to update firmware on these radios (for instance, in order to support MAVLink v2.0), the following process is suggested:

1. Download the appropriate firmware from the RFDesign website.
2. On a Windows PC, download and install RFD Modem Tools.
3. Use the RFD Modem Tools GUI to upload the firmware to your RFD900x or RFD900ux telemetry radio.

配置说明

You will need to install the required 8051 compiler, as this is not included in the default PX4 Build toolchain.

Linux

Install the toolchain:

brew install sdcc

Build the image for the standard SiK Radio / 3DR Radio:

git clone https://github.com/LorenzMeier/SiK.git
cd SiK/Firmware
make install

Upload it to the radio (change the serial port name):

tools/uploader.py --port /dev/tty.usbserial-CHANGETHIS dst/radio~hm_trp.ihx

配置说明

The radio supports AT commands for configuration.

screen /dev/tty.usbserial-CHANGETHIS 57600 8N1

Then start command mode:

INFO

DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING ONE SECOND BEFORE AND AFTER

List the current settings:

ATI5

Then set the net ID, write settings and reboot radio:

ATS3=55
AT&W
ATZ

INFO

You might have to power-cycle the radio to connect it to the 2nd radio.
