Installation

This section covers bootstrap and configuration of the Linux system and LoRaWAN software stack for both FIBER hardware variants:

  • FIBER — the industrial version, based on Compute Module 4.
  • FIBER Lite — a Raspberry Pi 5 based bench-test appliance that additionally ships a complete pre-integrated data pipeline (InfluxDB, Grafana, a branded dashboard) — see FIBER Lite in the sidebar for its exclusive install steps.

Most of the procedure is identical between the two — where it genuinely diverges (flashing, the concentrator's hardware path), the page itself has tabs for each variant.

In this guide, we use two terms:

  • HOST: The computer from which you will perform the setup.
  • TARGET: The actual FIBER device you are setting up.

Follow the pages below in order:

  1. Flash Raspberry Pi OS
  2. Update System
  3. Configure Hardware - I2C bus + RTC
  4. Install ChirpStack
  5. Install ChirpStack Concentratord
  6. Install ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder
  7. Register a Gateway and a Device
  8. Install Node-RED
  9. Firewall
  10. Ports & Default Credentials

Running a FIBER Lite? Once you reach the end of this list, continue with its additional services under FIBER Lite in the sidebar — Install Docker, Install InfluxDB, Install Grafana, and the branded Dashboard.
