# Pinetab
|
|
|
|
These are **preliminary** notes on support for Meshtastic in the Pinetab.
|
|
|
|
A RF95 is connected via a CS341 USB-SPI chip.
|
|
|
|
Pin assignments:
|
|
CS0 from RF95 goes to CS0 on CS341
|
|
DIO0 from RF95 goes to INT on CS341
|
|
RST from RF95 goes to RST on CS341
|
|
|
|
This linux driver claims to provide USB-SPI support: https://github.com/gschorcht/spi-ch341-usb
|
|
Notes here on using that driver: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ch341-usb-to-spi-adaptor-driver-doesn%27t-work-4175622736/

## Task list
|
|
|
|
* Port meshtastic to build (under platformio) for a poxix target. spec: no screen, no gpios, sim network interface, posix threads, posix semaphores & queues, IO to the console only
|
|
Use ARM linux: https://platformio.org/platforms/linux_arm
|
|
And linux native: https://platformio.org/platforms/native
|
|
|
|
* Test cs341 driver - just test reading/writing a register and detecting interrupts, confirm can see rf95
|
|
* Make a radiolib spi module that targets the cs341 (and builds on linux)
|
|
* use new radiolib module to hook pinebook lora to meshtastic, confirm mesh discovery works
|
|
* Make a subclass of StreamAPI that works as a posix TCP server
|
|
* Use new TCP endpoint from meshtastic-python
