SolarOS 4.6.8 manual · job

radio-link

Packet-radio adapter for the transport-independent SolarOS Link service.

Usage:

job start radio-link <link> <radio> <profile> [inbox=off|on] [chat=off|on]
job stop radio-link
job status radio-link
link status <link>

Example:

job start radio-link link0 radio0 lora-eu868 chat=on
link send link0 broadcast "hello"
link status link0

The job claims the radio, applies the complete named profile, creates the Link instance, transmits its queued frames, and continuously receives complete radio packets. The Link service validates its own CRC, suppresses duplicates, replies to requested unicast acknowledgements, and retains accepted messages in a bounded queue. inbox=on additionally publishes accepted text messages to the universal inbox. chat=on instead registers Link as a messaging provider, creates a broadcast conversation, discovers source IDs as Contacts, and supports direct and broadcast text through Chat. Both options are off by default and cannot be enabled together.

Stopping restores the radio configuration and state that existed before the job started. Mutating direct radio operations are rejected while the radio is owned by the job. See link.md for commands, frame layout, IDs, queue limits, transport MTUs, and version-one exclusions.
