Helium Hardware Definitions

Helium Hardware Definitions

IMPORTANT: This repository will go into 'Archive' mode soon as it has been migrated to hm-pyhelper.

This repository contains the python file that contains a GPIO map for all of the different hardware combinations to be supported by the Nebra Helium Hotspot Software.

All numbers below are their GPIO / BCM Numbers, not physical pin numbers.

Note: Light hotspot software will also work on all models listed as type "full".

Nebra Hotspots

Model	ENV Identifier	SPI Bus	Reset Pin	Status LED	Button	Type	Cellular	Notes
Nebra Indoor Hotspot Gen 1	NEBHNT-IN1	1.2	38	25	26	Full	False	CM3 based
Nebra Outdoor Hotspot Gen 1	NEBHNT-OUT1	1.2	38	25	24	Full	True	CM3 based
Nebra Pi 0 Light Hotspot S	NEBHNT-LGT-ZS	1.2	22	24	23	Light	False	SPI Based Ethernet
Nebra Pi 0 Light Hotspot X	NEBHNT-LGT-ZX	1.2	22	24	23	Light	False	USB Based Ethernet
Nebra Beaglebone Light Hotspot	NEBHNT-BBB	1.0	60	31	30	Light	False	In Planning
Nebra Pocket Beagle Light Hotspot	NEBHNT-PBB	1.0	60	31	30	Light	False	In Planning
Nebra Hotspot HAT RockPi4	NEBHNT-HHRK4	1.0	149	156	154	Full	False	In Planning
Nebra Hotspot HAT RPi	NEBHNT-HHRPI	0.0	22	24	23	Full	False	Should be compatible with 3+ & 4
Nebra Hotspot HAT RPi LIGHT	NEBHNT-HHRPL	0.0	22	24	23	Light	False	Light is compatible with all 40 pin headers
Nebra Hotspot HAT Tinkerboard 2	NEBHNT-HHTK	2.0	167	163	162	Full	False	Light would be compatible on TK1

Third Party Hotspots

We may be adding in support for other vendor's hotspots to use our software soon. Here are the variables for those.

These would also depend on their SOCs being supported by Balena.

Model	SOC/SBC	ENV Identifier	SPI Bus	Reset Pin	Status LED	Button	Type	Cellular	Notes
Rak Hotspot Miner	BCM2711 (Pi4 2gb RAM)	COMP-RAKHM	0.0	17	20	21	Full	False	Only Compatible with V2 hotspots with ECC Key.
OG Helium Hotspot	BCM2711 (Pi4 2gb RAM)	COMP-HELIUM	0.0	17	20	21	Full	False
Syncrobit Hotspot 1 (Pi)							Full	False
Syncrobit Hotspot 2 (RK)							Full	False
Bobcat Miner 300							Full	False
SenseCAP M1	BCM2711 (Pi4 2gb RAM)	COMP-SENSECAPM1	0.0	17	20	21	Full	False

DIY Hotspots

The following DIY options are also supported for light hotspot software only.

Please note, DIY Hotspots do not earn HNT.

Model	SOC/SBC	ENV Identifier	SPI Bus	Reset Pin	Status LED	Button	Type	Cellular	Notes
Pi Supply IoT LoRa Gateway HAT	RPi	DIY-PISLGH	0.0	22			Light	False	Any pi with 40 pin header
RAK2287	RPi	DIY-RAK2287	0.0	17			Light	False	Any pi with 40 pin header

Install

This package is automatically built and published to our PyPI repo using GitHub Actions. Installing the package is as simple as:

pip install hm-hardware-defs

You can also install a specific version using:

pip install hm-hardware-defs==0.1.4

Usage

You can use the hardware definitions within your project by importing the package into your python script as follows:

from hm_hardware_defs.variant import variant_definitions

Important Notes

This package is used in a number of Nebra software repos:

• hm-pktfwd
• hm-config
• hm-diag

Contributing

If there is hardware that you would like to be supported that is not listed here, please complete one of the following:

• Create an issue on this repository which has the name of the Hotspot or DIY solution with (at a minimum) a link to a pinout of the device and which SBC it is to be used with. The more information you can provide the better!
• Fork this repository and add the device to the array in variant.py, update the table above and then create a pull request.
