ST25 LoRa Provisioning

Description

The "ST25 LoRa Provisioning" application is designed to facilitate the provisioning process of a LoRa device through Near Field Communication (NFC). This application is specifically tailored for devices based on the STM32WL chipset, ensuring seamless integration and communication.

Key Features:

• NFC Integration: Utilizes a ST25DV64KC NFC Tag for secure and efficient communication between the application and the LoRa device.
• Network Registration: Registers the LoRa device onto a LoRaWAN network, such as The Things Network, allowing it to connect to the internet through low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN).
• Provisioning Keys: Provides the necessary keys required for the device to establish a secure connection, including session keys and network keys.
• Over-The-Air Activation (OTAA): Once the device is registered and provisioned, it can perform an Over-The-Air Activation, enabling it to securely connect to a LoRa Gateway.
• Data Transmission: After successful activation, the LoRa device can transmit data over the network, facilitating various IoT applications and use cases.

How It Works:

1. Initialization: The application initializes the communication link between the smartphone running the app and the LoRa device via the NFC tag.
2. Registration: The LoRa device is registered onto the LoRaWAN network using the provided credentials.
3. Key Provisioning: The necessary security keys are provisioned into the LoRa device, ensuring secure communication.
4. Activation: The device performs an OTAA, establishing a secure connection to the LoRa Gateway.
5. Data Exchange: The device can now send and receive data over the network, completing the provisioning process.

This application simplifies the setup and management of LoRa devices, making it an essential tool for developers and IoT enthusiasts working with LoRa technology.
