Software

We have prepared a custom Linux distribution for the WisGate Connect called RAKPiOS. The RAKPiOS is a fork of the Raspberry Pi OS with all the required drivers to use the device, some security changes, helper scripts and Docker included by default.

With the included rakpios-cli you can easily configure the network and deploy several IoT services from a curated list of docker containers available from the device.

Included in the Package:

• RAK7391 CM4 carrier board
• Set of jumpers
• Phoenix male connector
• 12V2A power supply
• Set of standoffs and screws to secure the board
• Set of screws for the mPCIe, M.2 and WisBlock slots
• Aluminum enclosure with OLED screen
• Set of screws for the enclosure
• Set of rubber feet
• Set of SMA caps
