FAQ
How can I get started with EdgeBox?
You can install the original Debian OS and directly program firmware to support underlying hardware interfaces and drivers. Thanks to the great Raspberry Pi Ecosystem, you can also utilize third-party software like Codesys and Ignition Edge as well as cloud servers like AWS and Azure.
What kinds of 4G and LoRa modules can I use?
You can input Quectel EC20/EC25 module for 4G LTE usage.
You can use Seeed WM1302 module for LoRaWAN applications.
Can I use 4G and LoRa at the same time?
Sorry, this box does not support 4G and LoRa use at the same time.
