GD6 · Open hardware and open software

Open hardware. Open software. Your production.

Editable JLCEDA projects, a complete BOM, ESP-IDF firmware, and web console source are public under the MIT license. Review, modify, source, assemble, and flash GD6 under your own production control.

03 · What you see is what you configure

Open source, ready to use

Open source does not push complexity onto the operator. Network, LNS, radio, logs, and updates stay in a ready-to-use web interface that can also be modified.

  • Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and optional 4G status
  • Semtech UDP, Basic Station, and MQTT Bridge
  • Region, band, and radio parameters
  • Logs, filesystem, and A/B OTA
04 · Manufacturing independence

Independent production, end to end

Open files, a complete build chain, and a permissive license form an executable path to independent production.

EDITABLE

Hardware projects remain editable

These are not read-only PDFs; the .eprj2 projects can be continued in JLCEDA.

BUILDABLE

Software ships with its build chain

Firmware, web frontend, region configs, and flashing tools are public together.

MIT

MIT permits commercial use

With the license notice retained, users may use, modify, distribute, sublicense, or sell.

Keep manufacturing control in your own hands

Start with the JLCEDA projects and BOM, then build, modify, and manufacture your own GD6. Add ThinkLink when you need a complete LoRaWAN platform.
