User Manual for All Gateway models - DLOS8N - Outdoor LoRaWAN Gateway User Manual
7.3 File System
The DLOS8N has a 16MB flash and a 64MB RAM. The /var and /tmp directories are in the RAM, so contents stored
in /tmp and /var will be erased after rebooting the device. Other directories are in the flash and will remain after
reboot.
The Linux system uses around 8MB ~10MB flash size which means there is not much room for user to store data in
the DLOS8N flash.
You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.
7.4 Package maintenance system
DLOS8N uses the OpenWrt
OPKG package maintenance system
. There are more than 3000+ packages
available in our package server for users to install for their applications. For example, if you want to add the
iperf

iperf
.
Below are some example
opkg
