Hi there,
I would like to do an Elevate process using Raspberry Pi?
Is it possible to turn an SXT into Elevate using ARM devices like Raspberry?
I don't believe it will work. all though it would be pretty remarkable to have a generic driver that would work with the most common wifi chips out there. IOT, phones, laptops. ahhh i'd be amazing... cambiums MAC is lightyears ahead of wifi in terms of dealing with busy situations... I don't know what i would do with myself if entire mesh systems suddenly could sync and be as harmonious and the epmp hardware :)
that'd be a game changer.
If you mean using the Raspberry Pi as the device you perform the elevate from (instead of your desktop or laptop for example) I don't see a reason it wouldn't work. As long as the Pi is connected to the same network and it can reach the radio, I see no reason as to why it wouldn't. However, I don't know if the elevator tool (https://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/ePMP-Elevate/Device-Elevator-a-powerful-tool-for-your-network-lifting/m-p/75871#M529) runs on Raspbian OS. I kinda doubt it does, so it may be worth checking on that thread to make sure. If it doesn't, the only way for you to do it from a Pi would be by hand, through the GUI.

I agree with SBBinc - anything you can do via ssh/http/snmp you can equally well do from a Pi as from another platform. But winbox isn't an option on the Pi so there's no way to run a windows .exe file (like the elevator tool) nor a linux binary built for Intel/AMD x86 CPUs, since it's running an ARM processor. (I run a quadcore Pi as a workstation at home, with 7 others around the house, and one here at the NOC as a GPS-synced timeserver)

And what about trying Windows edition of Device Elevator (v20.352) ? ;-) https://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/ePMP-Elevate/Device-Elevator-a-powerful-tool-for-your-network-lifting/td-p/75871
