The Heltec HRI-485-2 is a LoRa to Ethernet gateway with wide-range DC power input, packaged in a DIN rail case. Includes slots for SIM card and LTE modem.

I'm not sure how to activate the RTL8201. It seems, Ethernet is tied more or less to a specific platform:

src/DebugConfiguration.h:113:10: fatal error: RAK13800_W5100S.h: No such file or directory

After removing the includes:

src/mqtt/MQTT.h:17:10: fatal error: EthernetClient.h: No such file or directory

If I'm not mistaken it should be enough to include ETH.h as part of the ESP32 Arduino library.

Related to #2107. I did not reverse engineer the board fully yet, but apparently Eth and LoRa are connected in parallel.

Thoughts?

I am not sure if LoRa module can be connected to those GPIO pins, as those pins are reserved for SPI Flash.

If you check wires, they are connected to ESP32 Pins around 28-33 which is used for SPI Flash.
Atleast I am not aware that you can share Quad Serial Flash interface with something else.

My guess from that 4 layer board is, that lora module will be connected around JTAG pins GPIO 12-14

Ethernet also has exact pins, which Can not be used to anything else around 20-26
