BalenaCloud + RAK2287 Basicstation fail to start

lls · March 19, 2025, 8:58pm

Hi,
I have some issue with my gateway on the BalenaCloud which fails to start.

I followed the one-clic deploy from xoseperez/basicstation-docker
I installed the balenaOS on a SSD nvme on a Raspberry pi5
I’m using the RAK2287 SPI (without GPS) concentrator with the RAK2287/RAK5146 Pi HAT
I am using the following Device Variables:
DEVICE: /dev/spidev0.0
GPIO_CHIP: gpiochip4
HAS_GPS: 0
MODEL: RAK2287
RESET_GPIO: 17
TC_KEY: <API_KEY>
TC_URI: wss://<tenant_ID>.eu1.cloud.thethings.industries:8887
TLS_SNI: true
TTS_REGION: eu1

I got it working a few days ago before I updated to the balenaOS 6.5.1+rev2 host OS version. Now the concentrator fails to start and the GW on TTI disconnect every 30-40 seconds.

This is what I can see in the log:

The problem seems to be here, where it says that the concentrator fails to start:

Hi.
Please check if SPI is enabled by running the following command:

ls /dev/spidev*

lls · March 19, 2025, 9:49pm

Hi rojasyal,

This is what I get from the HOST terminal:

root@f3a3b19:~# ls /dev/spidev*
/dev/spidev0.0 /dev/spidev0.1 /dev/spidev10.0
root@f3a3b19:~#

Also, I see there is a problem with the container from the basicstation terminal

check if the service has access to SPI/GPIO.
Edit your docker-compose.yml and make sure it includes:

version: ‘2.1’
services:
basicstation:
privileged: true
devices:
- “/dev/spidev0.0”
- “/dev/gpiomem”

lls · March 19, 2025, 10:44pm

I’m not quite sure how to do that. What I can see from the release summary is the below. Would I have to change the content? That is the 2.8.4 release. I’m not sure how/where to access the docker-compose.yml file.

version: '2.4'
services:
  basicstation:
    image: xoseperez/basicstation:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host
    container_name: basicstation

lls · March 20, 2025, 12:04am

I managed to add this as a new release (but I really don’t know what I am doing)

version: '2.4'
services:
  basicstation:
    image: xoseperez/basicstation:latest
    devices:
      - /dev/spidev0.0
      - /dev/gpiomem
    restart: unless-stopped
    privileged: true
    network_mode: host
    container_name: basicstation

But it is not working. Monitoring the TTI dashboard, I see the Gateway disconnect every 30-40 seconds.

mpous · March 20, 2025, 10:45am

Hello @lls could you please confirm if it works in previous balenaOS versions?

Thanks!

lls · March 20, 2025, 11:47am

Hi Marc,

Thank you for jumping in. This is a new gateway and yes, I got it working with the previous BalenaOS before updating. Although it was a bit unstable, maybe because I had set the model to RAK5146 instead of RAK2287 by mistake. But it was showing connected in the TTI dashboard.

mpous · March 20, 2025, 1:13pm

@lls could you please try with the balenaOS version that works and share that version with us here?

Looks that maybe something is missing in the latest balenaOS versions and we are researching.

Thanks

lls · March 20, 2025, 1:30pm

Yes, I’ll be happy to try that, but I am not sure how I can downgrade to an earlier version of the balenaOS without flashing a new card. What would you suggest?

By the way, I have a second GW based on RAK833 + Pi3 that is working fine. Only the new one (RAK2287 + Pi5) is having issues connecting.

lls · March 20, 2025, 3:58pm

Hi,

I saw somewhere on the forum that downgrading BalenaOS is not supported. So, I flashed another ssd with balenaOS 5.3.22. The gateway started immediately and is showing no errors. I suppose there is something wrong with the latest release. Let me know if you need more information that might help identifying the problem.

@lls at the moment stay at the version that works and once we will have a newer version that works we will keep you posted!

Having said that, could you please confirm what model of Pi are you using?

Thanks

lls · March 20, 2025, 5:04pm

I’m using a Raspberry pi5 / 4GB

mpous · March 20, 2025, 10:07pm

@lls could you please tun in the Terminal > HostOS

cat /proc/cpuinfo

and paste here what you get? Thanks!

I’ve been having this same exact issue with my RPI4 + RAK 2287.

Same Errors and Ive tried multiple different versions of balenaOS with no success.

lls · March 30, 2025, 3:20pm

I think there are still issues with OS version balenaOS 6.5.1+rev4

It works with balenaOS 6.3.23 freshly installed on raspberry pi 3 and with balenaOS 5.3.22 on raspberry pi 5

I’m not sure until with OS I can update.

mpous · March 31, 2025, 2:06pm

@lls due to changes with the new Raspberry Pi OS, the RPi.GPIO library commonly used has been deprecated, so it is not compatible with the newer OS versions.

Check out Raspberry Pi’s History of GPIO usage document (PDF) for tips on GPIO libraries compatible with the Raspberry Pi including libgpiod.

Did you try to apply this idea from the basicstation repo?

lls · March 31, 2025, 3:32pm

Humm, I have to admit that I’m not sure what it means.

On my GW with the rPi5, I do have variables set to

DEVICE /dev/spidev0.0
GPIO_CHIP gpiochip4
MODEL RAK2287
USE_LIBGPIOD 1

Would’n that be enough? Should I add something?

Also, why would I have the same issue with the GW with the rPi3?
