Concentrator start failed: lgw_start - Problems connecting Gateway to Lora TTS Cloud

Project help

Hi,

I’m looking for help connecting a gateway.

I am trying to connect a gateway equipped with the RAK833 on a Pi Supply IoT LoRa Gateway HAT for Raspberry Pi (https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/iot-lora-gateway-hat-for-raspberry-pi). I have followed the instructions here: https://components.mccoy.com.sg/blog/mccoy-iot-11/deploy-a-lora-basicstm-station-gateway-with-ttn-and-balena-359#blog_content :

  • deployed fleet basicstation on aarch64 to be used with a Raspberry Pi 5
  • created a device on the basicstation fleet
  • added the GW on the TheThingStack Cloud

I have added the TC_KEY (the API generated on the TTI Plateform); added the TC_URI (wss://[tenant-id].eu1.cloud.thethings.industries:8887).

Here are my variables (I’m not sure about the PIN)

It seems the concentrator wouldn’t start, but I’m not sure how to interpret the logs (please see below). I’ll be more than happy to receive some advice.

The Gateway then disconnect every 10 seconds

Okay, I finally had it working with the following configurations. Hope this can help someone else.

Hardware:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 (armv7hf)
  • PiSupply IoT Gateway HAT
  • RAK833

Device Variable:

  • GW_RESET_GPIO 17 → 22
  • GW_RESET_PIN 11 → 15
  • TC_KEY NNSXS.OSHIIXXXXXXXXXX
  • TC_URI wss://<tenant-id>.eu1.cloud.thethings.industries:8887

Device configuration:

  • Define DT overlays "vc4-fkms-v3d", "miniuart-bt"
  • Enable / Disable UART true

I haven’t tested with the rPi 5 yet.
