Hello,
I’m trying to set up a LoRa Gateway and connect it to the The Tings Stack v3.
Whatever I try, I do not succeed. If I choose RPI3 64 bit (aarch64) and use the Deploy button from the Hub-page (https://hub.balena.io/apps/1835021/basicstation-gateway-TTS) it starts building a release and then stops with an error.

[Error] Service: basicstation
[Error] Error: The command '/bin/sh -c install_packages jq' returned a non-zero code: 100

[Error] Not deploying release.
If i try it with RPI3 (armv7hf) from https://hub.balena.io/apps/1759470/basicstation i get this:
[Info] Starting build for basicstation, user info298

I also tried with CLI: No difference.
If I make a fresh RPI3 (arm7vf) with balenaOS 6.7.7+rev2 and push these GitHub’s, I get with CLI:

Maybe someone has an idea how to accomplish running a Basicstation on Balena.
Funny fact: I had it working with this hardware. I set it up years ago: I remember pushing a Balena Deploy button from a GitHub repository and followed the instructions and….it worked and connected to The Thing Network. I even found a photo of it. But I used the SD-card for something else, so I erased it a few weeks ago 
Any help appreciated!
