2247 Concentrator not starting with Chirpstack OS 4.2.0 and Pi 3B+

Network Server Stack for LoRaWAN
1

Hi, hoping someone can get me on the right track here. :confused:

I’ve a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and PiSupply (RAK2247) Hat. I’ve set up the Chirpstack Gateway OS (4.2.0 Full) and configured Concentratored to SX1301:
Untitled

It seems like the concentrator is not starting and is stuck in a loop:

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction …?

Please try to send us full logs because this is not usable for debugging

Thanks for you response @Nikola. Unfortunately as a new user on this forum it won’t let me upload anything ( :frowning_face:) hence the paste.

If you copy the log section above elsewhere it does include all the text although in the repeating pattern the first line logged when starting the PI is actually “Configuring reset pin, dev: /dev/gpiochip0, pin: 22”.

I’m open to any other ideas you may have for sharing the log or if there’s other logs that might help ?

Are you using a shield from Pi Supply? If it is RAK Pi Hat please select the correct one.

It is the PI Supply Hat.

Hello @DRC65 ,

I have upgraded your trust level to basic user, please try to upload logs.

The problem is probably the reset pin if it can not be accessed the chipstack OS will not be able to start operating the concentrator. But to check that and to be able to find a solution we will need some logs.
Also please try to set the reset PIN to 17(I think now it should be 22) and see if that is the reset PIN.

Regards,
Nikola Semov
