A newest software based on Raspbian OS for RAK2245 and RAK831 + RPi!

Hello,
I got yesterday the RAK7243.
After setup with the latest Raspbeery Image I found an error with Gateway Id in json-File.

Looks ok:
pi@rak-gateway:~ $ rak-version
Gateway ID:B827EBFFFExxxxD8
rakwireless gateway 2245 version 2.4R
pi@rak-gateway:~ $

But when:
pi@rak-gateway:~ $ sudo gateway-config
2) Setup RAK831/RAK2245…
3) Edit packet forwarder
Doesn’t write Gateway ID in /opt/ttn-gateway/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/global_conf.json
It shows -->
“gateway_conf”: {
“gateway_ID”: “0000000000000000”,

I had to insert manualy :frowning:
Could you please check that.
Afterwards RAK Gateway is running.
Thanks

Hi, @qrstu

In the latest firmware, you can find the gateway ID which will generate automatically in the file </opt/ttn-gateway/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/local_conf.json>. It doesn’t matter if the gateway_ID of global_conf.json is 0000000000000.

Hi, does this work for raspberry pi 4? I tried booting the image but I get blank screen. Thanks!

Hi @Fomi I found this latest image for RPI3, https://downloads.rakwireless.com/en/LoRa/RAK2245-Pi-HAT/Firmware/RAK2245%26RAK831_based_on_Raspbian_OS_for_RPI3_V4.1.0_20191202.zip
Is this image built-in with chirpstack server?.

TIA

Hi @asprakash,

Yes, in this image, the built-in server is ChirpStack.

@Fomi Thanks for the confirmation. My gateway connected with the IP address, 192.168.1.8. Then I called 192.168.1.8:8080 on the browser from another PC available on the same network. I am getting page not found error. But I can able to ssh to my gateway with the same IP address.

TIA

We tested the firmware https://downloads.rakwireless.com/en/LoRa/RAK2245-Pi-HAT/Firmware/RAK2245%26RAK831_based_on_Raspbian_OS_for_RPI3_V4.1.0_20191202.zip and it worked.

Can you log in to the gateway via ssh and send me the following information?
1.gateway-version
2.ps -ef | grep chirp
3.File “/var/log/syslog” is sent to my email [email protected]

@ZhuQI Its look like my sdcard was not properly flashed. I reflashed my sdcard and I can able to get the web interface. Thanks for your support.
