Installation RAK2245 - CHirpstack not installed?

[DeBuffel]

Hi,

I have successfully installed the RAK common gateway software (GitHub - RAKWireless/rak_common_for_gateway) on a RAK2247 (SPI / Pi-Supply).

After following the installation procedure Chirpstack is installed and all working fine.

Now I am following the same procedure to install the RAK common gateway on a RPI CM4 with the RAK2245. After installation I am not able to find ChirpStack.

Are additional steps required to install ChirpStack from the RAK2245?

Thanks

Found the issue that caused Chirpstack not to be installed on the CM4 - solution below

• RAK Gateway is per default installed with ChirpStack
• A check is performed on the RPi model - this is done in do_get_rpi_model()
  Located in: ~/rak_common_for_gateway/rak/rak/shell_script/rak_common.sh
• Only the RPi3, RPi4 and Pi Z are “OKed” in this check (and RPi CM4 is not considered)
• Solution is to modify the script:
• In the folder ~/rak_common_for_gateway/rak/rak/shell_script/
• Edit the following: sudo nano rak_common.sh

> do_get_rpi_model()
> {
>     model=255
>     text=`tr -d '\0' </proc/device-tree/model | grep -a 'Pi 3'`
>     if [ ! -z "$text" ]; then
>         model=3
>     fi
> 
>     if [ $model -eq 255 ]; then
>         text=`tr -d '\0' </proc/device-tree/model | grep -a 'Pi 4'`
>         if [ ! -z "$text" ]; then
>             model=4
>         fi
>     fi

I issued the above on github as well (here)
With the above changes Chirpstack is working fine on the RPi CM4.
