Hello.
My problem is regarding RAK831 migration TTN gateway from v2 to v3 and from packet forwarder to basic station. I’m using RPi 3B+ and RAK 831, all in Balena. All RAK831 worked fine with packet forwarder in TTN v2.
Then, I’ve migrated RPi&RAK831 to basic station in Balena as it is described here: https://www.balena.io/blog/deploy-a-basics-station-lora-gateway-with-ttn-and-balena/
It seems I was lucky and first GW working without any problem (!). Another three RPi&RAK831 couldn’t connect despite the equal settings. The error is the same:
[RAL:ERRO] Concentrator start failed: lgw_start
RAK 2245 instead RAK 831 works fine. Also tested with this settings in Balena, but doesn’t change anything:
SPI_SPEED 2000000
RESIN_HOST_CONFIG_core_freq 250
Despite problems with three RAK 831, fourth one in same environment works fine. Why three concentrators trying to connect all the time, unsuccessfully?
TTN console shows:
17:14:11 Disconnect gateway
17:14:10 Receive gateway status Versions firmware"1.0.0"package"1.0.0"platform"rpi - Firmware 1.0.0 - Protocol 2"station"2.0.5(rpi/std)"
17:14:10 Connect gateway
Balena’s log shows:

Does someone have any idea where to start “witch hunt”?
Thank You for any hint!
