Rasp 4 + Pi Hat + RAK2287 SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC Error

Hello everyone,

I have completed the following physical setup for a simple LoRaWAN Gateway setup.

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 2GB
RAK2287/RAK5146 Pi HAT
RAK2287(SPI)

OS: Raspberry Pi OS Lite(32 Bit)
Repo: rak_common_for_gateway

However, we have some problems;

  • I selected 7 in the installation (7.RAK7248(SPI) no LTE (RAK2287(SPI) + raspberry pi))
  • The service won’t start.
  • We get the following error logs in the service logs and when I want to start it manually.
This is uart for GPS.
WARNING: [main] impossible to open /dev/ttyS0 for GPS sync (check permissions)
CoreCell reset through GPIO17...
Opening SPI communication interface
Note: chip version is 0x10 (v1.0)
ERROR: Failed to set SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC mode
ERROR: failed to setup radio 0
ERROR: [main] failed to start the concentrator

The interesting thing is that when I start it again, no version information comes up.

In reset_lgw.sh file “SX1302_RESET_PIN” appears as 17.

I don’t know what to do about it.

We are investigating the problem and we fixed this issue. Maybe it can help you too. We found the solution by replacing the Raspberry PI. Because some raspberry’s SPI and clock speed seems to work incorrectly. I am sending the relevant addresses below. It may be useful for other customers.
