Is it possible to ssh into the Pi and update the software from 2.4R to 2.8R? Is it even necessary with the recent releases? My gateway is on the roof and not easy to reflash the SD card.
Yes, it is possible to update the firmware through SSH, but we need to make a update file for you.
It may take 1 day to do it, just wait for me. Iāll reply ASAP.
This file is only used for RAK2245 Pi HAT LoRa Gateway, if your gateway is this one, you can do as follow:
copy this update file into you RAK2245 Pi HAT LoRa gateway;
excute ātar -zxvf update_2.4_to_2.8.tgzā to uncompress the file;
i guess you ssh with it through ethernet, right? if it isnāt, just ignore step 3-4 and jump to step 5 directly.
Enter the folder <update_2.4_to_2.8>, and open the file dhcpcd.conf;
at the end of the file, you can see the following content:
I get a lot of errors with your update (note I added an extra ātā to http in my post below, it would not let me post multiple links)ā¦
