Builtin gateway showing inactive in Chirpstack

[pj46280]

Im working with:

1. Rasberry pi 4
2. RAK5146 SPI
3. OS Lite 64bit

Description:
Following all of the mentioned steps in README, I can successfully access Chirpstack web gui the issue is that the builtin gateway is showing "never" in Last seen, have tried multiple times to by flashing the image tried a few iterations with Full Raspberry OS but the result is the same.

Also changed the password for roles chirpstack_as and chirpstack_ns in postgres. Need some help in this, the repo has not been updated for a long time maybe some packages are causing this issue when I update the system packages (sudo apt update)?

Thanks!

I have the same problem. The gateway was connected and suddenly stopped and the messages no longer appear.

Have you managed to resolve this?

Late to the party and I don't have a solution yet, but I found that ttn-gateway.service was trying to access /dev/ttyAMA0 as the GPS device. This device doesn't exist on my install. The relevant config file is /opt/ttn-gateway/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/global_conf.json. I am also seeing the following errors:

It seems to work better now that I have updated /opt/ttn-gateway/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd/start.sh to use pinctrl:

if command -v pinctrl &> /dev/null; then
    echo "[INFO] Using pinctrl for reset"
    PINCTRL_PREV=$(pinctrl get ${RESET_GPIO} | cut -f 2 -d':' | cut -f 1 -d'|')
    echo "[INFO] previous value: ${PINCTRL_PREV}"
    pinctrl set ${RESET_GPIO} op dl
    sleep 0.1
    pinctrl set ${RESET_GPIO} dh
    sleep 0.1
    pinctrl set ${RESET_GPIO} dl
    sleep 0.1
    pinctrl set ${RESET_GPIO} ${PINCTRL_PREV}
    sleep 0.1
elif command -v gpioset &> /dev/null; then
    echo "[INFO] Using GPIOD (gpioset) for reset"

    gpioset ${GPIO_CHIP} ${RESET_GPIO}=0
    sleep 0.1
    gpioset ${GPIO_CHIP} ${RESET_GPIO}=1
    sleep 0.1
    gpioset ${GPIO_CHIP} ${RESET_GPIO}=0
    sleep 0.1

I'll structure this better and make a PR.
