And just had to adapt “Reset” to RasPI BCM pin 5 (phys pin 29) (Info supplied by IMST)

But i’m wondering what packet forwarder i’m using here ??

I think this is the one (from the install script) , but it says it’s abandoned on git.  
git clone -b legacy [GitHub - TheThingsArchive/packet\_forwarder: Packet forwarder for Linux based gateways](https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/packet_forwarder.git)

Does anyone have a guide, for how to use the below forwarder instead ?

I’m used to building stuff on linux from source , but need a few hints for the integration of the kersing forwarder , into the ttn-ch build (guide)

I would like to avoid the [resin.io](http://resin.io) stuff , as i’m using the Pi for other stuff too

TIA

You can still use the build script (dev/build.sh) included in the [resin.io](http://resin.io) stuff to build the executable.

This one use the latest @kersing packed forwarder and based on @jpmeijers build script , you can pick up script and get what you need

@Charles

Just had a quick glance , seems to be “easy” to build.

Will try during next week

Thnx
