Hello, I am trying to install a sx1302 has on a Raspi 3 using the Wavshare Wiki. When trying with the “./chip\_id” command I get the following message: CoreCell reset through GPIO23… SX1261 reset through GPIO23… CoreCell power enable through GPIO18… CoreCell ADC reset through GPIO13… Opening SPI communication interface ERROR: failed to start the gateway Here I don’t get any further, why the gateway can’t start at this point. Regards Ralph (derabu1) ---

And the other 3 times SPI was not enabled using raspi-config. ---

Yep exactly!, actually 1st category was possibly 6.5 out if 10…the other 1 in 20 is overlap with SPI problem even if correctly enabled with some cards not supporting full speed/timing and needing clock rate to be dialed back! 🤣 the guilty card vendors know who they are… 😉 ---

Or enable I2C in the interface menu Raspi-config that solve my ERROR. ---

I2C?..or SPI? ---

The new sx1302 based concentrator cards require both SPI and I2C. ---

I been having the same issue on [SX1302CSS915GW1](https://www.semtech.com/products/wireless-rf/lora-core/sx1302cssxxxgw1) dev kit from Semtech. I’ve ensured SPI and I2C are enabled several times. Can confirm they exist in /dev. I’ve also remapped the GPIO pins in 'reset\_lgw.sh" to match what it appears they should be based on the board [schematic](https://semtech.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/#E0000000JelG/a/2R000000UhZD/Yfe8ltRCbeEofCnGdwWHsSQ4wVh6EiNa_CXb3N.DixI). I can get most things to work via USB, but nothing seems to work with SPI. Using USB (./chip\_id -u -d /dev/ttyACM0), I get this: ```auto Opening USB communication interface INFO: Configuring TTY INFO: Flushing TTY INFO: Setting TTY in blocking mode INFO: Connect to MCU INFO: Concentrator MCU version is V01.00.00 INFO: MCU status: sys_time:10826747 temperature:25.3oC Note: chip version is 0x10 (v1.0) INFO: using legacy timestamp ARB: dual demodulation disabled for all SF INFO: concentrator EUI: 0x00xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Closing USB communication interface ``` Using SPI(./chip\_id -d /dev/spidev0.0), I get this: ```auto CoreCell reset through GPIO4...

Opening SPI communication interface Note: chip version is 0x00 (v0.0) ERROR: Failed to set SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC mode ERROR: failed to setup radio 0 ERROR: failed to start the gateway ``` ---

Hi @mpittman , the Spectral Scan dev kit from Semtech has only USB support as they did not load the resistors for the SPI - PCI interface connection. ---

Yes thanks. I finally figured that out after lots of head scratching. 😀 ---

@mpittman What did you do to get it working ? I’m currently facing t he same issue. ---

You have the same problem that the USB card only works over USB and the SPI card only over SPI? ---

@jreiss Below are the error logs I was talking about. What possibly could be the cause ? and how do I resolve it ? ```auto CoreCell reset through GPIO23... SX1261 reset through GPIO23...

It’s sx1302-hat-waveshare ([https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/SX1302\_LoRaWAN\_Gateway\_HAT](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/SX1302_LoRaWAN_Gateway_HAT)). I have enabled both spi and i2c. I hope this answers your question. ---

D18 and D23 look to be correct and default in reset\_gw.sh. But D18 is not labeled in the pinout diagram. D22 isn’t shown either bit is for CN version. Have you reached out to waveshare support?

In my case, the SPI bus is not physically connected on the dev board. So even though I was enabling it and configuring it correctly, the SPI pins were not connected (resistors not installed on board). Your board is different but I would check the schematic if there is one. ---

I struggled with this for hours on end. Turns out I had to really push the concentrator really hard into the PCI slot on the HAT board, and then finally the scripts worked. I found this in the Waveshare FAQ which lead me to try this (as well as being out of options) > “Considering the gold finger contact is poorly caused, please press down the tail and then access the test, so that the module and module good fit.” > [https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/SX1302\_LoRaWAN\_Gateway\_HAT#FAQ](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/SX1302_LoRaWAN_Gateway_HAT#FAQ) ---
