Hi. I am with a prototype gateway based on sx1302 Semtech reference Designs and have some problems.

Please provide more details of the setup. Is it in fact a RAK2287, or some other spin based on the Semtech design. What is the host system, and how is it connected? What have you done for select and reset signals? Does the SX1302 code have test routines the way the SX1301 code does? If so you should try those first; they may not _all_ work but some should. Also is your gateway configuration correct for the actual gateway build? In the SX1301 there were choices for the clock master radio, something like that may be the case here, too. If it’s RAK’s card, can you try it on a pi with RAK’s wiring noand RAK’s software? What are you doing for power supply? Have you checked for brownout at startup? ---

To do this edit the file `reset_lgw.sh` as below SX1302\_RESET\_PIN=17 Also you don’t need the Power Enable as the RAK2287 is permanently powered. You can see my version of the reset file at > PS, I’m not into Github and so have no idea how to link to existing Semtech code. ---

In addition to you needing to answer what was already asked, you’re also going to have to be specific about what exact concentrator this is, and what if any confirmation you have that anyone else has been able to make it work. In what situation did they use it - what host, host wiring, and software? ---

No yet. I am waiting for the fabrication of the new board. I fixed some Power bugs and I will try to execute that HAL files as soon as I receive the PCB ---

Hi. My new board works, I solved some power and footprint errors.
