sudo raspi-config

Skmark · June 4, 2019, 9:13am

Yes i Enabled

BoRRoZ · June 4, 2019, 9:30am

the device has a working internet connection and you’ve runned the install script

Skmark · June 4, 2019, 9:43am

I didn’t understand what’s the install script ? but the device is connected to working internet

BoRRoZ · June 4, 2019, 9:45am

what steps did you take and from which tutorial ?

Skmark · June 4, 2019, 9:50am

Those steps from GitHub Sir :

this step is important

Clone the installer and start the installation

  $ git clone -b spi https://github.com/ttn-zh/ic880a-gateway.git ~/ic880a-gateway
  $ cd ~/ic880a-gateway
  $ sudo ./install.sh spi

Yes i did it and i did all those steps but the same problem

BoRRoZ · June 4, 2019, 10:05am

TTN doesn’t know your gateway ID at this moment , something in the installation steps went wrong and your GW is not forwarding data .

( WARNING : never power up without the antenna! )

Skmark · June 4, 2019, 10:10am

No i didn’t connect any Node Because the status of the gateway ( not connected )

Hi @Skmark, I use the following CLI/bash command on the RPI to check that the packet forwarder software is running correctly:

$ sudo systemctl status ttn-gateway.service

You should get output that looks something like:

? ttn-gateway.service - The Things Network Gateway
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ttn-gateway.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2017-06-09 13:14:22 UTC; 2h 31min ago
Main PID: 433 (start.sh)
CGroup: /system.slice/ttn-gateway.service
±433 /bin/bash /opt/ttn-gateway/bin/start.sh
±815 ./poly_pkt_fwd

If it is not running then you should be able to try to start the forwarder with a command like:

$ sudo systemctl start ttn-gateway.service

If these do not work then there is something wrong with the hardware or software and you can try to manually start the forwarder and look at the console output.

what’s the next step please ?
