Note: The device is using the RAK2287 Pi HAT, which uses RAK2287 concentrator with one SX1302 chip and two SX1250.

The packet forwarder (latest version) fails during startup with the following logs -

SX1261 reset through GPIO17...
CoreCell power enable through GPIO18...
CoreCell ADC reset through GPIO13...

ERROR: Failed to set SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC mode
ERROR: failed to setup radio 0
ERROR: [main] failed to start the concentrator

Tried using the chip_id tool, but that gives the same error -

ERROR: Failed to set SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC mode
ERROR: failed to setup radio 0

Interestingly power cycling (power off and on) helps. Logs after power cycle -

Closing SPI communication interface
CoreCell reset through GPIO17...
SX1261 reset through GPIO17...
CoreCell power enable through GPIO18...

But after the above command, if it is ran again, the problem shows up again -

root@bf8cb7d6a21e:/opt/sx1302_hal/bin# ./chip_id 
CoreCell reset through GPIO17...
SX1261 reset through GPIO17...

Opening SPI communication interface
Note: chip version is 0x10 (v1.0)
ERROR: Failed to set SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC mode
ERROR: failed to setup radio 0
ERROR: failed to start the gateway

Note: Chip version goes from v0.5 to v1.0 after a power cycle, which is probably not normal.

Not sure how to fix/debug this ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The RAK2287 has its own firmware designed to work with the board described here. When using the sx1302_hal with the CoreCell board (PCB_E539V03A, user guide here), additional parameters are needed for the USB version with MCU mounted. Since the RAK2287 concentrator also has a MCU, try the following command instead:
./chip_id -u -d /dev/ttyACM0

I have the same problem with lora concentrator module RAK2287. Sometimes it works ok after power cycle..I also noticed switching version from v16(working) to v5(not working). Tried RAK's firmware for RAK2287 as suggested but got the same problem. Also tried test_loragw_com and test_loragw_com_sx1250 but it READS only zero.
For me, bypassing returns 1 didnt work. It reads zeros after this is executed a = ioctl(spi_device, SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(1), &k); in loragw_sx1250.c and crash anyway.

Any suggestion to debug ?

I can confirm similar results.

@kmuster-semtech Installed the latest RAK firmware as suggested. Same error.

Note: The Read Values are a fixed value.

Also in /opt/ttn-gateway/packet_forwarder/lora_pkt_fwd, the reset pin is set as SX1302_RESET_PIN=17.

Is there a way to read any error codes from the sx1302 chip to understand what is the exact error ? Any specific register that could be read ?

SX1302_RESET_PIN=25
seems to solve the problem

@gswebspace

@mareksbb Thanks for sharing ! It certainly is helping. The packet forwarder seems to be working fine now.

GPIO 25 seems to be connected to the GPS modules's RESET pin (on the RAK2287 Pi HAT).
I have modified the reset_lgw.sh to do a GPS reset and then the sx1302 reset.

Starting longevity test to check stability.

The original cause of the issue is still unknown and needs investigation.

@ahmed560 If you see the error Failed to set SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC mode then so far the only solution is to try using GPIO25 , see : #67 (comment)

I'm facing same issue:

"Failed to set SX1250_0 in STANDBY_RC mode"

Running on Raspberry Pi4B (4GB) with 64bit bullseye.

Update:

Changed the OS to 32bit bullseye and tried with SX1302_RESET_PIN=17 as well as SX1302_RESET_PIN=25.

Same error:

This issue is generally due to a bad SPI connection/configuration.
You need to have test_loragw_com running with no error first.
And of course, the the reset_lgw.sh script has to be executed.

@chaudhariatul
Copy link

@mcoracin Initially I had the same assumption that the SPI connection is bad.

However, I am able to use this setup with https://github.com/xoseperez/basicstation and able to connect it to ThingStack.

I've reached out to the rak forum for help too.

@mcoracin

@chaudhariatul if the SPI is ok, I guess the issue would be around the reset_lgw.sh script, maybe the GPIO used on the RAK gateway are not the same ?
I guess the RAK support should be able to help for that.

I'm a bit surprised by the "chip version is 0x05 (v0.5)", I don't think this version exists.
Could you try with SPI speed at 2MHz instead of 8MHz ?

@chaudhariatul

Changing the speed to 2Mhz still shows chip version is 0x05 (v0.5)

Which gateway hardware are you using exactly, and which version of the HAL ?
The version should be 1.0, 1.2 or 1.3 for the sx1302_hal.
Are you sure that the power supply is ok ?

@mcoracin
Gateway hardware : It's an used RakV2 helium miner that I got from ebay. It was on the deny list of Helium. I'm repurposing this for something else.
Where should I look for the HAL details?
Power supply seems to be ok, I connected it to another setup of RaspberryPi with RAK2287 and it works.

First run after power cycle (shutdown + wait 5mins + power on)

Update:

Changing reset port to 25 and disabling temperature checks as done here helped: https://github.com/brocaar/sx1302_hal

I will need to create or find a patch for BasicStation when using RAK2287 : https://github.com/lorabasics/basicstation

mcoracin commented Dec 2, 2022

So, disabling the temperature sensor is to avoid the startup error I guess, right ?
Then the issue you were getting was due to the sx1302 not being reset due to wrong pin, is that correct ?

Correct.

RAK2287 board which comes from the Helium miner seems to be slightly different than the one sold separately. I cant tell what are these differences but looking from the top there is no GPS on the RakV2.

So setting the reset port to 25 and disabling temperature check works. Here is the output:

I'm able to use the the board with thingstack:

cat docker-compose.yml
version: '3.7'
services:
  basicstation:

    container_name: basicstation

    environment:
      MODEL: "SX1302"
      DEVICE: "/dev/spidev0.0"
      INTERFACE: "SPI"
      MODEL: "SX1302"
      DESIGN: "CORECELL"
      GW_RESET_GPIO: 25
      SPI_SPEED: "8000000"
      GATEWAY_EUI: "________"
      USE_CUPS: 0
      SERVER: "______"

      TC_TRUST: "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MIIDvjCCAqagAwIBAgIUFOEN1....-----END CERTIFICATE-----"
      TC_KEY: "NNSXS...."

So the next thing to identify is a patch required to disable temperature. I have these references and need to find a right solution:

  1. Temperature sensor is optional #63
  2. Stop failing on lack of temperature sensor on i.e. RAK5146 lorabasics/basicstation#157
  3. ERROR: failed to configure the temperature sensor lorabasics/basicstation#125 (comment)
