Testing (test_loragw_hal_rx & test_loragw_hal_tx) error

[amchangama]

Hi All I am running the my experiment on Raspberry 4B and I could register the gate to the ttn, however when I tried to run the (test_loragw_hal_rx and test_loragw_hal_tx) I got this error (ERROR: failed to configure rxrf 0 ). Would you please help in this.

Kinds regards

Could you please share the complete console output, and the command line parameters you used ?

Same issue here. When i run the files same output

Yes, because you need to give some parameters to configure the hardware, and the modulation. Using the -h param will give you the options available.

You mention TTN, but if you need to connect your gateway to the network server, you'll need to use the packet forwarder with the global_conf.json file corresponding to your region.

@mcoracin Thank your comment, would you mind giving an example for t

@mcoracin would you mind giving an example as that can pave the way for us to discover more. Thanks in advance

@amchangama please find below examples for launching the HAL RX & TX test tools:

./test_loragw_hal_rx -u -d /dev/ttyACM0 -k 0 -r 1250 -a 867.5 -b 868.5 -m 0

=> To be used for a USB corecell using sx1250 radios. It will initialize 8 channels as defined in the utility source code. 4 channels around the center frequency specified by -a param, and 4 other channels around the center frequency specified by -b param.

./test_loragw_hal_tx -u -d /dev/ttyACM0 -k 0 -r 1250 -f 868.5 -m LORA -s 9 -b 125 -l 8 -n 10 -z 23 -i

=> For sending 10 LoRa packets of size 23 bytes with SF9 BW125 KHz.

If you want to connect a packet forwarder to TTN, you'll need to run (for EU868 region):

./lora_pkt_fwd -c global_conf.json.sx1250.EU868.USB

But before that update the global_conf.json.sx1250.EU868.USB file with your Gateway ID, server address and uplink/downlink ports as defined by TTN.

@mcoracin Thank you so much. It worked. However I am putting the command for the spi version in case there is a someone who may need it : ./test_loragw_hal_rx -d /dev/spidev0.0 -k 0 -r 1250 -a 867.5 -b 868.5 -m 0

when i start lora_pkt_fwd -c global_conf.json.sx1250.EU868.USB i have Packet Forwarder Version: 2.1.0 SX1302 HAL library version info Version: 2.1.0;
