Failed to start the concentrator #68

I'm following the wiki page to setup the LoRa Gateway using RPi3. I followed the steps managed to register the gateway in thingsnetwork. However, the status of the gateway is displayed as "not connected".

I get the following output when I run, sudo systemctl status ttn-gateway.service.

I also noticed that my final pin layout after connecting the ic880a board to RPi3 is different to that of the picture in the wiki page. I have attached an image of my pin configuration in the link below. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ak9WeKMxuttok9dijCJgaJHz2gKPkg?e=AfAgXf

Can someone please help me to sort out this issue?

This is now resolved. My pin configuration was incorrect. I finally used the correct GPIO layout and it solved the problem. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio/
