Chirsptack concentratord manual installation

1

Good afternoon, I have a Waveshare SX1302 LoRaWAN Gateway HAT with a Raspberry Pi 4. After installing the ChirpStack Gateway OS image, everything works perfectly. However, due to a need to install other services, I tried installing a Raspberry Pi OS Debian Bullseye and ChirpStack Concentrator on the same Raspberry Pi, but I’m unable to receive data. I’m attaching the chirpstack-concentrator.toml file.

Log level.

log_level=“INFO”

[concentrator]

ZeroMQ API configuration.

[concentrator.api]
event_bind=“ipc:///tmp/concentrator_event”
command_bind=“ipc:///tmp/concentrator_command”

[gateway]

Antenna to use.

antenna_gain=0

LoRaWAN region.

region=“AU915”

Your hardware model.

model=“waveshare_sx1302_lorawan_gateway_hat”

Concentrator configuration.

[gateway.concentrator]
spi_device=“/dev/spidev0.0”

Standard Multi-SF channel list for AU915 SB2.

multi_sf_channels=[
916800000,
917000000,
917200000,
917400000,
917600000,
917800000,
918000000,
918200000,
]
The installed file is chirpstack-concentrator-sx1302_4.5.0_linux_arm64.tar.gz

Thank you very much

Hi could you please send more logs of the journalctl of chirpstack concentratord?

Good morning, thank you for the response, I attach what I requested.
I deleted the gateway ID for security reasons.

administrator@gatewaylora:~/chirpstack-docker $ sudo journalctl -u chirpstack-concentratord -f

Could there be an incompatibility in the operating system that prevents the concentrator and the bridge from communicating?
