GatewayOS to WisGateOS2 Clarification

ChirpStack Gateway OS
1

Going back to WisGateOS2 on my RAK7268v2, being careful because I dont want to brick it. Using this guide: RAK - ChirpStack open-source LoRaWAN® Network Server documentation

There’s a bin file provided in the guide, i also found a bin file on the rak website. These two arent the same, the checksum for both are different:

1. https://artifacts.chirpstack.io/downloads/chirpstack-gateway-os/rak/wisgateos-ramips-mt76x8-rakwireless_rak636-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
2. https://downloads.rakwireless.com/LoRa/WisGateOS2/History-Version-Release/WisGateOS2_2.0.1.zip

im wondering which one to really use.

Also, where does the compat_version number come from?
uci set system.@system[0].compat_version='2.1.4'

i also found a bin file on the rak website.

On which page? :slight_smile:

The one I tested is the one from the ChirpStack documentation. But maybe both can be used? If you provide me with the page where you found the “official” RAK image, I can look into that + do some testing and maybe update the docs.

Also, where does the compat_version number come from?

That number comes from the error message if you do not make that change.

The device is supported, but this image is incompatible for sysupgrade based on the image version (1.0->2.1.4)

it’s in link 2 that I included in the question, the zip file contains a bin of the first version of GatewayOS2, the other GatewayOS2 downloads only includes the rwi update

What I meant to ask is, on which RAK documentation page did you find the https://downloads.rakwireless.com/LoRa/WisGateOS2/History-Version-Release/WisGateOS2_2.0.1.zip link?

Gotcha, I didnt find it from any documentation. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

I knew that RAK posted their updates on that particular page through this forum post:

I was going through their release history and noticed that they too provide a .bin file for firmware (v2.0.1).
https://downloads.rakwireless.com/#LoRa/WisGateOS2/History-Version-Release/

I was just wondering if the .bin file they provide and the one chirpstack documentation provides are analogous in terms of usage.

so i guess i’ll just use the one from the documentation?

7

Yes, that is at least the .bin that I have used for my testing.
