Thanks a lot.
Love to see the software supports commercial gateways like RAK.

Hope you will support Dragino LPS8 or LPS8v2 or DLOS8N soon.

Thanks again.

Hello @brocaar Do you know if the kernel is compatible with OpenVPN in this version ? Thanks

I tried installing the Gateway OS on a RAK7268V2 and ran into some problems. I created a separate topic in the Gateway OS category.

You are correct. When trying to make a last-minute improvement, I accidentally copied over the wrong content. Working now on a bugfix release.

v4.5.3

Updates

  • Update OpenWrt to v23.05.5.
  • Update ChirpStack Concentratord to v4.4.4.

Improvements

GPS time synchronization

This adds GPS time synchronization for the following gateways:

  • RAK7267
  • RAK7289v2

If these gateways are operating as Relay gateways (ChirpStack Gateway Mesh) this assures that the heartbeat timestamp is accurate.

RAK7268v2 multi-slot

This changes the RAK7268v2 image to support multiple slots. While this gateway is (currently) sold with a single concentrator module, it is possible to install an additional concentrator module, for example a 2.4GHz module to use together with the ChirpStack Gateway Mesh feature. (#5)

Note: After upgrading, you must re-configure the Concentratord / MQTT Forwarder and Gateway Mesh (if used) to use the Slot 1 configuration.

Other improvements

  • Show all Gateway IDs in web-interface footer. (#7)
  • RAK7391: Add SPI device-paths to concentrator selector. (#6)
  • RAK7391: Add reset GPIOs for SPI concentrators. (#9)
