Hello,
We are developing a LoRaWAN gateway using the Semtech SX1302 and an MPU. We plan to publish the design files under a GPL License.
Currently, we are using the Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder to communicate with LoRaWAN servers like ChirpStack. Previously, while tinkering with ChirpStack, I used ST's P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 gateway. This MCU-based gateway also used the Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder; however, in the ChirpStack GUI, it was always labeled as "Never Seen," even though there were no communication issues between the gateway bridge and the gateway.
I can add edge devices without any problems—the data is correct and everything functions well—but the gateway status remains "Never Seen." After some research, I discovered that gateways are supposed to send a some kind of heartbeat signal periodically.
My question is: how can I ensure my custom gateway is fully compatible with ChirpStack in every aspect?
All replys are appriciated. Thank you.
