ChirpStack concentratord stops working after "Processing u-blox NAV-TIMEGPS" message

Viewed 5

Hi

I encountered an issue with chirpstack-concentratord after the log message "Processing u-blox NAV-TIMEGPS" appears.

Testing version:

  • chirpstack-concentratord-sx1302 4.6.0
  • chirpstack-gateway-mesh 4.1.2
  • chirpstack-mqtt-forwarder 4.5.1

After the log "Processing u-blox NAV-TIMEGPS", the concentratord stops functioning. The border gateway can no longer receive LoRa packets until the concentratord service is restarted.

The gateway is using a u-blox GPS module. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Thanks.
