v4.6.1

This release only includes changes for the ChirpStack Gateway OS Full (Raspberry Pi) and the RAK7391 (Raspberry Pi CM4) images.

Improvements

• Import LoRaWAN device repository after starting ChirpStack (such that the web-interface is immediately accessible after boot).

Bugfixes

• Fix mkdir typo in chirpstack init script.

v4.6.0

This release only includes changes for the ChirpStack Gateway OS Full (Raspberry Pi) and the RAK7391 (Raspberry Pi CM4) images.

Features

PostgreSQL > SQLite migration

This release replaces the ChirpStack PostgreSQL database with SQLite. By migrating to SQLite, PostgreSQL is no longer required and thus reducing the dependencies. It also makes it easier to create backups as the SQLite database is stored as a single file (/srv/chirpstack/chirpstack.sqlite).

Before you upgrade

Before you upgrade, you should migrate the data to SQLite first, as after upgrading the PostgreSQL binaries will no longer be available. To migrate ChirpStack data, you can use the migration utility (for ARMv7) that will automatically create the SQLite database and migrate the data.

You must download the .ipk package from [https://github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack-pg-to-sqlite/releases (https://github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack-pg-to-sqlite/releases). In the ChirpStack Gateway OS v4.5.x web-interface, navigate to System > Software click the Upload package... button and upload the .ipk package. After uploading it will immediately initialize the SQLite database and print the status of the migration.

v4.5.5

Updates

• Update ChirpStack Concentratord to v4.4.5.

Bugfixes

• Fix random wifi interface MAC for MIPS-based RAK gateways.
• UDP Forwarder: Fix missing slog configuration. (#120)

v4.5.4

Bugfixes

• Fix duplicated [concentratord] configuration section preventing ChirpStack UDP Forwarder from starting.

v4.5.3

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)

v4.5.2

Bugfixes

• Fix GNSS device path for RAK7289v2 and RAK7267.
• Include correct configuration for RAK7267.

v4.5.1

Bugfixes

• Fix regression in ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder init script.

v4.5.0
