Hello everyone,
I am encountering an issue with my Lorank8 gateway after updating the Packet Forwarder to version 4.0.1 (Semtech Packet Forwarder) and using the software from Ideetron’s repository.
When I run lora_pkt_fwd, the program fails to start, giving me the following error:
root@lorank8:/home/debian/lorank8v1# ./start
Starting the standard Semtech packet forwarder.

In the system logs (/var/log/syslog), I see this message:

I would appreciate any guidance or troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.
Thank you in advance!
